Birthday Party: Saturday 7th November
3% of all sales on the day will go to the campaign.
Thank you to everyone that came along to our birthday party on the 7th November.
We had a fantastic day: so much fun that we forgot to take photos! At the day, I remembered and took a couple of shots of us in costume.
The photographers from the local papers were a bit more organised than us, so hopefully you'll see yourselves in the paper this week!
As is the form for these parties, we weren't left with much food by the end of the day. we enjoyed Frobscottle, Fizzy Lifting Drink, Pishlets, Delicious sweets, Glumptious Globgobblers, Nishnobblers (which were the best because they were chocolate!).
We read a few Roald Dahl favourites; stories from Revolting Rhymes and the Enormous Crocodile went down a treat. We completed wordsearches and coloured in some pictures from the books.
We don't know how much was raised dor the RNIB, but when the lady collects the tin, we'll update it on here.

Some background information on the Talk Books Campaign:
* The goal is to raise £50million over the next five years.
*Currently less than five percent of books are available in a format the blind and partially sighted can read.
*As well as talking books (audio), the RNIB aims to provide books in braille, large print and giant print. They want to provide fiction and non-fiction, online reference, braille sheet music and more, to cater for everyone.
*£125 allows the RNIB to sponsor a child to learn braille.
*£500 pays to record a children's book in unabridged form.
*£1500 pays for the RNIB to transcribe a book into braille.
