Next fundraising event...the kickabout cup on Saturday 31st March
We're organising a big, fun, football-themed family day out called The Stoke Goldington Kickabout Cup. After the success of the Wesley Cup (cricket cup) in the summer we're introducing a similar football tournament to help raise funds for the pre-school. The focus being on getting people out and about and having fun rather than being the next Rooney or Beckham.
This is going to take place on Saturday March 31st on the village recreation ground starting at 10.30am and running all day to 6pm.
We want 6-a-side teams to enter (each team must play a girl or an under 13 - kids' teams welcome!) we're looking for around 8 teams in all - 10 would be the maximum. The entry cost per team is £18 (only £3 a player), well worth it for the chance to win the inaugural cup (there will be an actual cup!). The games will be about 10 mins each (so no dads keel over!) and after a couple of leagues (like the champions league) building up to a semi-final and a final at the end of the day.
To keep the crowds (hopefully) entertained there'll be a bar, bbq, bouncy castle, penalty shootout booth, crossbar challenge, test your strength, football face-painting, cakes, stalls, lucky dip, big spot the ball (with MK DONS family tickets as prizes)...and most importantly...we'll run a Best-Looking Dog In The Village competition to be judged by a local expert of unquestionable character (as, let's be honest this is going to be where people REALLY get competitive).
There'll be lots more on the day, but the focus is on giving everyone a great day out, welcoming people from the area to our fine village, having a bit of fun and raising some much needed money for a very worthy cause in the process.
