How could we not mention Worthing International Birdman 2009? What a weekend! Thank you to everyone who sponsored our Carry on Doctor Team – we raised almost £500 for Chestnut Tree House. You can see our sponsor page and more details if you click here. We would like to remind you that the only reason Andy did not jump was because he was not allowed to for health and safety reasons. The plan was that Andy was going to jump in with the nurses, but he was told that under no circumstances was he allowed to … So no more booing please! In fact if you booed Andy, you must pick up the phone right now and dial 01903 207123 and book at table at The Fish Factory.

The good news is that Andy is entering Birdman next year and is making a craft. Do you have any suggestions? We were thinking that with Andy’s Greek-Cypriot background, he could make some wings out of feathers and wax – just like Icarus and Daedalus. We don’t think Andy will be flying too near the sun so he should be safe!

We have just seen some wonderful photos of Birdman on David Sawyer’s website. Click here to see all the fun action.
