A night at the greyhounds

Friends of Shepshed Toy Library and their families enjoyed a night out at Nottingham Greyhound Stadium, as one of the featured charities in the Ballsmania Charity League Cup.

The toy library were joined by Sandiacre CC, Macmillan Cancer, TPAshby, Derwent FC, and Kauto Stars FC.

On the night we were allocated the dogs that ran from Trap 3 and were awarded points depending on where our dog came in the race. "Our" dogs won 6 out of 15 races on the night, and scored 28 points. This made us the highest scoring charity in this heat of the competition and gets us through to the cup final on 12th November.

Everyone had a great night out, and it was good to see old friends and meet new people. The night raised £80 for toy library funds.

Autumn term approaching!

We hope everyone had a good summer holiday. This is a quick reminder that the toy library will re-open on Monday 6th September.

Over the summer we ran our 100 Sporting Legends competition. 10 lucky winners won a range of great prizes including match tickets, a stadium tour, signed photos, museum passes and many more prizes. The competition raised £38 for toy library funds.

The winners were Z Ellis, P Boneham, T Widdowson, G Jones, J Thornton, A Jones, A Browne, JRS and N Patterson.

We have lots of activities lined up for the Autumn term, and look forward to seeing you all in September.
