Teddy Bear Treasure Hunt for Children in Need


Some of the Town Council staff organised a treasure hunt in Victoria Park to raise money for the BBC Children in Need appeal. Sue, Mags, Helen and Sue dressed up as Goldilocks and the three bears and hid Pudsey Bear cut outs all around the park for pre school children to find.

The weather was pretty awful - there were a few sunny spells, but then the rain set in with a vengeance. Amazingly they still had over 40 children doing the treasure hunt, mainly from the adjacent Victoria Park Nursery. The rain certainly didn't dampen the childrens enthusiasm, but apparently the adults weren't so keen! I was most impressed with Goldilocks and the three bears for sticking it out for nearly four hours - I hope they do it again, but maybe in the summer!
