DSN Calendar 2011

Primarily DSN presented the DSN 2011 Calendar in a bid to raise awareness.  This was a great success and a total of 66 copies were purchased, raising funds for Down's Syndrome Norfolk of £92.40.  Thank you to everyone who bought a copy, submitted photographs and particularly thanks to Nicola for putting it all together.

Mannington Hall Charities Day

05/09/2010
Midday - 5:00pm
Mannington Hall NR11 7BB

We had a successful day at Mannington, raising £152.70. As usual, as well as the money raised, DSN generated a lot of goodwill, with many people commenting that it was an excellent cause (as we gently relieved them of their money), and several other stallholders greeting us like long-time friends. Below you can see the treasure hunt winners, who were very happy (and "the pirate" who drummed up business for us) and the stall (unfortunately at a gusty moment).

Lions Charity Motor Show and Family Fun Day

08/08/2010 - 10am-5pm
Norwich Rugby Club Ground,
North Walsham Rd,
NR12 7BW

At our Down's Syndrome Norfolk stand 2010 we raised £244.63 - thank you everyone who participated in the lucky dip and all of you who gave so generously to DSN.

In preparation for next year 2011 which is a two day event, we need your unwanted gifts to use as prizes on the DSN "everyone's a winner lucky dip" stand at this annual event.  Gifts for any age groups gratefully accepted.

If you can donate anything, and wish to arrange collection/drop-off, please email: dsnvolunteer@downsyndrome-norfolk.org.uk

Norwich Triathlon

04/07/2010
Whitlingham Country Park, Whitlingham Lane, Trowse, Norwich, NR14 8TR

Simon Gowing is kindly raising funds for DSN.  He is participating for the first time in the Norwich Triathlon and will be competing in the 38km cycle event of the Olympic Triathlon Relay. Simon is part of a three man relay team named "Tri-Umph of Hope Over Experience".  We wish Simon and his Team all the very best in their challenge.

The relay starts and finishes at Whitlingham and consists of:
a two lap 10km run
a single lap 38km bike ride and
a 1500m open water swim in the broad
Further info can be found at www.tri-anglia.co.uk/NorwichTriathlon 

Update - Simon and his team came 7th in the relay event which is very impressive especially as this was their first year entering the event.

Simon raised an amazing £338 for Down's Syndrome Norfolk.  We extend our thanks to Simon and all of his sponsor's as their fundraising helps us to continue to offer support to people with Down’s syndrome and their families in our county

Well done Simon and his Relay Team.
