As in previous years, the Odenwald Association members ran a bottle stall at Airth Highland Games on 22 July 2017.
Over weeks, donations of bottles were received and stored, waiting to be ticketed for the big day. Manned by members and despite the rain, our Bottle Stall made £345.20, a very respectable amount and a good boost for our funds.
Thanks are due to everyone who donated bottles, collected them and ferried them for ticketing.
A great deal of work and time commitment goes into the preparation for the day and thanks go to all involved with folding the tickets for sale and ticketing all the bottles beforehand.
Special thanks to all who arrived early on the day with tables, bunting and various items and equipment for decorating the stall to produce a stall festooned in flags, providing a splash of colour on a grey day.
Thank you to all of you who came along on the day and bought tickets. For those who didn’t win a bottle, there was a sweet treat to make them leave with a smile. It was a pleasant surprise for some of our members to meet visitors to the Games from the Odenwald and to have a chat in German about our twinning.
Once again, as well as the bottle stall, members volunteered to man the entrance gates, providing support for Airth Games Committee and maintaining the links between the Associations. By all accounts, a good day was had by all.
