Nik on the blog this week.  I’m happy to report a successful, creative brainstorming session down our local has culminated in a diverse plethora of fund raising ideas to enable us to reach our target.

So here’s what we’ve come up with …

Loudmouth for Madagascar – Loudmouth Actor/Facilitators are raising money for WaterAid by performing an afternoon of extracts from Loudmouth’s popular theatre in education programmes. This is a rare chance for friends and family to see Loudmouth’s work outside of a school setting and raise money for a great cause. The money raised is for our trek to the Madagascar in November to support WaterAid projects on the island.

Taking place on Saturday 13 May 3-5:30pm at The Regis, Cradley Heath.

 

Madfest – is a one day festival themed around the movie Madagascar.  There will be all your favourite Nik and Chris style summer fete shenanigans taking place during the day including

Bouncy Castle
Outdoor Cinema
Monkey Poopla
‘Think You Can Move It, Move It?’ dance competition
Coconut shy
Nerf Gun tournament
Garden Games
Tombola
Food, cake, drinks
Plus…..Meet Alex the Lion!!!!

The evening will culminate in an outdoor cinema screening of the film.
Taking place on Saturday 3 June from 3pm in CV10 area.

 Oh What a Night – is being hosted by the musically talented pupils of King Edwards and promises to be a fabulous night of favourite songs from the shows being performed for you.

Taking place on Saturday 8 July from 7pm at The Regis, Cradely Heath.

 There’s More….

I’ll also be looking to hold a few events at work to continue to bump up the funds.  So far I’ve held a samosa sales, which raised £170.

 

More recently I raffled off this gorgeous, huge plush bunny and a lovely box of Belgian chocs, which raised another massive £129.50. Thanks to my lovely colleagues for generously donating.

Not all our spectacular fund raising activities will be your cup of tea, but we hope we’ve built enough stuff into the plan that you’ll come and join us.  Watch out for the odd back pocket idea that might work its way out!
