Fantastic turn out
The bag packing at Sainsbury's was a
terrific effort from over 50
club members and their families as the good citizens of
Keighley dug deep to help junior Oaks with our Training Fund. The
store was awash with youngsters, mostly in whites and many of whom
received high praise from shoppers and staff alike for their courtesy
and charm in the operation. Their efforts raised
£840
(net 760)
which will
contribute hugely
towards our hefty commitment. |

long-standing tie up with

again host the knockout competition for the Oakbank cluster of Primary
Schools. Last Year winners
Nessfield
went on to win the Keighley Area competition.

Parent chips in a
Grand.........
After the Presentation Night one parent came forward to promise
