We had a stand set up and Debs and I sold our homemade jams, chutneys and pickles (all made from predominantly free local produce), bunches of holly and mistletoe (gathered from around the office) and ran raffles and a 'guess the number of gravy bones in the bottle' contest. As well as that we had Julie (from the data team) acting chaperon to Debbie's husband who very kindly donned the Drontal dog suit and entertained the crowds all afternoon (but who had limited vision!) out with the collecting bucket.
We managed to raise a fantastic £314.50!! a great result and just shows what is achievable with a bit of effort. Once again my thanks go to Debs who masterminded the whole thing (and organised me as I had been up in Scotland all the previous week at the new surgery openings), to Wally for his tireless enthusiasm in the world's hottest dog suit, and Julie for all her help on the day.
Pictures to follow!
