A fantastic day was had by all at Leonardos, scores of people turned out to do there bit for the charity and take part in the many activities on offer for the day; face painting, guess how many jelly beans in the jar, splat the rep and so much more. The wild boys gave an impromptu al fresco performance live on air much to joy of the waiting crowds, they were joined on stage by Danny the kids rep and Emma from behind the bar who belted out a fantastic mixtures of ballads and party anthems.
