Today have a jam packed day of fun at Kirkcolm! We arrived dressed in our red gear, sporting some red, funky noses and some totally whacky hair doos in aid of Comic Relief! Overall Kirkcolm raised a whopping \u00a388.50 – all going to a fantastic cause \ud83d\udd34!<\/span><\/div>\n

We then swapped our red noses and red clothing for some costumes as we had a full dress rehearsal of our show in preparation for next week adding the finishing touches and finesse ahead of the performance of Wednesday.. the excitement (and the nerves) are setting in now, the countdown is ON! \ud83c\udfa4 \ud83d\udc83\ud83d\udd7a<\/span><\/div>\n
