Giddy Up!

You guessed it! It's G(G) week!

Grab and excellent reward!

Time is running out for our CrowdFunder. We need to raise £15,000 and then Sports England will match it, getting us £30,000 towards a new arena surface. There are rewards to suit all budgets, and if you have a business you can even buy your work Christmas Party through it! Please have a look and if you can't afford to donate please share, that really helps! Thank you.

Galloping onto the scene!

Well, actually walking sedately off a horse lorry... This week we welcomed a new addition to our herd: Caya! She has a lovely temperament and was so relaxed after her long journey. She is currently in isolation, so please don't touch her no matter how tempting. We hope to be able to introduce her to the rest of her stable mates soon.

Ghostly Half Term Activities

Our ARC half term activities are available to book through EC Pro. These include a fun Halloween Dress Up competition and volunteer hacks. Check the "What's On Calendar" to book.

Ghoulishly Good Discounts!

We are also running our first forest school activities this October half term! There are opportunities for participants to learn new skills, take part in fun activities like apple carving and fire lighting and have a lovely time in nature! If you are an RDA or ARC member, or a registered volunteer, make sure you have ticked that you are happy to accept marketing emails from us. Next week we will be sending you a special 50% discount code! If you aren't sure you've signed up to emails, but would like the code email Mojca and she can send it to you. You can find out more and book in our shop.

Give us some cake, please!

On Friday October 31st we will be hosting another RDA Countryside Challenge Competition. I may or may not be the farmer again. I did it so well last time that I've had requests from RDAs across the country to be their farmers. I've had to say no, my contract is exclusively with Avon. My impressive dressing up prowess, and our ability to supply visitors with delicious baked goods are two of the main draws to people attending our events (apart from the events themselves, of course), so once again we're asking you to get your pinnies on! You can either pop to the shop and grab us something yummy, or make it yourself (please include a list of ingredients so we can be allergy aware).

Getting ready for Christmas!

Our next open day is on November 23rd, and will see the return of the Avon Winterland! Some activities are already available to book through EC Pro and there will be craft activities coming to the shop soon. Make sure you pop the date in your diary, we will have stalls, activities and a grotto. We look forward to seeing you there.
