Fundraising hunt for motorists

They came in their hatchbacks, 4x4s and their estates to raisecash for the Three Cs Harvest Home this coming September.

The community group organised a car treasure hunt on the weekendalong the lanes and roads of the three villages that constitute theeponymous Three Cs: Cocklake, Crickham and Clewer.

Starting and finishing at Yew Tree Farm, Crickham, the motoristsset off on a hunt following clues hidden in trees, gardens andcrevices in wall.

"We had so many people turn up with a raffle, drinks and foodavailable for everyone," said organiser Shirley Lukins. "It waslovely weather and we were very pleased as we raised around Pounds180 for the harvest home."

The main aim of these smaller events is to help subsidise theharvest home held in a marquee at Yew Tree Farm on Friday, September2. Shirley said that everyone in the three communities gets a chanceto buy a ticket first, with the others being sold later in thesummer.

"Harvest homes bring communities together," said Shirley.
