I can't be bothered to read it, I just wanted to say well done to all those who choose not to spend their entire lives in the same seat in the same bar with the same people every day - and put so much into this - what I always think of as "giving something back" but maybe they would just see it as helping locally.
It is particularly amazing to me that the total is so high without the carnival, way more than the years with the carnival. But of course, there's always been a lot more to this than carnival day.
I'd also like to thank the CBF members who must be sick to death of calls for assistance and STILL send the donation through. Absolutely remarkable people on here. Nearly as remarkable as the mind of Mr John "Highlander" Stephen who's ideas for fundraising online are quite ridiculous, impossible to fathom and bring in huge chunks of much needed money. He's a little bashful and dismissive of his effort but it
IS an important part of the overall scheme of things and nobody else is doing it so the credit falls, however uncomfortably, at his door
And to Pete & Chrissie who must feel like they used to have a life before they came up with this crazy idea. Two huge hearts of gold.
