At the Car Wash

Sunday 13th June saw the Hungary Wetfoot team arrive at All Souls Church at 8.45am (so early!), barely awake, but ready and willing to wash people's cars for them whilst they were in church.

Agi and I were placed in the rotunda, so when everyone came past us, they heard the shout, "do you want your car washed,?". Some did and some didn't, altogether we washed 32 cars, most of them were parked near the church but one person parked in Cleveland Street and we had to walk there and wash his car.... but hey it was all worth it in the end, as we raised £700 (including gift aid).

Am sure people walking and driving past Langham Place/Riding Street that day were wondering what we were doing - I think some of the tourists on the big red buses thought it was a tourist attraction, cos they were taking pictures of us!

There was one car, which was so caked in dirt that it took Ava and Jan one hour to wash... hope the owners appreciated the time and hard work put into it! Did they do a good job, judge for yourself with the before and after pictures below:

Everyone seemed very appreciative for the work that we did: one person said "You guys did an excellent job yesterday ! It hasn’t been as clean as that for ages" - so there you go. Hard work for those washing cars and a clean car for those sitting in church whilst car was being washed.....
