To Community Fusion for providing us with volunteers for Friday's show. To all of the volunteers who contacted us direct;
Lisa Van, Helena Lester-Card, Joseph Cripps, Anneke Klapwijk for ushering on Friday and with thanks to Heli and Joseph arriving at 10am to help the first days backstage run smoothly, to Anneke for her work before the shows assisting with the marketing.

To Oscar Stockman who did much of our early graphics including our logo, to Sam Plommer for stepping in as the logo coordinator on the friday night and for assisting with model castings and rehearsals and to Nicole Ford and Harriet Gunner for their blogging.

To Ami Lowman who designed the flyers, programmes and posters, assisted with both production and marketing and was always there to run ideas by and give her opinion. Among being a marketing/production/graphics person for SFW Ami/ mai also showcased her 8 piece vintage inspired lingerie collection which proved a big hit and was one of the top 3 highlights of friday night from all bloggers/press!

To Highbury College for all of their continued support and lending of equipment! Namely to Kerry Ballard who has always supported me and to Jack Davenport for running around for almost 48 hours to ensure the shows ran smoothly.

To Warren Prior of Blue Lime Creative for our website and to Joshua Godfrey as Music Coordinator.

To Danni Hayne who helped get most of the volunteers for the shows on board and for being a fabulous Fundraising coordinator around finishing her degree!

To Natasha Hyde for assisting with marketing and fundraising and to Josette Decker for assisting with production, working as backstage managers assistant on Friday and as a model on saturday!

To Chris Boothby for being pro activ, and although needed to take a step back to focus on his own business never left completely and was always on cue to give advice and for being there on the days of the shows and working hard to ensure front of house ran as smoothly as possible.

To Maria Hazzard whom I wish has been on board earlier as she was a fabulous marketing assistant and backstage manager! So professional and organised, a pleasure to work with.

To Sue Archer for being there in the last few weeks to keep me calm and for when I was too busy, organise/ pick up what I could not, whether it be e-mails, posting tickets, arranging equipment etc. My Mum has been like a personal assistant to me, all as she would prefer to think of it, a Manager.

Last, but by no means least, Joshua Breach. Again, running around for 48 hours to ensure SFW shows ran smoothly. For being so well organised and getting it all done both backstage and on stage. I told him he had to compere 2 days before the show and he took it in his stride and did brilliantly despite technical difficulties.

All the thanks in the world, I hope I didnt miss anyone!
