  Very excited about the upcoming Ash Vale Treasure Hunt on Saturday 14th April. It is helping to raise money for volunteers from St Mary's Church, Ash Vale to go over and work with the local communities in Uganda in August.
  
  It starts between 11am and 12noon at The Chapel, Wharf Road, Ash Vale, GU12 5BA and ends at a local pub. £3 entry per person, under 11's free, teams of up to 8 people. A little treasure for everyone and a prize for the winning team.
  
  Should be a fun day out whatever your age.
