Great Support at Games Night and AGM




The Friends were extremely pleased with the huge turn-out at the Beetle Drive and Bingo Night on Friday, which included the AGM in the interval.
There was some manic dice throwing for the Beetle Drive and an awful lot of dabber pens flowing for the Bingo. Lots of prizes were won, and it seemed that everyone had a great time.
Thanks must go to Mr Mulrenan who did a great job as host for the Beetle Drive and Bingo caller, and also to Mr Gray for the loan of the hi-tech Bingo machine.
The AGM is the opportunity for parents to hear about the money raised through events in the last year and how it has been spent for the benefit of the children at school. There were 4 new committee members voted onto the committee and a thank you given to 3 retiring members.
Future Friends events this year include Organised Mum Diary & Calendars for sale, a Cake Stall on Friday 22 October, a Bag2School charity bag clothes collection on 2 November and a Christmas Shopping Evening on Friday 19 November.
The Friends would love to hear any ideas you have for new fundraising events for the new year, or from anyone wishing to join the committee. Please email the chairperson, Marie-Therese at mtwalker666@hotmail.com
