19th November 2017

We had 60 tap dancers in our attempt to break the world record for the greatest number of people performing the same tap routine at multiple venues simultaneously (around the UK). 

The current record stands at 7,596.  In 2015 we got to 7,363 and were only 233 short of the record, and last year we managed 7,484 so only 112 short!  This could definitely be the year (fingers crossed)!

We sold 65 Tapathon t-shirts for £10 which goes to Children in Need (minus the cost price of the t-shirts)
We also had a cake sale and raised a further £115.
