Well Sharkie, we're off! Approximately 43 cars full of excited dumballers descended on Brighton on one of the hottest days of the year so far, for the big send off. The Sharkie's Angles car mingled with giant pigeons, a Hetty and a furry dog car to name but a few and the fancy dress was outstanding - Angels felt a little underdressed amongst the finery but have certainly picked up some tips for next year.

Wow - how cool is the euro tunnel! We all got onto the train in Folkestone, went to a party in one of the tunnels, shared Sea-Chel's birthday prosecco and 45 mins later popped out in France. Let the dumball begin!

£1000 raised so far ...
