The Rugby Team Bed Push
The Rugby Team Bed Push
Our rugby team needed to raise money for our new team jerseys. We needed 20, for the first 15 and the substitutes. That meant 95 pounds for 19 of the shirts plus whatever it would cost for a shirt that would fit our big fat #8, Patrick Zydyrko.
Now in America, they would hold a bake sale, with a cake walk, and maybe a kissing booth.
I’d been to such a fundraiser for our church on the American base. No kissing booth, of course, as Catholics aren’t allowed to kiss until they are married.
But kissing red-velvet cupcakes was almost as good.
If we were being honest, a kissing booth with Cathy Hughes and Kieran would have really raked it in.
But Mr. Longman, our rugby coach came up with a “better” idea: a 23-mile bed push, from our school to Warwick Castle.
