Fundraising Bag-Pack September 2012

Many of our junior members and several adults took part in our 6th bag-pack fundraiser on the 8th September, with a view to part funding extra competition equipment which we need. Last year's competition at the Bonus Arena left us with with an issue with the floor as we removed our mats. This year we have been asked to place a barrier between the mats and the floor, and this money is going to fund this requirement.
We will also be purchasing two pop up banners to accompany the podium on competition day. This will help promote our Wado UK group with every podium photo taken. These banners will also be used for our Christmas presentation evening for our presentation photos.

This event raised another £446.20 for the Wado UK coffers . This was a little down on previous efforts, but on such a hot weekend I'm sure many people decided not to go shopping and stay outdoors to enjoy the summer weather.

Below are some of those who took part holding the buckets of cash.

 

We would like to thank all those who took part in the event, with the youngsters being:
Joe Rose, Amy Rose, Charlotte Pinder, Ellis Miller, Josh Beaumont, Bethany Holmes, Oliver Dearing, Amy Newton, Mia Cowles, Lauren Foster, Lauren Horner, Thomas Balaam-Reed, Stevie Bell, Madison Bell, Callum Longmuir, Max Hairsine and Ashley Oldershaw.
Adults who helped supervise the kids were:
Allison Munro, Gaynor Dent, Chris Dearing, Steve Balaam-Reed, Mike Hairsine, Joe Munro and Tony Dent.

Thank you also to the parents who delivered and collected their children to the shop, your support is also much appreciated.

For our usual bit of fun, we once again asked everyone to guess how much they thought we might raise on the day, with a prize on offer for the closest guess from a youngster and an adult. Those who guessed and the results are below.
