31st October

Fancy Dress Competition

Knockbreck Primary School, Waternish, Isle of Skye

Gill and Ian were asked to judge a fancy dress competition at Knockbreck Primary School, Waternish, Isle of Skye on Halloween night. The school have decided to adopt the charity to help the children and are looking at various fund raising events. This was the first.

This was the first time we have had to do anything like this and it was so difficult - the quality and originality of the costumes was fantastic and all of the children deserved a big pat on their backs for their efforts however we decided on a wizard in the youngest class, a gold cyberman in the middle class and a penguin in the eldest class- we also had to judge the pumpkin lanterns and decided on a square eyed pumpkin with goofy teeth.

Thanks to the children, staff and parents of the school for a very enjoyable evening and for your rund raising efforts.
