Just under £10,000 to go!

This week has seen the £30,000 fundraising mark 'Aced'. The total now stands at a huge £30, 555.81. Once again, thank you to everyone that has contributed so far. We still need some ideas to push that total up to the all important £40,000 so keep them coming in.

Sharon and Elizabeth, from accounts, with their
spreads at the ready!
This weeks activities have included the hugely popular return of the toast service. Serving hot buttered toast with Jam or Marmalade for just 25p (not forgetting 5p per spread additional charge), the Accounts team have been dishing out toast quicker than they can get the bread in the toaster! A big thanks to the team for giving up their time this week. Make sure you all get your toast tomorrow as the dream team, Jim and Duncan, will be donning their aprons to serve the masses.

Don't forget that it is the Wimbledon themed dress down day on Friday. So make sure you press your tennis dresses ready for the occasion. There will be Strawberries and cream served in the afternoon in true Wimbledon style. Also, not forgetting the Wimbledon sweepstakes, organised by Steve Brown. Good luck to those who pulled the remaining players out of the hat, winners will receive £24 both for the Men's and Women's draw, with £48 going into the pot for Dougie Mac.

Once again, a big thank you to Mrs Paula Parkinson for her tremendous efforts organising the Bonus Ball each week! Good luck to all who have entered

This Saturday, we have a team at Morrisons Festival Park selling the mugs, so if you are in the area, pop in to show your support. If anyone knows of any other events that we could sell the mugs at please let Ann know. 

Helen Blackburn has managed to get Team Churchill onto Signal 1's workplace challenge this week. The team has so far done really well and are ahead of the other entrants. With 1 days to go it is looking promising! If the team win this week, this prize will be raffled off to raise further funds for Dougie Mac. Show your support by tuning in around 11am tomorrow, the fighting talk is definitely out now! 

Finally, our very own Ross Jones, will be running the Bristol Half Marathon on September 15th for Dougie Mac. Please show your support by sponsoring him through his Just Giving Page
