£1,300 Raised At St. Francis C of E PTA Summer Fair 2013

Spot on: Penalty Shoot Out Proves Popular

We were blessed with gorgeous weather for our Summer Fair 2013 this year. This meant many stalls were held outdoors and our outdoor events were able to go ahead. The fair is traditionally one of our biggest fund raisers and most attended events of the year. This year didn't disappoint as lots of people came through the gates and had a look at the various games and challenges on offer. The classes put on a stall which varied between pick- a - stick, Name the Teddy, Electric Wiggle and the regular Bottle and Chocolate Tombolas.

Outdoors there was plenty on offer including the very popular Beat The Goalie with Mr. And Mrs. Wooton doing the honours for the day (Mr. Wooton in the nets of course & Mrs. Wooton keeping a tally). A Netball Challenge was manned by Mrs. Lowes and Miss Lowes and our new event was kept busy the ‘Tin Can Alley’. We also had a Bouncy Castle, Face Painting and we put the dinner tables outside allowing people to sit down and relax whilst the children had fun on the field and spent their parents money.

It was regarded as a great success and many kind comments were made by visitors and we were delighted when our Treasurer counted up the money and found we had raised £1,300. A brilliant sum on a brilliant day!
