Bishops Cleeve Street Fair

Yesterday was the 2011 Bishops Cleeve Street Fair, just north of Cheltenham. The Street fair ran between 12 and 4pm with stalls, dance groups, music performances, parachute jumps, vehicle displays and a spitfire flyby all taking part to help raise money for both the community and 6 charities, one of which was the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

Each of the charities had a stall, which I decided we would run the Throw-A-Lightbulb game and also have a stand for information and awareness about CF and the Trust.

We had a really busy day right from the start, with constant queues and crowds around our game, and many comments about how great the game was, and even a few asking if they could have permission to make a copy! Within the 4 hours we raised £160 on the game towards my £4000 target and hopefully find out shortly how much will be donated to the Trust from the profits of the Street Fair. A cheque presentation will be happening in September this year.

Thanks to all who came and took part and to Mars and ShakeAway for some of the donated prizes.
