There were 'Quack Quacks', 'Wobble Wobbles' and 'Choo Choo's' resounding around Ashendon Gatehangers last night as we Belles shook our 'Legs Eleven' to host a night of shameless gambling and got our Helen & Douglas House fundraising well and truly kick started.
What a team we were - we expect the Gala headhunters to be in touch soon. Andy (our energetic and enthusiastic landlord at Gatehangers) called the numbers like a pro. Vicky sold books, Alex, Amber (who should have been on the Brighton Line but came to bingo instead) and Sian checked numbers and Annalise (Young and Keen - nearly Sweet Sixteen) made super sales with raffle tickets - £1 a Sunset Strip!
Man Alive the crowd loved it and as the final game was played there were cries from the floor for more - so we'll do it again in New Year. Next time we'll have reputation behind us - perhaps with ads in Bernwode News we might even get punters from as far away as Tony's Den!
Was she worth it? it was well over £200 quid worth it! Snakes Alive and Jump and Jive! there's nothing Droopy Drawers about that result. A few more nights like that and we will be Nearly There with the target.
Thanks to everyone who came along and joined the fun and we hope to see you next time - as they say in the 'halls' - Hurry Back.
It has been almost three years since the Belles set a challenge. We haven't stopped, we simply need to re-set and re-focus and find time to get ourselves back in the zone.
