Wednesday 31st May 2006 - Bounce and Play day at Emersons Green
Our second Bounce and Play day at the Vilage Hall in association with

Sunday 21st May 2006 - Funtastic Day with the Special friends group
The Special Friends club provides activities for children and young people with special needs, and provides assistance to their families in South Gloucestershire and Bristol. Bristol Fun For Hire provided the inflatable entertainment along with Candy Floss and Popcorn to raise funds at their "Funtastic Day" on the 21st May at the Hop Skip and Jump Centre in Kingswood.  The weather didn't manage to put a damper on the day with the castles moving indoors, the BBQ taking cover and us still raising a considerable amount of money for the club.  For more information on the Special friends club please visit the Special Friends website at

Saturday 20th May 2006 - Hanham Common Fayre
The weather didn't disappoint with a mix of wind, showers and the odd bit of sunshine, but we all still had a good day and managed to raise £50.00 for Hanham Folk Centre!

Tuesday 14th Febuary 2006 - Indoor Fun day at Emersons Green
Our first Bounce and Play day at the Emersons Green Village Hall in association with
Parties2do was a huge success. We took along our ball pit and soft play for the toddlers and a selection of inflatables and giant games for the older ones. The event ran for four hours, and the feedback we have had has all been very positive to the point where we are already investigating the possibility of running another one - watch this space!  In the meantime, photos from the event are available here.

Saturday 26th November 2005 - Fun Day in aid of Childline
On Saturday 26th November, we held a fun day for children aged 2 to 11 in Christ Church Hall, Church Road, Hanham from 1:00pm until 5:00pm.  We attended in force with our Clown Bouncer, Bouncy house and Bouncy Slide and a few of our indoor games. A selection of drinks and snacks were also on sale and all profits went to Childline.  We didn't quite have the turnout we were hoping for, but still managed to raise a reasonable amount for Childline.

Child Line is currently desperately in need of sponsorship while the public eye is focused on aid operations overseas.  For more information on Childline, please click here.  If you wish to make a donation, please do so through the childline website (click on the image above).
