TiCCLe T Party at Doodlebugs Nursery

Saturday 17th July saw a “TiCCLe” T Party being held in Doodlebugs Nursery in Aberuthven.       From 10:30 till 12:00 parents and children had the opportunity to participate in a small and large raffle, have their nails painted (well the females anyway) enjoy home baking or strawberries and cream, as well as a scented candle stall.

The children also had the opportunity to use the outdoor play area as well as a bouncy castle.

Kinneff Reelers & Friends Annual Charity Walk 2010

Kinneff Reelers & Friends Annual Charity Walk 2010.   This walk was a round trip walk from/to Edzell Muir via Hill of Corathro in lower Glen Esk, a distance of around 10 miles.

This year the funds raised have been donated to two charities – Bliss and Tayside Children with Cancer and Leukaemia (TCCL).

The walk – the weather gods smiled upon them, again, and the 30 of walkers had a dry day with some great views (24 hrs earlier would have been a whole lot different!). The walk route was probably a surprise for a few, with it being so close to home but having a lot of contrasting terrain.

St Andrews Oktoberfest 2010

On Wednesday 26^thMay, members of the St Andrews University Oktoberfest Committee came to the TCCL committee meeting to present them with a cheque for £11,000. The St Andrews Oktoberfest is an annual event held during March and 2010 saw it reach its 4^thyear.

The Oktoberfest committee always look to give the proceeds to Charity and this year they were looking for a local charity in order to support and towards the end of 2009, Max Dubiel who chairs the Oktoberfest committee, contacted TCCL to see if we would be interested.

Students raise cash for TCCL

Beer was flowing as St Andrews University hosted its fourth Oktoberfest for Charity.

Some 1200 students from the town and all over europe flocked to Kinkell Byre for the bavarian-themed gathering, inspired by the 200-year-old Munich Oktoberfest.

The event was organised by a group of German students and raised money for Tayside Chilren with Cancer and Leukaemia.

Staff in the University of Abertay Dundee’s accommodation office have raised almost £1400 for Tayside Children with Cancer and Leukaemia (TCCL).

The team took part in and organised various fundraising activities throughout the last academic year including cake and book sales, and taking part in the London Marathon. 

The fundraising was a family affair with ten year old Niamh Quinn, whose mother Hilary is the Accommodation Officer at the University, raising money by knitting scarves for her classmates.
