Curries, water pistols and a duck suit were among items used this week to raise money for the Croydon 100 challenge.

The 14 teams are continuing to come up with novel ways of converting £100 into funds for local charities.

DMC held a curry-for-charity night on Monday. They also had a raffle with prizes including LCD TVs, digital cameras and digital photo frames. They have raised £1,648 to date.

Rivals PPF had a weekly bonus ball competition, as well as taking part in the Nutley Village Day on June 27.

They sold water pistols by encouraging children to buy a pistol and chase a man wearing a duck suit throughout the day.

DMC top the leaderboard, with Mott MacDonald’s the Wild Bores team in second place with £1,266 and PPF third with £546.

As part of the C100 challenge the Brit School is holding a music spectacular.

The renowned music school in Croydon, is putting on a festival, combining music, theatre and dance.

The event is a showcase of work by year 12 pupils in music and musical theatre.

The music will be based on a production entitled One Vision, New Version, commissioned for the school by a new academy in Birmingham.

It will include a string of pop hits from 1991, when the Brit School was founded, to the present day.

Mrs Penney said there will be a Michael Jackson song in tribute to the pop icon who died last month.

Among the musical theatre acts will be works entitled Title of Shows, Songs from a New World, Violet and Footloose.
