Bucket Shake at The Millgate Centre
We all enjoyed a fund raising bucket shake at The Millgate Centre in Bury on Saturday June 30th. A big thank you to Lisa Smith for this.
Boys and girls performed and demonstrated on the day. We also had plenty of adult volunteers - thanks to all who came.
The day ran from 9am to 5pm. Recreational gymnasts and their parents also came along and helped to collect.
IT WAS AN ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO RAISE BOTH CASH AND THE PROFILE OF THE CLUB. WE DID BOTH THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME.
The total amount of money collected at Millgate has been counted:
PEEL TOWER ABSEIL
23rd JUNE Thank you to everyone who came to support this event.
The stalls which were up there were manned admirably by gymnasts and parents alike. Thanks to the people who helped wrap sweets, bring up hot water for drinks ………etc…… You were brilliant. To everyone who helped back stage and on the day itself – BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT!
The whole day stayed dry but the wind played its part.
To all Abseilers who valiantly went over the top – BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT!
A massive thank you to the organisers from Burrs Activity Centre, without your help this would never ever have happened.
When you have collected your sponsor money in could you please give the sponsor money and the form to the coaches. Please ask the coach to pass the money onto Cath Thorley, Alison Bowden, Davina Clarke, Sally Horsfall or Paul Reid. These people will keep a running total of what is collected and bank the proceeds into the BMOGC bank account.
Once again, well done to everyone who was involved in making the abseiling event a success.
