Have a FANTASTIC day guys an' gals. I'm so glad the sun's going to put in an extended appearance and I'm sure the venue will be buzzin with people emptying their pockets.

It's richly deserved and you guys have earned it.

Well done to everyone and it goes without saying that I wish I was there but look forward to the pics/vids and the final tally when you've counted the coins at the end of the day!

Back at Bifff's and just counted the money...

Donations were about £500 but then the little Whisper's stopped being shy with the buckets and managed to sell all the left over cakes to the people outside the pub for £100.

So the total for today was just over £600

Thank you all. What a great day!
