Newport made sure they had plenty of funraising last week when they held a two-day extravaganza in aid of Comic Relief! Hover your mouse over the pictures for more information and a who's who :)
As well as zipwire, wiggy, biking and onesie action, they sold bacon and sausage baps to warehouse staff on Thursday, together with cakes made by Connor Yalland. Connor is the 10 year-old son of Michelle who works in the office (she's pictured in the middle of the front row in the group photo). They also held a sweepstake to choose the hairstyle Jessie J would choose after she had her head shaved.
It looks like a lot of fun was had by all! A total of £82.70 was raised for Comic Relief.
Newport haven't forgotten the cause closest to their hearts either. Some of the above pictures also introduce their latest activities in support of St David's Foundation.
On Sunday, there was a 28 mile cycle ride from Caldicot to Newport and back. Saturday sees more zipwire action in Chepstow – a 800ft zip slide over a 250ft lake! Finally in May there's a 'onesie walk' across the Severn Bridge - a total of 11 miles.
Their efforts have also caught the attention of their local newspaper, who report the team has raised over £4,000 so far.
Look out for more Friday funraising later in the week as we're expecting further reports of red noses seen from around Smith News ;)

It looks like events involving onesies are this year's trend.
