PKL Does Red Nose Day!

As well as being race week here in Cheltenham, today is also Red Nose Day, so we've had a day of fundraising for Comic Relief! Staff donated money to dress down (many of them in red or racing-themed outfits), and we brought in lots of tasty food to sell too!

In a nod to the horse racing happening just two miles down the road this week, we also did a special Gold Cup sweepstake, with half of the money raised going to Comic Relief and the rest into the prize fund. In fact, so many people wanted to take part that we ended up running two sweepstakes!

We're really pleased to have raised a total of £92!

Red Nose Day Fun!

There's been lots going on here at PKL today, to raise money for Comic Relief. Loads of staff members have paid to come to work in fancy dress, with some people taking it more seriously than others..!
 

The best: "Pants Girl" and Pippi Longstocking
The worst: Marketing Manager Sam reluctantly wearing a feather boa

We also held an office bake off, which really brought out a competitive steak in some colleagues! The company directors formed the judging panel, and entries were judged on both appearance and taste. With such a large responsibility on their shoulders, the directors felt compelled to eat as much cake as possible to ensure they definitely made the right decision. With such a thorough approach and great attention to detail, it's no wonder these guys are company directors - such dedication!

Following the judging, all the bake off entries were then put into a cake sale to raise even more money.

EDIT (5.30pm): We've just counted up, and the grand total we raised was a fantastic £115!
