The 2010 Summer Barbeque

This years BBQ was another great success, thanks to the incredibly hard work of the Parents Committee. Over 170 tickets were sold and despite the howling winds and threat of rain early on, everyone enjoyed the food, stalls and bouncy castles etc, and were rewarded by the sun coming out for the remainder of the afternoon.

The face painting and tattoo stalls were very popular, but the main draw seemed to be the ‘Hong Kong Phooey stocks’ where wet sponges were thrown at friends, family and even our instructors (the longest queue forming to soak Sean Doyland, Chief Instructor! See photo)

The BBQ raised a fantastic £100 for the Little Havens’ Children Hospice and approximately £400 for the Parents Committee to add to their fund to purchase new equipment etc for the Centre, possibly training mirrors, an announcement will be made as soon as a decision has been reached.

Thank you for all of your donations of raffle/tombola prizes and for supporting your club by attending the event!

The Committee are always looking for new members/helpers so anyone interested please leave your name with reception or contact one of the Committee directly.

More photos of this event are on the Parents Committee board in the parents seating area.
