Bucket collections and raffles!

Another day, another fundraising activity!

Saturday 17th saw myself and a friend, Stevey V, onto the streets of Tunbridge Wells for a bucket collection to raise money for the NSPCC and awareness of my impending trip. It was surprisingly great fun and the weather held out despite promised rain. We raised an insane £166 exactly! Well worth the 6 hours standing outside hastling people (sorry!).

I was also on a raffle-ticket-selling-roll. So far 100 have been sold with plenty of time to go before the draw on September 21st.

I have been lucky enough to have some amazing people behind this raffle who have donated the most INCREDIBLE prizes. These include 2 free powerkite lessons, 2 free cinema tickets to a 2D film of your choice, 2 free lunchtime menus at CROMA restaurant in Tunbridge Wells, a £50 Topshop voucher, a beautiful frame, bottles of wine and an eye-shadow beauty pallet.

I'd like to thank the following people for these really awesome prizes;

The Kitesurf Centre have very, very kindly given away two free powerkite lessons worth up to £100 for the lucky winners of this raffle.

The centre specialise in offering various kitesurfing, landboarding, buggying, paddle boarding and wakeboarding lessons as well as kit hire, repairs and sales. Based at the beautiful Camber Sands, Kent, this is an amazing centre and well worth checking out! Just give their website a look to see the sheer number and variation of courses they offer! All instructors are BKSA certified. I really can't do this place justice, you have to check them out yourself to see!
