SATURDAY 8th December 2007
You may bring toys, but the
Children's Hospice has asked for
us to think "Days out throughout
the year". If the weather is
fine we will have 2 to 3 hundred
bikers delivering possibly 6 to
7 hundred presents, that is a
lot for them to deal with as
thankfully they don't have as
many children as Barnardos.
On the days out side, Bristol
Zoo Farm will let us have
tickets £6 each (see
home page)
and Bowlplex will do gift
tokens.
Bristol Zoo proper do a season
ticket for £168 which we will be
collecting for on the day and
after that the Showcase Cinema
do a book of 50 tickets for
£220.
So we are encouraging people to
bring money, cash or cheques
payable to The Children's
Hospice Southwest on the day as
well. so in answer to your
question you may do as you wish,
but obviously we do not want to
overwhelm them with toys.
