Christmas Party - December 2024
We held our Christmas Party at Ascot United Football Club again this year. Santa and Blue arrived in their sleigh to deliver presents to our participants with help from the elves. There were lots of Christmas jumpers on show, lovely food and raffle prizes for everyone. Very well done to Maria who was presented with the Endeavour Cup. Congratulations to all the volunteers who received long service certificates and especially to both the Sarahs who were given the special RDA 'Over and Above' award.
Royal Ascot Golf Club - November 2024
We were so pleased to be chosen by the Captains at Royal Ascot Golf Club as one of the two local RDA groups as their charity for the year, especially in our 50th Anniversary year. Huge thanks to the Captains and everyone at Royal Ascot Golf Club for their hard work and amazing generosity.
Home Park Picnic - August 2024
We had a picnic lunch at The Royal Household Cricket Club, Windsor Castle - thanks so much to them for hosting us. We had cakes to celebrate Daniel and Trish's birthdays!
Home Park - August 2024
We had a great day on our annual visit to Windsor Home Park. The sun shone and we had some lovely drives around the grounds. Thanks to all our volunteers who worked really hard.
Ascot Afternoon Tea - July 2024
It's the Group's 50th anniversary and we celebrated in style at the On5 Restaurant at Ascot Racecourse. We had a delicious afternoon tea and the Ascot 'Bowler Hats' took us on a tour of the grandstand and around. Sarah D made the fabulous table decorations and Sarah C made 'Golden Horseshoe' gifts for all the participants and Brigid, our President. Everyone dressed up for the occasion - we hardly recognised each other! Thanks so much to Ascot Racecourse for hosting us and giving us such a great afternoon.
Major - March 2024
It is with great sadness that we bring you the news of the passing of our lovely retired driving pony Major at the grand old age of 29. He was a wonderful pony who helped so many people learn to drive. He retired four years ago to The Horse Trust where he loved nothing more than being out in the field lounging around.
