No one was charged for a piece of the birthday cake. It was free. I am the Darwin co-ordinator for Shrewsbury and was present at all the events yesterday. If you were charged, it was not by anyone from the organising team.

funny, We never paid for piece of cake, nor the people in front of us!!!!!! And I am sure the school children weren’t charged.
