Coniston Challenge Day

Oak By Design recently sponsored a team at The Coniston Hotel, Coniston Cold, Skipton in aid of the Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice.

The Coniston Hotel hosts the Coniston Challenge Day annually, and the events include: Clay Pigeon Shooting, Land Rover Driving, Archery and Target Golf amongst others.

For the second year, at the event, Jamie (and his Oak By Design team) was hoping to regain the Clay Pigeon Shooting title from last year when they won.

Jamie’s invited guests this year were: Christopher and William Newton from Newtons Solicitors and Richard Smailes from FSS estate agents.

Jamie said that it had been another fantastic day, filled with lovely people who were there to enjoy themselves and to raise as much money as possible for such a worthwhile charity.

Although the team didn’t win this year, they came a respectable third out of 27. He will be there next year to enjoy another day, and hopefully come back in first place!

Harriet Wood, Senior Community Fundraiser at Sue Ryder said:

“On behalf of everyone here at Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice, and members of the Challenge Committee, we would like to extend a very big thank you for taking a team at this year’s Coniston Challenge Day! Despite a showery start, we were blessed with great weather throughout and I sincerely hope you enjoyed the day.” 

“Furthermore, I am absolutely delighted to announce that the event raised a huge total of £52,025.”

“This crucial funding will help us to be there for more patients and families across our local communities when it matters most – enabling them to spend their remaining days surrounded by love.

We simply couldn’t do this without your help, so once again, thank you for helping to make this event the huge success it continues to be”.
