Train Walk - 13th June 2010
On 13th June, we held a Thomas the Tank Engine Train Walk at Barnards Meadow, Lowestoft. Waveney Youth Football Club generously allowed us to have a pitch at their summer fun day, which meant that we were able to reach lots of people and take advantage of the crowds!
We set up our pitch for the day ...

And lots of children came along to take part in our Train Walks through the day. We even had WYFC's Roary taking part in the first Train Walk of the day!

Station #2: The Bertie Stop!
Station #3: The Mavis Stop
And lastly, Station #4: The Thomas Stop!
Once the walkers had completed the circuit, and collected all their stamps, they got their Thomas stickers ...

And then they got their certificates!
One happy Train Walker
Another Happy Train Walker!
Two happy Train Walkers raising money for the Lowestoft and North Suffolk branch of the NAS!
The Train Walk stamps had a busy day stamping tickets
But we didn't just have the Train Walks to keep customers busy on the day, oh no, we also had ...
Our Peg Game
The Peg Game involved putting one hand behind your back, and seeing just how many pegs you could pick off the washing line without dropping them. The winner was the person who picked up the most pegs! There was an adult winner, who won a voucher for tanning sessions at a local salon, and a child winner, who won a toy.
The Peg Game and Tombola
And, we also ran a tombola, which was very popular!
Children found the tombola irresistible!

Lots of people supported us on the day, and we Committee Members had a great time running the stall, and we managed to raise £81.25 for our branch into the bargain!
We are looking forward to having another NAS Branch stall at the WYFC's Tournament on 21st and 22nd August, details of which will be coming soon!
