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 />
