SPEND! SPEND! SPEND!
There's nothing Friends of WG like doing more than spending money - and this June we had an amazing £6,830 in the kitty - that's over DOUBLE what we raised last year!!!!
So it was out with our chequebook for the biggest spending spree we've ever had!!
First, we gave £3,000 to the gym refurb programme (money raised from our recent Auction of Promises). Then we gave £300 to the Boarding and Arts Club for materials, £300 towards an athletics discus cage, £380 towards a CD player and £2,000 towards stage equipment for the school theatre. We've been able to increase the amount we give to our Friends Awards candidates - a total of £850 this year.
Wow!!! We are amazed at your generosity this year!!!
We work hard to organise events... you come along and enjoy them, hopefully raising a bit of money in the process (or a MASSIVE AMOUNT in this year's case)... we donate it to groups like those above... and your kids benefit! A brilliant combination! Read more here>>

'Call My Bluff' Wine Evening - a great evening!
Thank you to everyone that supported our Wine Evening which was a massive success and great fun. The staff seemed particularly skilled at accurately identifying the wines and walked off with a number of prizes...
Thanks to Premier Cru of Guiseley for providing some fantastic wines and to the Stansfield Arms, Apperley Bridge, for preparing tasty lasagnes. Also a huge thanks to Phoebe and Alex for giving up their Saturday evening and for calling our bluff with some extremely convincing wine descriptions!
Auction of Goods and Promises - an incredible evening!
You would not believe the amount of money we raised at our Auction! An incredible £3,000!! Considering that last year we raised £3540 in total... from ALL our events... raising such a colossal sum from just one event is truly awesome!!!!
Thanks to everyone that took the time to come along - and also to those that were unable to attend but sent in postal bids. A huge thanks, too, to all those parents and associates that donated promises.
Every penny raised goes towards enhancing your children's experience of life at Woodhouse Grove, enabling them to do all kinds of activities that wouldn't be possible without the money we donate from our events.
PS. On top of the £3,000 raised, our 6th formers raised an additional £230 which went direct to Cancer Research.
Thanks again - and we look forward to seeing you at our Wine Evening (below).
