A wonderful day for a Family Treasure Hunt!
We were focused mainly on our Treasure Hunt today but volunteers still found time to mow the Band Room garden, the long-grass triangle and do a litter-pick. However, the main task of the day for those who weren't handing out programmes and chocolates, or selling raffle tickets and sowing seeds with Little Growers, was clearing of the bed just next to our stall. This was adopted by the Scouts last year but by mutual agreement we've taken it back and plan to use it as an experimental wildflower bed. It was back-breaking work but they did it!
The Treasure Hunt was a great success financially and everyone seemed to enjoy it and gave great feedback too.
We're still waiting for some of the money to come in, so we'll give a full update on the Treasure Hunt Page when the dust settles. We do know that we raised £382 on the raffle, £64.50 thanks to Marple Youth Project's Cake Sale, £20 selling cards, £25 selling jewellery and £161 in donations. So with the £2,516 of sponsorship received so far we've achieved a wonderful £3,169!
