Make or break today! Will we hit target? Anyone who was anyone dusted off their glitter balls and headed to Rosie's for our finale silent disco. The most hilarious and bewildering night ever with Debs on channel 80's balllads and Sue raving to Channel Wedding Party Songs we had a blast. And at 9pm when our crowdfunder came to a close we knew we'd made it, and the dancing shoes could come off and the hair down and wild. What a fantastic end. Now the real work would begin!

Now this is our kind of fundraiser - where you just turn up and stuff yourself with delicious Sri Lankan faire. Felt a bit guilty that those lovely chaps at Temple did all the hard work (thanks Temple!). AND we rearranged their tables (again). You missed a real treat if you didn't make it. Batteries suitably charged for the finale...

Can you tell the novelty is starting to wear off? Oh stop being a whiner - we're on a roll! Saturday's fundraiser was a pay as you feel car wash, hosted by Sam Edwards Garage and JC49 Car Cleaning - thanks so much for your support guys - with support from not-in-the-least-grumpy-teen Louis, who washed alot of cars and didn't moan once about it.

Two events for the price of one today: the first a dry run on the silent disco (thanks St Petroc's - sorry we [Jackie] set off the fire alarm with our [her] crazy DJ effects). If you want to know how well that went, you'll have to read our book; and when we'd sort of recovered from that, it was QUIZ NIGHT! We couldn't have done it without our hosts Sazerac Social who wrote really hard questions, and compere Mr Martin Dorey MBE, who had such a commanding voice he didn't need a mic. The evening concluded with the music round, courtesy of the talented Ezmay Grace.

Wow, who knew Bude loved cake so much? We raised a whopping load of dosh at our pop-up coffee morning take over, and kick-started the rush on sponsored hoppers - who knew Bude loved gravity-fed hygienically sealed food dispensers so much? Thanks Butterbun for allowing us to take over your cafe and Ali of CookSimplyCook for making delicious treats and serving. Oh and all you cake lovers for making the day a success. We even got our faces in the papers again!

Ok, well perhaps not quite, but those not camera-shy among us put a little video together to raise awareness of our project, and to raise the much needed funds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E6ueJuwxAA Creds go to Coral Diffey's editing service, for putting together such a splendid vid, whilst managing us superstar movie divas (dahling!)

After finding out how fantastically beneficial to everyone social enterprises are (Jackie even went on a course!), we decided a Community Interest Company was the best way to serve Bude. We even registered with Her Maj to make it all above board and professional!
