You might remember that we entered the Accrington Soapbox Challenge at the end of August this year.

A great, if wet, day out for the Sweet Salsa crew on the streets of Accrington.

Unfortunately no prizes for us in the race down the hill through town but a good time was had by all.

We couldn't have done it without the help of many Sweet Salsa friends preparing the soapbox and costumes for the event. Thanks to you all (you know who you are).

Special thanks to Marcus Hall for the pictures. Transport provider/driver was Simon Fielding of Intack Self Drive - look them up if you need a hire vehicle any time. Also thanks to Keeley Sanderson whose employer Gallagher Insurance kindly boosted the total raised, matching the original £500 to make a grand total of £1000

We're not taking part next year but we are open to suggestions for any other charity event we could take part in so if you've a suggestion, let us know.
