Have You Heard About Us?

Have you been listening to Sunshine FM? If so then you may have heard mention of Darrens Dash 555 as it is broadcast over the airways.

This years event is shaping up to be the biggest yet. We're pushing the boat out to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We've teamed up with many people to help raise funds for the Longtown Mountain Rescue Team, The Noah's Ark Appeal for a new children's MRI scanner, and the Longtown Outdoor Education Centre Bursary Fund.

Building on the ever popular 8km hill run over challenging terrain, we're adding events for all the family. It's on the 5th of June at the end of National Family Week who are organising a national sports day. Events will be taking place all over the country so why not come and join in your local event. There's plenty for everyone - have a go at climbing and kayaking, get your face painted, try stilt walking, take on our inflatable obstacle course.

We've also had great support from local businesses when it comes to our Grand Raffle. The prize fund is growing and now includes dinner, bed & breakfast at Allt Yr Ynys hotel, outdoor jackets from Montane and Mardale, free family entry to the Hedge Puzzle and Butterfly Zoo at Symonds Yat, petrol vouchers - the list is growing all the time.

We've booked the weather for the day so why not bring the whole family and have a great day out.

The Clowns Are Out!

A pair of clowns have escaped and have bee spotted in the local area - have you seen them??

Our family fun day we're setting up Clown World - a chance for you to have a go a stilt walking, juggling and riding a unicylce. There'll be face painting and a host of other games and attraction to keep everyone active and entertained.

Feeling Fit?? Why not enter our Catch The Clown family fun run. One of our tame clowns will be let lose and it's your chance to chase.

Our clowns have been kept busy lately visiting local events and turning up during assembly at local primary schools. They're still on tour so keep you eyes peeled....
