I'm sorry it's been a while, I started my GCSEs this week and revision has been very time-consuming and overwhelming. I've already had a few and they were really hard - I hope I did okay!
In the meantime, it's been the most amazing week for our fundraising! Last weekend, my grandparents' friends opened their garden to the public. It's absolutely beautiful there and goes on forever; it even has it's own river. They had an amazing turnout, with countless people making donations and it raised over £1000. Thank you so much to Hugh and Margaret for all your time and effort.
The other big event this week was this afternoon's football match and fun day. This was arranged by the amazing Gary Hanson and was one of the best events yet. We had stalls, food, music, bouncy castles and, of course, football! Luckily, the weather was on our side as not much of the entertainment was indoors. That being said, we did have the wonderful Tom Dulieu playing his brilliant music. I spent a while in there listening to him and he was really good. My family was running a stall with (more) slime, a raffle and some lovely jewellery made by my neighbours. We made lots of sales, raising lots more money for my surgery. The football was really good too, with a few famous faces in the mix including a few of women who used to play for the Spurs Ladies team! Sawbo FC won in the end and they definitely deserved it. During half time we had entertainment from Theatretrain, featuring songs from some of the students including myself. It was very nerve-wracking, but also a lot of fun! Overall we raised about £3000 which is absolutely phenomenal.
Overall it was my favourite event so far, and a real coming together of the community: Scouts, Brownies and friends all chipped in. I can't wait fot the next event, but for now, it's back to my exams.
