Santa Run 2025
A huge thank you to everyone who took part in last December’s Santa Run. They collected £700 between them which has been donated back to the CYO funds. This is a huge increase on 2024’s collection. Well done everyone – especially Louise for organising us.
Exciting Fundraising News!
We have recently been accepted as a participant in the Tesco
Stronger Starts fundraising opportunity for July/August/September.
​
If your family, friends, or relatives shop at Tesco, please ask them to choose CYO as their chosen charity and help us generate valuable funds to repair some of our instruments. It costs you nothing but will help us enormously.

Rotary Swimathon
Saturday 21st March – 4pm Congleton Leisure Centre.
​
We have already had four sign up for this event, so thank you to them. We need another 12 swimmers to fill up the two lanes we have booked, so please join in if you can. It is NOT a race, you can swim as many lengths as you are able. Only one swimmer swims at a time so plenty of time to take a rest. Sponsorship forms available from Helen Chappel if you haven’t already downloaded one. Are you a “Crotchet” or a “Quaver” – pick your team. We have 3 Crotchets and 1 Quaver at the moment !
Orchestral Reps
Your two new reps this year are Lili Cooper and Beth Roberts so if you have any music issues, speak to them and they will pass on your comments to the M.D.
