Children in Need

Hello from Ocean Village,

Even though Ocean Village has just finished a busy Atlantic crossing to the Caribbean and commenced our first Caribbean ‘Beaches & Boardwalks’ cruise, we managed to put time aside to plan and organise a charity event for BBC’s Children in Need Appeal.
The event was carried over 2 days and featured some great events including:
· Art ware auction of our passengers children pictures,
· Sale of Ocean Village flip flops
· Guess the name of the Teddy
· A sponsored spin-a-long on a bike
· Slippery pole competition
· A main auction which included a sail away on the bridge with bubbly and an engine control
room visit along with dine with an officer
· Raffle
The Ship’s Company supported the event by dressing up as Little Brittan Characters and we even had Paddington bear helping us out as Pudsey was busy in the UK.

We managed to raise a fantastic total of £3604.80, which shows a great demonstration of team work and commitment from all departments to ensure that the whole event was successful.
The above picture shows two couples with Captain Hutley on the sail away, which raised a total of £750 alone.

Alyn Baker,

Hotel Director, Ocean Village
