I think they are planning to do it on the day of the McM coffee mornings.

It looks like it will be 27th September at 11am in the church hall.

The head shave pack has finally arrived and I made the announcement at the parish lunch.

I have the tee-shirt to wear afterwards so that people don't think that I am really ill or just attention seeking. Other than that there is a sponsor sheet and a paying in slip and a cardboard collecting box.

The harvest supper (we are the village of non-stop guzzle) is quite soon after the head shave so I should be able to screw a bit more cash out of people there, they will be dazzled by the shiny head!

It looks like it is going to be a two class event with the coffee morning for those who are comfortable with coffee mornings first and then, after i have been properly humiliated, we will be serving bacon sandwiches, made with the rashers so kindly donated by our butcher (Paul Tessier at West Wittering) to people who are more of my class and who probably all have shaved heads anyway!

Even if you don't get anymore on line sponsors, you only need 19 x £5 locals and you'l have made your £200 target. :-)

Up to £160 now.

The preceding coffee morning is being organized by the usual ladies of the village and they are not very sure about the bacon butties so I have been explaining to them that, just as they have never been to a darts match and would probably not contemplate going to one, there are those who would not contemplate going to a coffee morning.

Naturally, one of the ladies had been to a darts match. The WI where she used to live had organized one!

Hmm, a WI darts match probably wouldn't have consumed as much Bitter as a 'proper' one :-D

Sharron

Sharron Report 23 Aug 2016 23:56

It is the WI we are talking about!

I used to play in the WI darts team, and yes the booze did flow somewhat :-D :-D :-D :-D

I have had a letter from the lady with the committee saying I am not to do bacon sandwiches so I have written back saying that my event will be seperate and that I think raising as much money as possible is more important than keeping to the rules.

She is a dear, sweet, lovely old lady and she has run more committees than I could count but she has never eaten a bacon sandwich and I doubt she has even met many people who have.

I just want to make as much as I can, utilize the bacon that has been donated for the purpose and get money out of those who would not go to a coffee morning.

With a bit of luck I won't be the only shaved head there!
