In total, we collected £1666 in donations, ticket sales, jam sales (thanks to David and Cath Allais), and a tombola (thanks to Ramblers members for the prizes)
If Gift Aid is counted in, the total will be £1907.25 (the 25 pence is important)
A plot to bring the total to £2000 is revealed at the end of this post.

As it was almost halloween, we decided on a Rocky Horror/Halloween theme and some people dressed appropriately, or in my case, inappropriately,
So, we began the night with a performance by the Ramblettes (our own Crook and Weardale Ramblers pop-up group) with four rehearsed songs - Timewarp, Paint It Black, Yesterday and Nellie The Elephant and an unrehearsed encore with Let |It Be.
Backs and legs were waxed - I had my chest and back done by Sarah - fairly vicious but professional, and Alison - brutal and a bit slow at first ripping the wax strips off. There could have been others involved but I was trying not to get personally involved and took comfort in some blackberry flavoured whisky of which none was spilled.
I hope you enjoy the pictures some of which can not be unseen.
It was all done in the best possible taste . though.
I'll probably never live this down.

So - here's the thing - we are pretty close to the £2000 mark and I'd quite like to hit that target. I am aware that the dishcloth of charity has probably been wrung dry, and loads of thanks and positive karma to everybody who gave up some of their hard-earned spomdoolies.
But, from today, 14 November 2026 anybody who makes any kind of donation will be up for a Special Prize which will be chosen in the same way that raffle prize winners are chosen. I'll need an email address unless I know you already. The link to donate is here
Apologies for the pants, suspenders and stockings. Obviously.
