Yesterday was our 2015 Family Fun Day.

The morning was busy preparing things and transporting all our stuff down to the venue.

The weather was being quite nice to us and we managed to get prepared pretty quickly and smoothly.

Our first stall holders started to arrive.

We were all starting to feel very nervous but also very excited. We just wanted it to get underway and for people to start arriving. 

Soon we had all the stalls sorted, the disco was in full swing, the bouncy castle and slide were fully functional and the cakes were all ready to be bought and eaten.

All we needed now were people.

We needn't have worried, people started to arrive just before 1pm.
You could almost feel the anxiousness leaving our bodies.

More people started to arrive and we all seemed to be getting much busier. I was on the Tombola stall and it was getting a good amount of customers.

One of our patrons, Kim Groves, arrived and she was really happy and pleased with the amount of people that had already come. She said she was very proud of what we had achieved and how much we had there for people to do.

We had a slight blip at this point as suddenly the heavens opened and we were all getting very wet. Everyone rallied round and we took all the stalls inside the venue.

Although it meant we couldn't carry on with the bouncy castle and slide or the crazy golf it didn't stop the people coming and enjoying the things that were happening inside.

Everyone who came seemed to be enjoying themselves and we saw lots of kids running around with blue and pink mouths from the candy floss they had eaten.

At 5pm we drew the Raffle. We got the children to take it in turns to pull out the tickets and the people that won prizes seemed very happy with their prizes.

To end the day we had a balloon release. Throughout the afternoon there had been red hearts for people to write a message to someone they had lost. We then attached them to the balloons. we all stood outside and let the balloons of together.

We had so many people that helped us either by donating their time and energy or by donating their service for free. 

After everyone had gone we gathered together to find out how much we had managed to raise. 

At the end of Saturday we had raised an amazing £509.78.

What a brilliant amount. We feel very proud at what we have achieved and for the continued support we have received from our supporters.

Thank You to everyone who was involved with the day, be that by spending your pennies to donating your services. Without all of you we couldn't have come closer to achieving our goal.
