Handicraft Club
The Handicraft Club times have changed from 2012. We will still start at 10am on Tuesdays and Fridays but we now finish at 1pm.

Sponsored Walk - Isle of Wight 2012
Starting on Monday 20 February 2012, Geoff Evans, David Judd & Daniel Singleton are going to walk the Isle of Wight coastal path to raise money for RAB. The walk is 65 miles long and will take 5 days to complete.

Starting and finishing at Ryde and walking in a clockwise direction the group will walk approx 12 miles per day. All sponsorship monies will go directly to RAB as all other expenses are being paid for by the walkers.

Anyone who therefore wishes to donate can click on either of the links on the left hand side of this page or you can sponsor the individuals themselves via a sponsorship form (coming soon). If you are also interested in reading the Blog of the walkers training, preparation and how much has been raised so far you can follow them at

We hope that you will show them your support and wish them the best of luck!!!

We’ve won the Cup again!
We are the Champions for the 2nd year running!! The RAB garden has won the gold award for the Reading in Bloom small garden category hands down. Huge, huge thanks to Mick Paige, Janet Hayward and the team of volunteers who tend to the garden all year round to make it Number 1 not only in our eyes but also to the competition judges. See Pics of the garden in full bloom in our photo gallery and you will plainly see why it is the business!
