Can you believe it PT Magnet readers! I shall be celebrating my 25th BEAN-A-THON this month!Yes indeed, baked bean devotees, mild mannered Barry Kirk immersed himself into the Guinness Book of Records with his wacky 100 hour half-baked stint for four days and nights at the Aberavon Beach Hotel, way back in September 1986!
Thanks to many numerous sponsors who made the full blown baked bean bath a possibility, we managed to raise £1,500 for a mini bus appeal on behalf of local charity - EVERYBODY'S GATEWAY CLUB. My, how time flies eh folks! Twenty five years gone and where has it all 'bean'!
Needless to say, that entire event changed my life irreparably. The concept of conceiving an orange baked crusader from another planet was the defining moment in Barry's life! Still going strong after all these years, and with all your generous help, we have managed to raise over £100,000 for local, national and international causes. Well done to you all! Dare I say ... another 25th may be on the cards! Nah! Most probably end up in a superhero old folks home with other has 'bean' superheroes! :)
