Sales and Events 2010
NOVEMBER 2010 - "Christmas Sale" and stalls
GREYFRIARS ACTIVITIES CENTRE, RINGWOOD
Our most successful sale to date enabled us to have two beneficiaries! Our first was the fabulous charity "Coping With Chaos" who received a donation towards their charitable work with disabled children and family support programs. The other beneficary was to the "Red Ranger Fund" as we were humbled by the inspiring efforts made by a local family to support their nephew who has an inoperable brain tumour.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 20 WINNERS OF OUR TEDS RAFFLE - YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE RED RANGER FUND IS GREATLY APPRECIATED BY THE FAMILY
THE MAYOR AND THE CHRISTMAS BEAR

THURSDAY 26 AUGUST - POULNER JUNIOR SCHOOL
A cloudy day didn't stop the fun at the Pathways Childrens Centre Official Open Day held at Poulner Junior School Hall. There were plenty of activities to keep the children amused as well as a magic show and drama workshop.
We were all enthralled with the animals that were bought along and enjoyed handling the guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, pigs and chickens amognst others!
Well done to Karin Hale and her team for organising such a good day! See their program of events and play sessions at: www3.hants.gov.uk/childrens-services/pathways-cc
SATURDAY 24TH JULY - TEDS SALE DAY - SALISBURY UNITED REFORM CHURCH
Liz and Dana outside the United Reform Church in Fisherton Street, Salisbury with the TEDS sign - We were delighted to offer toys to the value of approximately £100 to the WILTON AND BARFORD DAY NURSERY for their fundraising sales for their playgroup.
SATURDAY 3RD JULY - WILTON CARNIVAL
TEDS joined in with the procession through the streets of Wilton and then joined the festivities on the playing field afterwards. There was a fantastic samba band, ticklish allsorts magic show, bouncy castle and stalls plus bar-be-que, cream teas, beer tent and live broadcast by Spire FM throughout the afternoon.
Our TEDS bear was in fine form dressed in her fairy recycling costume and was much loved by the children who came to say hello and give her a hug! It was a great day and thank you and well done Gary and Susi for all your hard work organising the event.
SUNDAY 27TH JUNE - TEDDY BEARS PICNIC, BEAULIEU
In it's third year, this event takes over the village of Beaulieu with stalls, games, tombola, teddy bears of all shapes and sizes and everything connected with them - from teddy bear chairs to teddy bear clothes, you name it and, if it had a bear on it, they had it!
TEDS attended with our mascot and enjoyed the hot sunshine and set up our information table under the shade of a tree in the playing field, where we could listen to the swinging band
and watch the entertainment.
This event was in aid of the HONEYPOT charity that offers breaks to children at their centre in the New Forest. These children are young carers of either a sibling or even a parent, so for them it's fantastic that they get the chance to play outside with kids their own age who are in a similar situation. Look at the work honeypot do on their websitewww.honeypot.co.uk
SATURDAY 26TH JUNE - TEDS TOY SALE, RINGWOOD
Another super sale in a larger hall, giving us more room to display our huge array of childrens toys, books, baby items and bits of equipment, buggies and rails of clothing from newborn to teenage. Well done to all or you that ventured out on such a hot day, we trust you found lots of bargain goods for your little ones!
SATURDAY 29TH MAY - TEDS TOY SALE, SALISBURY
We had our first sale in Salisbury at the central location of the United Reform Church in Fisherton Street. The Deputy Mayor of Salisbury, Councillor John Abbott kindly attended with his wife to see what we do and how we are aiming to support local causes within this community.

SUNDAY 25TH APRIL - ST GEORGES DAY EVENT
The event began with a procession around the square and the official start of festivities performed by the Mayor of Salisbury, followed by St George fighting the fearsome dragon!
There were lots of street entertainers, stilt walkers, musicians and jesters to keep everyone amused, plus many varied stalls, food outlets and children's fairground rides and games. One of our teddies is sat in the drivers seat of our "tedsmobile" watching the knights battles in the square!
We had an information table for you to come and talk to us, which many of you did, giving us suggestions for sale venues in your area and arranging for us to collect all your unwanted, outgrown maternity, children and baby items cluttering up your loft/garage/wardrobe/spare room!
SATURDAY 10TH APRIL - CHILDS PLAY EVENT - SALISBURY CITY HALL
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO VISITED OUR STAND AT THE SALISBURY EVENT We would like to thank all the children who kindly gave our TEDS mascot bear such lovely hugs, waves and kisses. He was very happy to be cuddled, having his nose tweaked and enjoyed dancing with you too!
