Just got home after Halloween Party - what a super afternoon! I counted over 40 children from new-born to teenagers - plus tons of grown-ups pretending to be children. The Hall has rarely been that full apart from Panto.
HUGE thanks to the many helpers, the Zombie Response Team and our Judge - a very difficult task with so many well-dressed youngsters and a dozen beautifully-carved pumpkins.
RATS made a great job of making the hall child-safe in the middle of rehearsals - so thanks to them. And thanks to Radio Shropshire for the mention this morning. It was all a bit short notice and children are hard to reach in Half-Term, so that really helped. My "three words" for the week-end were "rounding up children" - that captured a bit of attention!But the real stars were the children - where DO they get their energy??!!
I gave away the few cakes that were left to some passing witches etc - better than wasting them. I seem to have "won" more than I went with - a child's hoody with yellow sunshine on the sleeve. Lots of decorations etc. If anyone wants to claim them just let me know. I can keep the decorations for next year if not - there WILL be a next year won't there? Total takings were £127.14 - outstanding - thanks all. Since it was a definite "we" job, I suggest £60 for Village Hall Funds and the balance of £67.14 for pre-school. A really worthwhile afternoon. MAGIC!
