Sorry for the last of posting, I've had a hectic few months full of exams, sixth form work, helping out at Godiva Festival, going to Sonisphere festival and street-teaming at the Birmingham o2 Academy. I've finally broken up for summer for six weeks, which means I can have some time to relax... sort of anyway!
Godiva Festival was a lot of fun, I wasn't there to watch the bands though; I was helping out at the Zoë's Place stand. For those of you who don't know, Zoë's Place is a baby hospice in Coventry that helps care for babies with life limiting or life threatening illnesses. I helped out on the stand, talking to people about the hospice and walking around trying to help fund-raise. It was a good weekend (but very tiring), but the end total of money raised was £5225.36, and I'm glad I had the chance to help raise money for such a worthy cause. I wish Zoë's Place all the best in the future and that any other fundraising events that they do will be as successful as Godiva Festival.
I've recently started street-teaming for the Birmingham o2 Academy, which involves helping to promote the venue and 'flyering' at concerts. It's a lot of fun helping out at one of my favourite music venues, I've met some lovely people and it also means that I get to go to some gigs for free, which is always a bonus! I'm also part of the 'Online o2 Angels' which involves promoting the venue on social networking websites.
Sonisphere was incredible, I'll post about it in more detail in my next post.
It has been a pretty good few months to be honest, and I promise I'll try and post a lot more often now!
