Friends of Metheringham School Update Autumn 2010

The Friends of Metheringham School had their second successful Summer Fair on 10 July, raising some £500. Although there was no rain, I'm sure the high temperatures put some people off from coming out to support us. We would like to say a big thanks to all those who supported us whether in attending or providing prizes for raffles and tombolas and an even bigger thanks to the Angels Dance Troupe, Metheringham Fire and Rescue, along with the Silver Sounds Band, and a very big thanks to you all for coming along and making the event feel like a Country Village Fair with a great community feel.

FOMS once again provided gifts for all those leaving Metheringham Primary School - they are spreading out among six local secondary schools. Our best wishes go with them as they move on.

Funds raised are going towards buying stage blocks for the school. Additionally, we are looking to purchase some pub style picnic benches for both playgrounds. Does anyone out there know of good quality but good value ones for sale, preferably locally, so we can support the local community.

Finally, if you are interested in helping FOMS in any way, whether just at a particular event or by being on the committee, please do not hesitate to contact Alicia Armsworth on 323431.
