We will also continue our working relationships with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondschool.net\/\">Richmond School<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/spouseforce\/\">Spouse Force<\/a> at Catterick Garrison. Our full programme for the year and list of officers is now available on the website under the &#8216;About our Club&#8217; heading.<\/p>\n<h3>Sharing our Skills Students<\/h3>\n<p>We are delighted to congratulate our two recent Sharing our Skills students for the success of their project.\u00a0 They held their &#8216;Walk to Support&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhelp.org.uk\/\">Family Help Darlington<\/a> raised both awareness of this charity in the school and the town, and raised funds for their work.<\/p>\n<h3>Coffee Morning<\/h3>\n<p>On Thursday 25th April we held one of our Coffee Mornings at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondtowncouncil.org.uk\/\">Town Hall<\/a> in Richmond to raised funds for our charity work.\u00a0 Between serving refreshments, a raffle, tombola and stalls we made a total profit of \u00a3197:80.\u00a0 This goes into the &#8220;charity pot&#8221; for our new year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the update on our activities during April, which featured our AGM.
