Speeding for a worthy Claus

Posted on December 01, 2015

Despite the weather guaranteeing it would be a bad hair day with strong winds and lots of rain the Incy Wincy Santas boarded our minibus, leaving Bedale bright and early to enjoy the Martin House fundraising event at Stockeld Park's Enchanted Forest.

Some of our staff team were joined by family members and after a musical warm up with our own children, cousins, partners and 480 other Santas (!) we were soon setting off to complete the five laps of the enchanted forest.  Needless to say some were faster than others but everyone completed the Santa Run, motivated by the promise of a hot chocolate and cookie at the end.  You may see one or two of us proudly wearing our Santa Medals to work this week.  As we prepared to leave we couldn't resist a quick detour into the Christmas shop on our way out, collecting a few bits and bobs for the children at nursery to enjoy.

Team Incy Wincy's is on track to raise a few hundred pounds from this event and it is not too late to donate, we will be accepting additional sponsorship upto Friday 4th December.  You can do this by either visiting our Just Giving web page (https://www.justgiving.com/Incy-Wincy-s/) or bringing your sponsorship into nursery.  Martin House has been our nominated charity for 2015 and it was wonderful to finish the year by joining in the seasonal fun.  Next week the Parent Forum will be getting together to consider the chosen charity for 2016, if you have any suggestions for this we would love to hear them.
