Newbury Corn Exchange staff will tackle 5k inflatable obstacle course to raise funds for Old Library campaign

Eight of our plucky friends from the Corn Exchange are in training before taking on a 5k inflatable challenge to raise funds for the Old Library Campaign and they’d love your support.

On Saturday, September 28, a team of staffers will be taking part in the obstacle course at Newbury Racecourse: Amy Brown, Eden Harrhy, Emily Ayling, Eleanor Davis, Hannah Wright, Sarah Franks, Hannah Elder and Eliza Young.

They will tackle 32 gigantic obstacles over the 5K course, with five pumping music zones to motivate them on their journey around.

Supporters are welcome to attend the event to cheer on participants and keep their motivation high to complete the challenge.

All of them are raising funds via Just Giving fundraising pages for the Corn Exchange Newbury’s Old Library Campaign to open a new arts hub in Newbury.

The Old Library is the new space for the Corn Exchange’s creative participation work and once complete will have dedicated engagement spaces, a small café bar and places to gather – so more local people will can experience the positivity that participation in creative activity can have.

You can show your support for them by donating what you can via this link https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/oldlibrary

The appeal target is £2.6m and last month the public part of the fundraising campaign passed the first £100,000 milestone newburytoday.co.uk/lifestyle/corn-exchange-s-old-library-public-fundraising-campaign-hits-9372943/ as reported by @newburytoday
