Cadet
John Spelman was set the task to arrange a sponsored fundraiser and
came up with the brilliant idea of offering a ironing service for the
families and friends of the Squadron. Each item would cost just 50p
or £1 for larger items such as sheets and the cadets would send them
back home crease free and perfectly pristine.
Cadet
Spelman also decided to add a competitive element setting the
challenge to each flight to raise the most funds. Green and Red
flight went head to head with a little assistance from Orange flight
split between them. The winners were Green Flight who raised £43.50.
Red Flight's contributions of £35 brought the grand amount raised to
£78.50!
Afterwards,
Cadet Spelman reflected that it had been a great success saying "not
only have we managed to raise some funds, the cadets had fun learning
about how to iron different items. The large duvet set from one
parent was a bit of a challenge but we managed it!".
The
funds will go towards an upcoming planned visit to Bletchley Park.
Thank you to all the families who sent in their items and payments.
