tolworth gym club fundraiser shoots

survived the shoots.... lots and lots and lots of great kids , all in a rush mid gym session and all over excited and bubbling with enthusiasm. There are 4 images per child going onto the proof cards which in itself is a mammoth task, the lab has specially designed one where the payment goes directly to the club for me so the total tallying will be easier for them this year , and my figures wont look so bonkers as they did last year when i suddenly gave a big wodge of wedge back as commission. I think it came out at 3760 pictures that's 940 of the kids and i know i didn't see them all as there were important competitions on so the class slots over the weekend i was there had been shuffled and the squads were out competing , that's a donation of over 7 days work time , processing ,now i just have to see how much we raise through the sales of the images.
I feel good and the karma must be realy good now.
hope we smash last years total

Rainbow Trust

volunteering services for charities,
first off the blocks...The Rainbow Trust.
Rainbow Trust Children's Charity provides practical and emotional support to families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness ,I went to rainbow house in surrey met a lovely family who were staying there and all the carers and house staff who were very welcoming and spent the day with them making images for the rainbow trust for their brochures and web site and i plan to go back again and do some more when needed,

Next up,Fund raising , Tolworth Gymnastics Club last year i made £1700 for the club and this year i aim to beat that...... its a big job with continuous gymnasts coming through for portrait pictures over 6 days,theres over 900 kids at the club so its a real challenge to avoid it turning into a conveyor belt as you still have to try and make a connection with each child which is a tall order, but very good for the people/studio skills !! so i am expecting to need to go for several serious nights out next week to recover.
