Minchinhampton Golf Club Ladies raise vital funds for CHYP

Minchinhampton Golf Club Ladies raise £5,450

As 2023 Ladies’ Captain, Jan Lloyd, was determined that her year would be all about people both on and off the golf course, and doing everything she could to raise funds for her chosen Charity – CHYP.
Helped by Club members, Sue Reid and Janet Peacock, an interesting programme of events throughout the year for all ages and abilities were arranged. These events were made possible because of generous pledges by local businesses, and the talented Golf Club members who ran or helped coordinate events, not to mention Jan’s incredible energy and commitment.
The dizzying calendar of events kicked off with a clothes, coffee & cake morning, followed by a fashion show, glass workshops, art classes, fitness and wellbeing sessions, a musical evening, the production and sale of notecards, an Xmas Wreath making workshop, raffles, on-course golf challenges, and the sponsoring of monthly Sunday lunches. Some of the CHYP residents enjoyed a golf ‘taster session’ at the Club, followed by tea and cakes.
With two of the young residents taking on their own homes during 2023, many Club ladies donated household items to help with the moves, which were gratefully received.
With such positive support from CHYP and Golf Club, Jan raised £5,450. This was only made possible by Club members who gave up their time, donated items, or supported fundraising events. Without doubt the monies will help make a difference to this very important local Charity.
Jan would like to thank everyone for their support and commitment to her and CHYP during 2023.
Andy Johnson, Chair of Trustees, CHYP commented “We can’t believe how much Minchinhampton Golf Club Ladies managed to raise and more than that, how much you were able to add with all the other areas you and your team got involved with. This has been a wonderful example of how to work with a charity. Truly exceptional.”

I started playing Open Mics in Cirencester when I retired, first at the Nelson (RIP) in Gloucester Street and the old Vaults on Beeches Road. The musical talent in and around this town is amazing and I’ve been helped and encouraged by many great players on the local scene. So it’s nice to give a little bit back to the town and to the young people who are helped by CHYP. Eleven original songs. It’s basically acoustic guitar and voice, more or less in the folk tradition, some serious and some less so, a couple of movers, a couple in Russian(!), one about Dmitri Shostakovich (with orchestra) and a song inspired by being in the Dog House at Corinium Breweries. Includes a booklet of the lyrics (and translations). Recorded and produced in South Cerney and mastered in Cirencester, featuring local musicians Dan Billing on bass, Richard Lloyd on keyboard piano, Clive Perkins on harmonica and Steve Rogerson on drums‘ .

Running the Virtual London Marathon For CHYP

Running the Virgin Virtual London Marathon for CHYP

How Far would you go to help young local homeless people

Four people ran the 26.2 miles of the 2021 Virtual London Marathon for Local Youth Homeless Charity CHYP – Cirencester Housing for Young People, on the Sunday the 3rd October.
Two runners in the UK, two running in the city of Bathurst in NSW Australia. We were based in Cirencesters, Bathurst Park to support them all.
Our UK runners are Dominick Curnock, who works for and is being sponsored by Bluestone Insurance and Kit Bennett who runs as part of the South Cerney Stragglers running group.
Our Ozzie runners, Jenn Arnold & Stephen Jackson from Australia’s Bathurst friendship Initiative decided that the only iconic option to compare to The Bathurst Estate was to complete seven laps of Mount Panorama. (please see local TV interview attached)
The Beano coffee van on the Bathurst Estate sold Fish River Roasters coffee on the day, a nod to Bathurst City AU. And at 8.30 with the Australians just finishing their epic Marathon so our gallant UK runs began, set on their way by Lord Bathurst. The straggles were out in force as support runners. Along with friends and family supporters.
Lord Bathurst said ‘’ I was very pleased to hear our Friends in Bathurst Australia are participating in the same race alongside our runners here in Cirencester Park, it’s an excellent example of the Cirencester and the City of Bathurst Friendship Initiative coming to life and in supporting Cirencester Housing for Young People’’
