The NSPCC Board Game Day Results

In this post I was going to write a long in depth analysis about our NSPCC #BigBoardGameDay event way back in June.

Then I thought "Why bother" 

After spending several weeks on advertising, telephone calls, driving around Launceston scrounging some really great raffle prizes. And generally everything involved in organising an event of this type, the big day arrived. 

All was set, these photos taken 5 mins before opening the doors. What you can't see very clearly is the tea urn, and table of homemade cakes etc on the right of the picture.

                                                Some great prizes on offer.

We were open from 10am to 5pm and apart from friends and family who made the effort to come, our total was 4 people who popped in out of curiosity on their way back from getting their pension.

So, with some fierce last minute raffle ticket buying by certain people (Did I mention the great prizes) our grand total for the event including some very generous online donations was £149.40  for the NSPCC.
Although this is still a nice amount for the NSPCC I know that if we were supported by more people it could have been so much better.
