School Pub Quiz

On Friday 25th November the Parents Association held a Pub Quiz in aid of the School.  Our plan is to fund raise for new equipment for the Resource rooms, as well as fundraising to update the library in the school.

So firstly, many thanks to Stuart who was the quiz master and MC for the evening, he did a fab job of keeping the suspense going and making sure the evening went well. We had great support from local companies and shops for the evening with donations and tables that were sponsored for the night. We want to say a huge thank you to the sponsors who donated to the night.  We really appreciate their support in these hard times, and it reminds us all to shop local and support local if possible.  So let's thank our sponsors (in no particular order)
