FUNDING OF THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS ASSOCIATION CUP RACE
February 22nd, 2012 | No Comments
As all Coldstreamers know, the annual Coldstream Guards Association Cup Race is held during the October race meeting at York Racecourse. The original funding for the race’s prize-stake is no longer available and thus it has fallen to the Association to fund the race if it is to continue in its present form. As you will be aware, the York Races are a great day out for Association Members and they benefit from private bar facilities on the day. Not only that, the races provide an opportunity for the regiment to promote itself amongst the wider community, with the Regimental Recruiting Team in attendance and, when available, the regimental band.
Branches are unable to make corporate donations to the fund due to their charitable status, however, if any individual would like to make a personal donation towards the race stake fund, they can send a cheque made payable to:
COLDSTREAM GUARDS ASSOCIATION RACE STAKE FUND (or just CGA if you prefer)
And then send it to:
Brigadier RJS Wardle OBE DL
Bellwood Hall
Littlehope
Near Ripon
North Yorkshire
HG4 3AA
If anybody would like to make an anonymous donation through BACS then please contact the York Branch via this site and we will supply you with the details.
If any business would like to sponsor the race, then please contact either Brigadier Wardle direct or pass a message through the York Branch via this site.
