Park House Charity Run & Fun Day 2014

Park House School and Newbury Runners have organised this family fun day in association with the PHSA (Park House School Association), with sponsorship from local courier company Swift Logistics Group.

Our aim is to bring together the local and wider community for a family event that will include many activities - the chance for children to run 2k and adults 5k or 10k, plus many stalls and activites will be held, including bouncy castles, pony rides, games, face painting and many more.

If you wish to hold a stall at this event, please contact our PHSA via their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/133520556845526/ or email phsa@parkhouseschool.org

Our thanks go to Waitrose Newbury for their support and help with the event along with their donations for the Goody Bags, plus the water stop supplies.
