Flying High With McCartneys

19th August 2008

The crowds were out in force at this year’s Burwarton Show, and, for most of the day, so was the sun - which was especially good news after last year’s wash-out. A couple of late downpours didn’t dampen spirits and it was standing room only at the McCartneys stand throughout the day.

At the front of our stand was the McCartneys Mini, full to bursting (!) with balloons. The competition to guess just how many balloons were in it proved to be a great success.

The entry fee was £1 per guess with every penny taken going to The County Air Ambulance. We’re delighted to report that we raised just over £300 for this worthwhile charity – so thank you very much to everyone who entered.

And for those who were wondering there were in fact 166 balloons squeezed into the Mini.

Prizes up for grabs, donated by McCartneys, were vouchers of £50, £25 and £10.

One person got the number spot on – that was Mr C Quayle of Bewdley. Runners-up, who were just one balloon out, were Clare Briggs of Bridgnorth and Mr E Morgan of Elton near Ludlow. Congratulations to all three winners, and once again a big thank you to everyone who took part.
