Mark your calendar for our<br />

next Community Fun Day<br />

6 th<br />

July 2024<br />

Warrington & Vale Royal College<br />

was absolutely delighted<br />

with the success of its highly<br />

anticipated Community Fun<br />

Day this year, which attracted<br />

hundreds of visitors to our<br />

vibrant Warrington campus.<br />

<strong>The</strong> next event promises to be<br />

even bigger and better, with a<br />

confirmed date for your diary of<br />

Saturday 6th July 2024.<br />

<strong>The</strong> college spared no effort in<br />

organising a spectacular event,<br />

which was sponsored by local<br />

company Equans and from which<br />

all proceeds were donated to St<br />

Rocco’s Hospice. We were joined<br />

by over twenty exhibitors from<br />

highly esteemed organisations such<br />

as the Royal Air Force, the Royal<br />

Navy, Cheshire Police, Cheshire<br />

Fire and Rescue, Kinaxia Logistics,<br />

Cheshire Mix 56, Costco and even<br />

an appearance from Princess Elsa!<br />

Also adding to the festivity was<br />

Warrington Wolves’ lovable<br />

mascot Wolfie, who was a cheeky<br />

presence charming visitors and<br />

posing for photos. Amidst the<br />

excitement, guests enjoyed a range<br />

of edible treats including burgers,<br />

hot dogs, ice cream, cakes and a<br />

delightful afternoon tea in our own<br />

Buckley’s Restaurant.<br />

Visitors also participated in a<br />

variety of stalls and games; such<br />

a diverse range of entertainment<br />

ensured there was something for<br />

everyone to enjoy.<br />

A particular event highlight<br />

was the incredibly popular dog<br />

show. A parade of furry friends<br />

showcased their talent and the<br />

competition was fierce! After much<br />

deliberation, the coveted “Best in<br />

Show” was awarded to Nevis the<br />

Labrador Retriever, aged 11 from<br />

Middlewich, who outshone with his<br />

undeniable charm and skill. Nevis<br />

and his owner, Julie, were proud<br />

winners of a large hamper full<br />

of goodies, donated by local pet<br />

shop Jollyes. <strong>The</strong> judging panel,<br />

made up of college Principal and<br />

CEO Nichola Newton and Steph<br />

Davies from the RSPCA, along<br />

with the large crowd of spectators,<br />

were incredibly impressed with the<br />

displays of talent and very much<br />

look forward to welcoming the<br />

cheeky canines back to campus at<br />

next year’s competition.<br />

We would like to thank everybody<br />

who came along and made the<br />

event such a huge success – we<br />

hope to see you all again next year!<br />
