STOP PRESS!

Target of £50,000 reached!

We heard today that South Cambridgeshire District Council
are awarding us a grant of £18,000 – we have therefore
now met our target - hooray!

This is where the donations for our new playground are coming from:

• Donations from consultation: £120
• TRIC stall at Daffodil weekend: £320
• Rent from Thriplow Farms allotments: £200
• KWS donation: £10,000
• GSK “Making a difference scheme": £500
• Funding from the Parish Council: £10,000
• Daffodil weekend funding: £5,000
• AmeyCespa: £13,500
• South Cambridgeshire District Council: £18,000

Total: £57,640

As you can see, since our last newsletter we have heard that we are receiving £5,000
from Daffodil weekend and £13,500 from the AmeyCespa community fund. Today’s good
news that £18,000 is coming from South Cambridgeshire District Council is the icing on
the cake!

We have also applied for another grant from the Awards for All lottery fund and should
hear in the New Year if we have been successful.

We can now start finalising the designs for the playground and we hope that work will
commence in the Spring, so the new Thriplow Playground should be open for play by early
Summer 2012.

It’s been a good day for TRIC and we just wanted to share our excitement with you!
