A New Look Addington goes on Tour!

The sun shone for the Addington breakfast at the Game Fair
After a very busy start to the show season in the South West, the Addington Team have just come back from another fantastic Game Fair at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. Strutt and Parker once again hosted the charity on their stand which included a breakfast reception after the event’s Sunday morning service.
The Game Fair attracted an audience of 148,500 and it seems most of them attended the Friday evening drinks reception on the Strutt and Parker stand. Champagne was flowing and it gave us a great opportunity to discuss Addington’s work with the many farmers and landowners attending.
The next stop is Nantwich Show in Cheshire tomorrow to launch the new partnership between Cheshire Rural Trust and Addington. More details about the recent merge are posted in the latest news section of our website.
We are looking forward to catching up with some paperwork in August and getting ready for some major events in the farming calendar in September. We have just been told by RABDF that we will be the chosen charity for an exit collection at the Dairy Event and Livestock Show which is fantastic news. Expect to see all of us here at Addington shaking a bucket to raise money for our new work/live affordable housing project in Cornwall.
Straight after the Dairy Event and Livestock Show we are off up north to Westmorland Show – if you are visiting please pop in for a coffee and bacon butty in the Killington Marquee’s stand. We are hoping for a drier Bucks County Show than in 2010, and will be teaming up with Strutt and Parker once again to offer breakfast or a respite from the rain!!
You may have noticed some changes on our website and branding which is being gradually introduced. We have designed new leaflets, promotional banners and stationary which has been tailored specifically for us by our friends at Ware Anthony Rust. Hopefully you will agree that our new image reflects the professional way in which we (try to) approach our work supporting Britain’s farming families.
Finally, we have gone all out online! You will now find us regularly updating our Facebook and Twitter pages – follow us by using the links and find out what we are up to and where you will meet us across the UK.
