Finally the kind volunteers who helped out in the kitchen have announced that they raised a total of £501.46 for their school. So a huge thank you goes to all those who succumbed to the bacon baps and cakes and helped us raise this money, every penny of which will be spent on sending a group of young people to the Calvert Trust, an outdoor activity centre in North Devon which caters for people with disabilities. Any remaining money will be put towards the purchase of an adult size trike for use by the pupils. Triathletes taking part next year are in for treat as the caterers will back again this time with a veggie option!
