Bake Sale

Yesterday The Abbey School (Josie and Alice's old school) allowed us to hold a bake sale at their annual Sports Day.  After a morning of preparation, collecting of doughnuts and baking we made our way to the sports ground where it was being held and set up our stall.

We are delighted to announce that we raised £200 for the Mark Evison Foundation throughout the day, which is a fantastic amount of money for a very worthwhile cause (http://www.markevisonfoundation.org/).  All the cakes and doughnuts went down extremely well, and not just with those of use who were selling them!

For Alice and Josie it was also lovely to be back at their old school, and particularly at an event such as Sports Day where they could once again cheer on their old houses and watch the infamous teacher's race with some familiar faces!

A huge thanks much be given to the staff at The Abbey for allowing us to hold a fundraiser and making us feel so welcome, as well as including us in the programme which explained how and what we were doing.  A further thanks needs to be given to the staff at the Palmer Park who were also very welcoming and helped us set up.

Another outdoor training session may be occurring this afternoon weather permitting.... If it does go ahead Izzy will be introduced to the lake!
