Summer Fair Update

Just to say a huge thank you for the amount of support that we have received as we prepare for this years Summer Fair. Last year, the event and raffle raised £3,500 so it would be great if we could match or even better this amount.

We could still do with a few more people to commit to helping us set up on the day and if you've volunteered to be on a stall from midday, is there any chance you could get there for 11.45am to allow Phil and Jen to hand over the floats?

We've got so many fun things on offer this year, we have the usual tombolas, crazy hair, face painting, nails and tattoos, BBQ, refreshments and cake stall, ice lollies, cold drinks and perhaps a few beers and then we have a few new additions. Alan is trying to get together a paint balling area, Charlotte is going to organise Tin Can Alley and Jenny is making a jam jar game. We've even got a couple of mums to put together an origami activity, we've got Rising Stars coming along with a couple of inflatable activities (possibly gladiator style podiums or flywall - whatever they do, it will be great fun!) There's so many things, it would be impossible to list them all, so you'll have to come along on the day and see what we have!

We are having a meeting on Wednesday 9th June at 1.30pm in the dance studio at Whitehill and Tea and coffee, squash for the children and biscuits will be available, so please come along if you can. Everyone is welcome.

We look forward to seeing you either at the meeting or fair and would like to thank you once again for your continued support.

Kind regards
PTA Team
