Karen sent out a Wigadoo invite to see who was interested in escaping the city for a weekend. She needed at least nine people to pledge £95 by the end of the week to be able to book the cottage.
By Friday she had ten people signed up and was able to confirm to everyone she was going to book the cottage.
She ended up collecting a bit less than planned as the group ended up with more people than she'd expected.
The money went into an online event account which came with its own virtual prepaid MasterCard®. She used it to pay for the cottage online and transferred the money for the food kitty to her bank account so she could cover the supermarket shop.
Everyone had a really great time! So much so that they've already booked the next one!
