This year’s Uptonogood? takes place on Saturday 17th June and will be the 10th occasion we’ve held
the event! Conceived to raise money for the village hall extension the event began in 2010.
Since then the event has helped fund many village facilities including:
Village Hall Extension
Village Hall Kitchen
Village Hall PA system
New Adventure Play Area
Pump Track
Ride on Mower
Marquees
Nature Garden
Friends of St. Mary’s
In all, £76K has been distributed to local projects and groups. Full details of
these can be found at www.uptonogood.org.uk/fundraising/. We are very
proud of this record but are acutely aware that it is only made possible by
the support of Upton village residents.
We need around 60 volunteers to fill the variety of roles needed on the day.
These include marshalling on the routes, pre-riding and sweeping the routes,
staffing registration and finishing line, serving tea and cake, beer and cider,
chilli and burgers! If you think you’re qualified to wear a high-vis and would
like to volunteer please sign up at www.uptonogood.org.uk/volunteer/. In
return we will make a £25 donation to a charity of your choosing. In
addition, you will get tea, a piece of cake, a pint, and a burger (or veggie
chilli) as a thank you for helping the day.
Get Ready, Set, Bake for Uptonogood 2023
The wonderful homemade cakes sold at Uptonogood are always a huge hit
with the people that visit our village.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THIS YEAR BETTER THAN EVER!
We need everything from flapjacks, muffins and scones to cakes and tray
bakes.
You can drop off your cakes to Jacqui at Shearbarn Cottage, Pound Lane,
between 2-5pm on Friday, 16th June or please bring them to the village hall
before 10am on Saturday, 17th June.
Proceeds will be going to the Upton Village Hall to help with much needed
continued upgrades to our toilets and also other maintenance.
Thank you
