On Saturday October 30th 2010 we held our first annual
Halloween bash in Cavron St Martin.

The event boosted our fundraising to help Madagascan orphans to enjoy a much needed holiday in 2011, our total now stands at 310€.

We were astounded by the number of people who wished to attend the event. But sadly, as it was in a private house, we had to limit the number to 33. Those who did attend were treated to a superb evening of karaoke and a BBQ style meal. Prizes were given to the best dressed children (all of them in fact) and adults. With so many French people in attendance we weren't sure that the karaoke would be popular, especially as we didn't have any songs with French lyrics. However, just as many French people took to the microphone as English speakers, the highlight being a group of 6 singing 'Hey Jude' coached with the pronunciation at times by our Sandra!

Our thanks must go to those who gave to the cause, and to those who donated even though they were unable to attend. Thanks also to Bob who helped with the karaoke.

The only downside of the event was that it wasn't until very late in the evening that we remembered to take any photos. If anyone else took any please do forward them to us for inclusion.
