Put Saturday 18 October in your diaries, because we have a charity show coming up to raise money for our Team Gambia 2014 project and it promises to be great fun!
One of the students going on the trip is Lauren Davis and her grandfather is going to put on a cabaret show for us in October; we want to get everybody involved.
The event will take place on Saturday 18 October at Sheldon Heath Social Club on Brays Road in Sheldon and will run from 8.00pm – 11.00pm. We will be charging £4 per ticket, which will include entrance and light snacks. There will be a paying bar there too.
The show will including music and dancing, with the a wartime tribute in the first half (including lots of 1940s music that grandparents would enjoy) and going on to include music from the Shadows, Neil Diamond and some Rock ‘n’ Roll. There will be a little bit of more modern music in the second half and we will be holding a raffle during the interval.
Posters and tickets are being done over the summer and when everybody comes back to College in September we will give you more information about how to get tickets.

More Fundraising Successes
We've had some more fundraising successes recently.
Rory Hayes and Samantha Evans gave a presentation about the trip to their Church and took a collection, which raised over £200!
Meanwhile, Alex Simpkins has set up an online charity page and has so far raised approximately £200 from donations!
Georgia Bodfish adopted a different approach, as she held a charity netball match with younger girls playing in fancy dress. Not only was this great fun for all involved, but it raised over £70 too.
Neha Chauhan has raised £100 from doing bake sales and car washing so far, while Olivia Howse helped out at a music concert at College recently and collected £43 in donations.
Keep up the good work over the summer folks.

New Member of Team Gambia 2014
Unfortunately we lost a member of Team Gambia 2014, as Hope Rowe-Hartman had to withdraw from the trip. However, we are pleased to welcome Bethany Sloan to the group in her place.
Fundraising Update
Students are moving ahead with their fundraising at a grand pace now. Bake sales have been particularly popular, with Alex Atkins and Nick Wall each selling cakes at College.
Nick choose a Higher Education evening at College, when parents of Year 12 students were in College to hear about the next step after College. He had made a selection of cakes (with his Mum's help) and sold these to parents during their time in College. Visiting parents were very generous and £99.02 was raised in total.
Alex Atkins held an American-themed bake sale on Friday 4th July, including cupcakes, muffins and other delicious treats. this was her second bake sale at the College. She served throughout lunch time in the College Refectory and raised £72.61.
There are, of course, lots of other ways to raise money and for Chris Bate it was a car boot sale that he undertook recently. Chris raised £80 from this.
Each student has a target of £400 to raise for the school in the Gambia that they will be visiting this November, so these fundraising successes are great news as they head towards their targets.
