While the weather was not ideal, we were thrilled that so many people came along and managed to have a fantastic time. We are enormously grateful to 

• The Cuninghame family who threw open the stunning grounds of Caprington Castle for the event
• All the lovely people who turned out determined to enjoy themselves, despite the weather!
• The superb committee who worked incredibly hard to bring the entire event together
• Finesse Marquees - who made the entire event possible by providing their wonderful (and huge!) marquee and their invaluable expertise at an extremely generous rate

The attractions, many of whom did not charge us for their very valuable time and expertise:

• Rainbows and Puddles Forest School
• The Little Art School
• Jo Jingles Ayrshire
• Bala Sport - Beat the Goalie
• The Butterfly Conservation Trust
• Lucy Boyd and her team of face painters
• James Hopkins for playing entertaining us with his music during lunch

• Everyone who generously donated raffle prizes, home baking, and equipment.

We are pleased to say that the event raised several hundred pounds (the final total is still being calculated) and the Jo Walters Trust will donate this, as well as the remaining funds required, to pay for 10 children from Ayrshire to take part on a 5 day residential course with the Outward Bound Trust. 

 

There is already talk of doing it all again next year - so if you would like to be involved, please get in touch with us -info@jowalterstrust.org.uk
