The
group of 11 students was split into one group of 5 and one group of 6.
The group of 6 consisted of Charlene Watkinson, Rachael Bayliss, Holly
Clark, Lucy Rozenbroek, Rebecca Piwinski and Gemma Harland - who decided
to organise a 'UK Seaside Promotional Event'.
The event took place on the 3rd February
in the college sports hall. The students carried out a sponsored walk
prior to the event to raise money to fund their activities.
On the day of the event, the students
operated a 'Seaside Information Stand', and they arranged for real
donkeys to be present for 'guess the name of the donkey'!
There was a 'Hook a Duck' game, tombola,
ice cream and popcorn sales, and many more activities with a 'seaside
theme'.
The
students could choose where the proceeds of the event went. The
money could have been spent on a day out for the students or other
activities, but they decided to donate it to charity.
Charlene Watkinson had gone to school
with Jamie Bucknell, who died suddenly from a cardiac arrest, and the
group agreed that the money would be donated to CRY.
The other group of 5 decided on a 'Mexican Event' which took place in
the sports hall on the same day as the seaside event.
This group chose to also raise money for
charity and donated the £409.55 raised to Cancer Research. They had a
range of Mexican activities including a bucking bronco.
