Our Day Out at Camelot Thanks to donations from Radio City's Give A Child A Chance Appeal, Radio Merseyside and the Co-operative Bank, the children enjoyed their trip to Camelot on Sunday 2nd of September. Thankfully the gods were with us and the weather stayed fine throughout. About 120 people attended, many travelling from as far as Preston and Winsford. The trip was not as well attended as could have been but then people were away on holidays and so forth. The children were provided with drinks, crisps, chocolate and £1 for ice cream, just to make sure that if the rides didn't make them sick, then we would. They all certainly seemed to enjoy themselves, but then so did the parents, many of whom had to put on brave faces (and stomachs) and appease the children by risking their lives on terrifying rides. One parent bravely went on a ride, came off green, yet wanted to go back on again (I shall mention no names, you know who you are Colin!!). The children rushed on to the rides, whereas the parents lamely followed, trying to think of any excuse, like 'I'll mind the bags', or 'I need the toilet', just so as not to have to go on. One parent made the ride operator unbolt a child from their seat because she wanted to sit in the middle 'as it was safer' and would not budge until the child had moved. A celebrity star spot was carried out as well as Wayne from Coronation Street was at the theme park. At the end of the day the children all appeared to still have lots of energy left [much to the dismay of the parents who were all planning an early night] so we tried once more to make them sick by giving them yet more goodies to take home with them. {Our thanks to Sainsburys in Walton and Ali's Store in Fazakerley for providing some of the drinks and sweets for the children}. A great day out was had by all. Tracy Brannan
