Roaming Robots, Bury St Edmunds Fete 23rd May
Just thought Id post an update now weve all recovered from Sunday (and the aftermath!) a bit.............
The total Hospice income, before and on the day, was over £12,000, an incredible amount considering we normally take £4-6,000 as an average at our Fetes.
( This of course doesnt include any money spent at the 50 or so stalls/attractions that WERENT fundraising for us!)
This I am sure was greatly due to the fact you were all there, as we took almost £3,000 of our income just on tickets for the event and on raffle tickets for the jacket and other donated items.
The £12,000 of course is before all our costs are taken into account, but we will still end up with an incredible £8,000 to £9,000 once all costs are accounted for.
I cant say it enough, but thank you all SO much for such a fantastic day, and for entertaining and captivating so many people.
And thank you most importantly,for helping us raise such a lot of money to help local people facing very difficult and frightening times.
Im sorry I didnt get to meet and or thank you all personally, but on behalf of EVERYONE here
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
