How many balloons?
Posted: Fri Oct 08, 2010 5:09 pm
Hi All
This is our teardrop this afternoon, full to bursting with balloons. I have no idea exactly how many are in there, but it took Michelle and I the whole day to do it, and I had to be resuccitated twice. If anyone isn't going to be with us on Sunday at Ruddington Heritage Centre near Nottingham, I'll accept entries by email (along with the £1 entry fee via http://www.justgiving.com/Mike-Dean) as long as they arrive in my inbox by midnight tomorrow, to the following question:
The balloons in the caravan are of various shapes and more than one size, and we carried on adding new ones until we heard one pop inside - when we burst them all on Sunday afternoon, how many UNBURST balloons will there be? Ten quid for the correct, or more likely nearest to correct, answer, proceeds obviously to Leuka. As those of you on the rally circuit will know, I've been attempting to get to 50 different rallies this season, and Sunday will be the 50th event - I've even persuaded our esteemed Mr Newell to come and wave me through the gates! Total raised before this weekend is £720 but I have promises of another £120 outstanding. I know there's always another charity asking you to dig into your pockets and also that times are harder than ever this year, but I'd be hugely hugely grateful for any support from the messageboard.
Many thanks for reading
Mike
