In the Community / Case Studies

  West Berkshire Spokes - June 2008
West Berkshire cyclists held their annual bike bash at the Racecourse to celebrate the start of National Bike Week. West Berkshire Spokes organised the bike bash and held its AGM at the Racecourse. Newbury MP, Richard Benyon, who cycled 350 miles around the Normandy battlefields to raise money for wounded servicemen returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, gave a talk on his charity cycle ride.
   
  Phoenix Centre - May 2008
The ground staff were grateful for some additional help when members of the Phoenix Centre helped prepare flower beds and spruce up the parade ring ahead of racing. The opportunity for these volunteers, who all have learning disabilities, to put their gardening skills to practical use in a working environment at the Racecourse was welcomed by everyone.
   
  Readibus - April 2008
Passengers of West Berkshire’s Readibus service enjoyed a scheduled stop at the Racecourse after being invited to a day at the races. The group were treated to afternoon tea and for many it was their first visit to the Racecourse – despite being life-long Newbury residents. Readibus operates a fleet of 20 buses in the West Berkshire area - providing around 10,000 journeys each month for elderly and disabled people.
   
  Dingley Family Play & Therapy Group - April 2008
The charity raised over £11,000 by dancing their socks off to the best of 80s music at a fund-raising disco at the Racecourse. The Newbury branch of the charity – which is based at Newbury Racecourse and supports children with additional needs and disabilities - celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2008. Shoulder pads, Adam Ant make-up and large hair styles took the floor to raise money for a great cause.
   
  Willows Primary School - January 2008
Children from the school in Greenham, Newbury concluded their design & technology week with a head-turning display of work at the Racecourse. The children had spent the week designing and making hobby horses, tabards and head-dresses out of recyclable materials and were then invited by the Racecourse to show off their work in the parade ring ahead of a race meeting.
