Celebrating the centenary of the completion of the first Gannochy homes, Gannochy kids are challenged to complete five weeks of Summer Challenges.
Take part as an individual or in a team – it’s up to you. There is a bag of goodies for the winning entry each week, along with a donation of £50 to a charity of your choice.
To take part, you just need to print the Challenge Instructions from this web page or register your address to receive a weekly Challenge Pack or pick them up from the Gannochy Trust office.
To register, text your address to 07545 164359 with a note saying ‘Summer Challenge’.
Challenges, last week’s answers, and winners are announced weekly on the links below for each of the Challenge Weeks along with the name of the Charity nominated to receive their donation.
Find the ten golden discs that are placed in windows in the Gannochy community. They will be in windows that you can see from the pavement. Collect the letters and work out what the word is that the letters spell.
Deliver your completed Challenge Sheet to 10 Gannochy Avenue by 5pm on Monday 15th July.
Golden Discs will remain on display until 28th July so that those on holiday can take part outside of the competition.
WEEK 1 ENTRIES & WINNERS
Collect a record of your week in whatever format you like, provided it fits into a sandwich box. The winning entry will be buried in a time capsule in the Curly to be dug up in another 100 years!
WEEK 2 ENTRIES & WINNERS
Use your Gannochy Walking Bingo Card to record where you find the answers to a set of challenges of things to find – you will find all the answers around the streets of Gannochy.
WEEK 3 ENTRIES AND WINNERS
This week it’s a quiz about your local community. Once you receive your quiz questions, get investigating and record your answers. You may already know some of the answers and others might need some research.
