    Ring your local council events department or leisure dept. They might have vouchers to give a free swim to kids.

    Hi jockett!

    Yes, I have sent a few emails and a fax to our local woolworths just about half an hour ago and guess what!! I just got a phone call from the manager telling me that he will definitely give me something to put into the bags!! RESULT!!! That is great! Thanks for everybody's help with this! I really appreciate it!

    Do you have a Wilkinsons store in your area? Our local one is very good at donating things for the local schools so certainly worth a try.

    Aww!! That's really king of you! Actually I made a mistake, it's 85 bags not 93 as I originally said, so not quite so many! They have to be ready for the presentation evening on Friday 1st April.

    Thanks again :T

    I was thinking the same myself! Have already bought 100 bags size 7" by 5", I hope they will be big enough!

    Do you have any idea of what it is likely to cost at restore? I will have spent about £45 on friendship bracelets and fluffy and light up pens on ebay so far, so i better watch the purse strings! lol
