Corn Exchange Staff to take on Newbury's Inflatable 5K to raise funds for the Old Library Campaign

The exterior of the Old Library, Cheap Street, Newbury

On Saturday 28 September, eight members of our team will be taking part in Newbury’s Inflatable 5k obstacle course at Newbury Racecourse.  

Taking on the challenge is 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 distance course. Combined 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 our Old Library Campaign to open a new arts hub in Newbury. The Old Library is the perfect new space for our creative participation work and once complete will have dedicated engagement spaces, a small Café Bar and places to gather – benefiting more and more local people with the positive impact 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

We hope you will join us in wishing them luck with their training and completing this challenge.
