Treasurer’s Report from Tish
Several items been purchased - cooker, toys and other facilities for Forde Class (approx £785.96).
Over £400 profit from Summer Fete…. Brilliant - Bouncy castle not a huge success this year - think possibly the castle itself was too small - excellent idea and a shame we couldn’t get hold of the one we had used the previous year - had to pay out for bouncy castle - making profit approx £354.
There is £1,100 (approx in the bank) after all payments are up to date - Maxine owed some for the Bibles for leavers.
Election of Officers
Maxine Bradley - Chairperson - nominated Becky seconded Vicky.
Becky Gentry - Vice- Chairperson - nominated Maxine seconded Vicky.
Maria Pritchard - Secretary - nominated Vicky seconded Kate.
Sharon Collins - Vice-Secretary - nominated Becky seconded Kate.
Kate Parsons - Treasurer - nominated Maxine seconded Becky.
Big thanks for Tish for being Treasurer last year.
Ideas for the forthcoming year -
Summer Fete still to be included on Sports Day to ensure we get as many parents attending as possible -
Offer parents, friends the chance to either pay for a table to sell their goods i.e. craft items etc - or to have a table top sale where £5 can be paid for people to see their own items like a car boot sale.
