Art Show at Stanway House - 7-9 March

The LINC Art Show was held at Stanway House this year by kind permission of Lord Niedpath.  The preview evening took place on Friday evening and was opened by Lady Apsley, the patron of LINC; a record number of guests enjoyed a glass of wine and nibbles and were able to enjoy the display of local art, photography, glass design and pottery in the beautiful surroundings of the 14th century tithe barn.  The Saturday and Sunday were open to all, attracting lots of visitors.  This event raised £2,000.00.


Kew Gardens 18 March



This was a wonderful day at Kew with tea and coffee on arrival, a guided tour and a chance to see 28 outdoor sculptures by Henry Moore, the first exhibition of its kind to be held in London.  Everybody who joined us at Kew said that it was a great day out and would love us to arrange another trip in a different season – watch this space…..


Severn Sound Supports LINC

 

Severn Sound Money Mountain raises money exclusively for local charities and community groups; over 1.2 million has been raised so far. We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all the donations they have given to LINC so far, with another fabulous £1,000 donated in March.


LINC first past the finishing line!

 

Thanks to Ladbrokes LINC has a whopping £2,000 to add to its fundraising account. Ladbrokes of Cheltenham kindly donated this amount to LINC during the Gold Cup race week; we would like to send them a big thank you. This must have been a very tense race week for them with the adverse weather conditions and cancellations, but they still found time to support us!

 


The Great Weather Lottery

Did you know that you could join in and play The Great Weather Lottery with the chance of winning up to £10,000 daily?
The Lottery is really fun to play, simply select six single lucky numbers (between 0-9) to play in our daily game (5 days a week, Monday-Friday).
Every day we will take the last digit of the recorded temperature (in Fahrenheit) as reported in the Daily Telegraph for six locations and scan all the entries to see who has won! You can check your numbers daily through The Daily Telegraph.
How to win…
Although it's fun, you don't even need to read the papers to check your numbers. We check your numbers via our computers and prizes are paid automatically.
MATCH 3 NUMBERS AND YOU WIN £2.00
MATCH 4 NUMBERS AND YOU WIN £20.00
MATCH 5 NUMBERS AND YOU WIN £200.00
