Our main source of income and fund raising other than that generated by the social evenings is our PARTY IN THE PARK. A day of events, stalls, and rides. Starting some 3 years ago it has grown from strength to strength so much so that at the wishes of residents we were this year able to nominate a local charity namely. The Doncaster based. AURORA Centre Charity Support Group. Representatives of which were presented, at our October meeting by TARA member Jean Brown, with a cheque for £500.

The annual Party has seen the added advantage of the involvement of other community Groups and Tara's in the Borough we have received invaluable help from both. Intake community and Warmsworth Gala Committee Members.
