It had been three years since
the last Charities Fete, squeezed out of the timetable at
a busy time of year. However, at the end of a long
week of OfSTED inspection, and for a good cause, everyone was
ready to let their hair down.
However - expectations were far exceeded as BRGS students proved,
as ever, how committed they are to a good cause and pulled out
all
of the stops to make the evening a memorable one.
Each form had to come up with their own idea for a stall to
raise money. They had to provide everything from prizes to publicity
and, as we have come to expect from BRGS students, the results
were fantastic. Over £1,300 was raised from stalls ranging
from Whack the Rat to Soak the Teacher.
However, there was always going to be one that was harder to
beat than all the rest - the raffle to cover the headmaster
with a bucket of beans!!!
The hall was as full as it has ever been with the crowds baying
for the buckets of cold, sticky beans to be released, leaving
the headmaster feeling like he'd bean had!
Mrs. Ashworth, whose form had organised the raffle was also
up for the bean treatment along with Mr. Ashton, Mr. Grehan
and Mr. Edwards. Mr. Morris' picture later appeared on the front
page of the Free Press which reported the great fun that was
had by all on this fantastic evening.
WELL DONE ALL THOSE BRGS STUDENTS WHO HELPED TO ORGANISE
THE STALLS!
