The Parent Council are organising the School Fayre which will be held at the school on Saturday 25th September 2010 from 2pm to 4pm. We are looking for lots of volunteers to assist us in ensuring that this event is a success.
We wonder whether you can donate some time to assist with setting up on the Friday afternoon, manning a stall on the day, or with pricing goods. Alternatively, if you work for a company which may be able to provide a donation for our raffle or funds, we would be most grateful. We would like to hear your ideas and suggestions too. Please come along to the meeting on 14th September 2010 at 7pm in the school if you would like to help.
If you have any queries, please contact Gail Walshe on 07774 225901.
