We are thrilled that our new Cransley Hospice Coffee Shop is now open serving delicious
cakes and snacks. The Coffee Shop is staffed by a team of willing volunteers and with three
paid members of staff. The majority of cakes on sale are provided by volunteer bakers so all home-made and individual every day. It has a lovely atmosphere in which to sit and enjoy your refreshments whilst browsing the newspapers provided or the books available for a donation. There is an art display each month by local artists with work available for purchase. We hope you can come and visit soon.

On Sunday 2nd September, The Rotary Clubs of the Nene Valley present the Dragon Boat Race
at Wicksteed Park, Kettering. Everyone who has ever been to a Dragon Boat Race will know
how much fun these events are! There are many ways in which you can support and help raise
money for local charities, whether you decide to enter a team in a bid to be the champions
of 2012, become a stall holder or exhibitor at the event or simply enjoy a great day out as a spectator! It is a great day out for people of all ages, and together with the Dragon Boat Racing, there will be live music, food and drink, children’s funfair, stalls and much more - we are sure you won’t be disappointed. Crew members consist of 10 rowers and one drummer making it a great team-building event for your company. For more information visit www.nenevalleydragons.org.uk.

We are also looking for entrants for the 12th annual Cransley Hospice Road Race which takes place on Sunday 16th September. In a survey we undertook in 2011, we found that many entrants were entering for the fi rst time as part of a weight loss or fi tness regime programme. We hope that you might consider entering the Road Race - the 10k maybe - to support Cransley Hospice if you or some one you know has recently undertaken such a programme. We are also looking for marshals for the day if entering the Road Race itself is not something you are able to consider. Please do let us know if you would like to join in on the day and are able to help in this way and take a look at our website for more details at www.cransleyhospice.org.uk

With thanks as always for your support.
