Wasps vs Cardiff – a charity money maker

The time is getting closer, more money is being raised (personal total between me and the other half is just under £700 with another £100 promised) and more effort is going in. On the weekend we attended the Wasps vs Blues semi-final, of which I was supporting the ‘wrong’ team, sorry, and were shaking buckets.

A pretty good day was had, despite the scoreline bothering most of you. Many drinks consumed, a good band afterwards, and of course a good game of rugby. The bucket shaking? An impressive £975 raised in two hours standing in what was, at times, some awful weather (I happened to make a beer run missing the worst of it – getting a round in can be useful at times)!

A big thanks to the fans, and the fans after the game where I wandered around the beer tent selling some of the very stylish wrist bands at £2 a pop – £120 raised in about 30 minutes from both sets of fans (this one went to the personal fund raising total, the £975 to the general Wasps pot).

So all in all over £1,000 raised on the day – so to those who were there our most heartfelt thanks (and for making the atmosphere one of the best I have been part of since starting to go to Adams Park). To those who weren’t – get sponsoring us ASAP ;)
