Sponsorship boost

As the launch gets ever closer the replies are beginning to dribble in.
However, this morning, to my surprise, i received a cheque for £200! I have writtten a lot of letters to companies, with very few even bothering to reply; but a local biscuit firm called 'Farmhouse biscuits' sent me a cheque with an apology for not being able to come to the wine & cheese evening.
I have also just been to my chocolate shop in skipton where i picked up another £50 from ticket sales. We have now sold 52 tickets but am hopeful of another 10 from people leaving it until the last minute!
We should meet our initial target of £1000 from our launch, at this rate.
