We
were told we needed 40 jumpers to ensure the costs were covered, so were
somewhat nervous as the doors opened.
We certainly
needn't have been! People just kept coming. We had a BBQ going
all day, with people paying all sorts of prices for a burger as they knew it
was all for a good cause.
The swear box
(somebody's brainwave) was also full fairly quickly once people saw the
height of the crane!
It seemed
people's generosity knew no bounds and the money just kept coming. We
easily managed 40 very brave souls who bungeed the 180 foot drop (not for
the faint-hearted), with some even going twice!
A
fantastic day was had by all, going into a disco and raffle in the evening
that was great fun. It was an exhausting but fantastic day that ended
with everyone asking what we were going to do next year!
Once all the
sponsor money was in we had raised over £5000. How we are going
to top the day next year is anyone's guess, but we are working on it.
