6th May - Car Wash!!

On 6^th May we took part in a car wash day! This was our last fundraising event and it was very tiring but we all had a good day.

We were in different teams so that we could wash lots of cars! These were Transport (Me and Kristy) Admin and communication (Lauren and Ross) Fundraising team (Steph B, Blaise and Hayley) Accommodation (Lorna and Kaleigh) and Attraction (Steph D.C and Justine as Gemma wasn’t there.)

Steph B sent out an e-mail which asked everyone if they wanted there car wash and we had lots of responses as 20 people replied back. The staff which replied had to give us their registration, colour, make and model of their car and where they normally park so that we could find there car and wash it!

We got to college at 9 and made sure that everyone had all there buckets, shampoo, sponge and chamois! There was a tap outside not to far away from our first car however the water was freezing cold! Lol Steph B told us what cars we had to wash and where to find them! The first car me and Kristy washed was dirty and we had trouble getting the windows clean they went all smeary! I thought it would take us to 20 minutes to wash a car it took me and Kristy about 1 hour. By the first car we was already tired but we’d only just started Lol once we washed the car we then had to go to the department which they worked in to collect the money! We had a huge car which we had to wash (Shown in the picture) and we worked as a group to do it. We had to put Lorna on Kaleigh shoulders so that we could reach the roof!

We finally washed 25 cars at around 14:30 and as a group we were relived as we were all so tired! We then went back to count how much money we raised and this was a grand total of £137.45!! which was really good and everyone did so well! All together with all of the fundraising we raised £404 which covers the accommodation and walking tour expenses. As we had £45 pound left over we decided we would give it to NSPCC as this was our charity which we picked on our first fund raising event to give to!

With the money which was raised Kaleigh is going to get all the money changed up as she is on the accommodation team so that we can pay for the hostel whilst in Prague!

Finally all we have left to do now is pack for Prague!!! And on 10^th May we will be flying to Prague!! It’s going to be so good i cant wait!!!
