We were originally invited to collect at the store the week before, but due to our clubs commitments at the Multiple District Convention in Manchester, we could not get enough people for that weekend. Luckily, we were offered the following week, and were glad to attend, as we have not collected at this store before, although they helped us out for the first time during our Christmas Appeal.
Whilst the store is not a large one, as compared to our other Asda Store's we collect at, it was still pretty busy when I joined my son, Michael, for the last slot of the day from 2PM to 4PM.
It was nice to talk to the staff at the store during our collection, an advantage of being at a smaller store, and we were grateful for several tannoy announcements, telling their customers who we were, and what we were collecting for (another first). They were also doing a raffle which incorporated our collection, as children's names who donated to our collection, were put into the raffle, which was drawn as we left.
The picture below shows off our table, with the raffle plus our message in our bottle (which we give away free), as well as one of Lion members ready to start collecting.
Thanks go to to all the staff and customers at Asda, Daubhill for welcoming us into their store.
