Has not been the greatest success yet, it will take a while to get up and running with selling - I have only bought items before. I am going to list the better items leftover from the table top sale at the coffee morning. Normally it would have gone to the charity shop but I am going to give this a go.
I have been working out the best place to take the photos. I then started by listing a pair of trousers I bought for one of the boys that never got used. It took a while, I had to make a picture of a word document giving information about trailwalker and Life's Voyagers. I then needed to work out what all the options did thatt you coudl chooses when selling; a number of time I went to look at a preview only to loose great chunks of text that I had typed in! Finally got the trousers listed and I thought I would have a go at a second item by copying the first and adapting it, unwittingly I was revising the trousers and morphing them into a girls denim jacket, I got thoroughly confused but worked out what happened eventually.
It has now been bid upon if it stays at this price I will just about cover my costs after the debacle of setting up, hopefully in the future it will go a lot smoother!

Easter Sunday
Made £51.30 this morning finishing the raffle, guess the weight of the cake and name the teddy. Thankyou to all who helped.
More importantly there was some serious interest in my request for a fourth walker.

Fundraising Update
Coffee Morning - had hoped for more people. A big thankyou to all who did come they were very supportive. I'll carry the raffle, cake and teddy on after mass on Sunday, hopefully will catch a lot of people with it being Easter
Choir Debut Performance - Took name the teddy and guess the weight of the cake along and managed to raise over £26 - this bodes well for sunday.
Tombola - had a very productive meeting at Farnborough Leisure Centre. Manager suggested Easter Saturday not a very good day as is not their busiest; they have suggested lots of other better times. I have now got plenty of contacts at the council and they suggested I could try and get the mayor along for the photo opportunity - I think this is a fantastic idea. It made me think of having a Gurkha piper and drummer along as well; the GWT are fine with this but I will need to fix a date when the mayor is available and the centre is busy, that's my next task - as well as the ongoing one of obtaining raffle prizes. The Leisure Centre have come up trumps with these as well they have offered a load of vouchers for the bowling, cafe & play area and even 3 months full membership of the centre. Thankyou very much for all of these, they will be put to good use.

Have walked from CP1 to CP3 ... about 19k
It was a bit of a damp and misty start but the day turned out to be beautiful and hot. One purpose of training is familiarise yourself with equipment; I had a new pair of poles to try out and took ages to work out how to strap them on - I didn't spot that they were marked L & R until over half way through the walk! Our support team were with us and there was never a more welcome sight as we arrived at the checkpoint after 10.3k to see them in the car park with chairs set out and drink and food waiting for us - pasta salad never tasted so good. We set off on the second leg which contained quite a lot of tracks, some chalk paths were still being laid and walking on them was very easy on the feet - the paths were like wearing a new pair of air filled springy trainers - they were really comfortable to walk on. The last drop down to the view point we were meeting at was a killer on the knees, hopefully this will get better with training. We were rather pleased with ourselves for arriving at the meeting place 10 minutes early. In total (including our 20minutes break) we took 4 hours 35 minutes.

Fundraising update
Have received children's tickets for Coral Reef.
Daniel's Sponsored Haircut Members of the football team and family have sponsored Daniel to have his hair cut. The more money he raises the shorter the cut! He all ready has £65 pledged which equates to a number three. His school have allowed him to have his hair cut by one of the mums on the 'Bad Hair' mufti day; all the kids in his year will pay to watch his hair being cut. This should get us another £30 so by the time his Dad has sponsored him Daniel will hopefully have raised over £100. A big thankyou to the school for supporting us.
Coffee morning 6th April Plans are going well. I am making some flyers to hand out to advertise the event. Have bought a bagful of bisciuts and will need a visit to Cost Co to buy a couple of trays of danishes, and a jar of sweets. Have got the boys making up names for 'Guess the name of the Teddy', I need to get a teddy bear from somewhere. Need to bake (if I have the time) or beg for a Simnel Cake.
Tombola 11th April great news have got the go ahead to hold this at Farnborough Leisure Centre on Easter Saturday, I would like to say a great big thank you to the manager for this and for the bowling and swimming vouchers.
