Charities

On Saturday, members of Exeter Enterprise met at Countess Wear School Exeter to assist with its Summer Fete. Our chosen stand was “Pick a Nail” and for a charge of 50p you picked a nail and depending on its colour, chose a prize from either a blue or red box. If you were lucky enough to pick the Gold Nail, then you received a choice of very special prizes.

Overall the day was a great success and the club raised approximately £50.00 towards the plaques for the school benches in its forest garden. We thank everyone who took part and made this event so enjoyable and fun.
