The Christmas Disco held on December 13th was fun.
Deejay Worzel produced his magic and the floor was filling by the minute as we all sang along and reminisced to the sounds of the 70’s and 80’s.
We raised just over 1350 euros and after expenses have donated 700 euros to charity, split 330 to Action for Animals and 370 to AECC Malaga (cancer research).
Our thanks to the John Dunford photo booth, raising 65.18, Liz Bland for doing such a great job on the Tombola, netting 278.22 and to Sue Edwards for charging guests 50c each to sign her leg plaster cast, this added 36.32 to the AECC funds and of course those who bought tickets.
A little break now will give your pockets a chance to recover before we run headlong into the Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday April 4th.
For those of you who heard about it last year or experienced it we truly hope that you will be as generous this year as you were last. The children were so excited and thrilled with their prizes.
The idea is that we (CAMPO) ask you to sponsor an egg for the children of Competa. We are doing it slightly differently this year as we have the time to organise the eggs with Sugar and Spice. We have asked them to order us 120 (yes 120) medium sized eggs and we will ask if you can donate 10 euros for each egg. You can do it individually or in a group – up to you. This will pay for the egg and whatever remains will be donated to Caritas, Competa.
Should you wish to donate more that would be fantastic and Sugar and Spice would make up baskets of eggs/sweets to make them an extra special prize.
Each child will then pay a nominal entrance fee per egg, which again is donated to Caritas.
We will have 120 numbered fake eggs, all prettily decorated, which are then planted around the Hotel Balcon’s garden areas and each child must find a fake egg to exchange for the real thing. They will not know before they hunt what their prize will be as we hide the corresponding real egg numbers from sight.
It was a special sight to see last year and we were wiped out of 77 eggs and vouchers (through lack of eggs) within 50 minutes.
We will remind you in March that we will be chasing people for donations please. You could always advise any committee member you know that you intend contributing, that way we can collect from you.
Cindy is promoting the Walk for Life in this month’s edition of The Grapevine, so check it out if you are participating. The date this year is Sunday April 26th
We have something else up our sleeves before the summer sets in, so watch this space for further information.
We will be changing the name of our group within the coming weeks as times have changed and we are more a fundraising group now than a performing one (Competa Amateur Performing Organisation) so please look out for this information.
Many thanks to all our supporters as always
CAMPO
