You Smartie kids!
From the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, first published Friday 21st Apr 2000.
THE Little Champions this week are a real bunch of Smarties!
The girls of the 30th Blackpool Rainbows and Brownies (pictured) hit it upon the sweet idea of filling Smarties tubes with five pence pieces to raise funds for the Macmillan Windmill Appeal.
And by donating pocket money and doing good deeds at home to earn cash they have succeeded in raising more than £140 for the appeal.
Pack leader Kathryn Mounsey said: "I read the Little Champions articles in The Citizen and thought this would be a good way for us to raise money for the appeal.
"All the girls were very keen and their parents helped by giving them money for doing good deeds at home.
"They all worked hard and I am delighted to have raised so much for such a good cause."
Face painting, lucky dips, tombolas, an Easter egg hunt and lots of other fun competitions can be enjoyed on the day.
The race is open to anyone aged over 13 and entry forms are available from Beaverbrooks Jewellers shop on Church Street, Blackpool and from Blackpool Council's tourism department.
