Country Challenge aims high for Dorset’s disability charity
A country challenge including archery, fly-fishing and clay pigeon shooting aims to raise a high target in aid of charity.
Returning for its fifth year, Country Challenge is a fundraiser in aid of Dorset’s disability charity, Diverse Abilities. It will be held at Purbeck Shooting School near Wareham on Friday 21 June.
Get a team of four together and join a tournament that involves five different activities.
Mariana Swain, events executive at Diverse Abilities, said: “This is a great team building activity. Over the last few years, everyone has learnt new skills and had a great laugh along the way. It’s the perfect balance of competitive spirit and fun so there’s no need to have tried any of these activities before.”
Lee Butler, managing director of the event sponsors, Town and Country Communications & IT Solutions, said: “This is a great opportunity to support a local charity who do so much to support children and adults with disabilities in the Dorset area. This is the second year we are supporting the charity, and we are looking forward to getting back to the Purbeck Shooting School for a day of challenges.”
Teams of four can enter from £550, which includes a bacon sandwich and lunch, and each activity will come with expert tuition to maximise chances of winning.
Money raised by the teams will help to provide vital support at the charity including: days out for children attending Diverse Abilities’ schools, much needed equipment at Langside School and activities for adults who attend the charity’s Beehive activity and day centre.
Purbeck Shooting School was established in 1955 and occupies 80 acres of mixed heath land and conifer plantation.
