Fund raising part 2 - The Fudge

Unfortunately, relying completely on the sale of eggs to get me to the Jamboree is a nice thought, but might take me a decade to get me there. So I had to find something else to sell at many fairs and events of which there seem to be many around the Christmas period. A while ago someone, I think it was my mum, bought me a sweets cook book. One of the recipes was fudge, and at the time I thought that would be a nice thing to do, everyone loves fudge, me and my family included. I gave it a go, and after rather a few completely failed batches and about, oh, 4 years, I think I can finally say I can go into a kitchen and whip up a pretty decent batch. Luckily for me, where ever I go, it always sells.

I have been selling it at my brothers school fair for the last four years, and have managed to build up some people who come back every year! This year I also sold a lot at my school fairs, of which there is one about every half term or so, and at the Victorian evening in Tring. I was lucky enough to sit on the end of the stall run by my old Scout troop, and I am very grateful to them.

In total, between the Grove school fair, all the stuff I have done at Tring school and Victorian evening, I have made over 200 bags - nearly 16kg! That's a pretty big stomach ache! Its one of the best sources of income I have for the Jamboree, and I am so glad that I have it. It is a lot of work, but it is most definitely worth it.


Apologies for the wait but it is, after all, Christmas!
