Pre-school appeal for clothes and wellies

Once again the Pre-School are planning to raise funds with the bags2school scheme. They are appealing for donations of good quality clothes, shoes, bags and curtains.

These should be left in bin bags outside the Pre-School in Fir Lane on Friday 21st November between 8.15 and 10.00am. The donations are collected and recycled by the bags2school organisation. The more donations there are, the more money for the Pre-School.

You may have seen the colourful array of children’s wellies hanging from the fence around the Pre-School. And if you look closely you will see that there are flowers poking out the top of the wellies too.

The plan is to have flowering wellies hanging all along the fence – but they need more of them. So please, if you have any small colourful children’s wellies you no longer need, pop them down to the Pre-School. If no one’s there, you can just leave them outside the door.

A musical evening with Inspector Morse

After the concert, dinner will be served in the college dining hall where the speaker will be Colin Dexter, the author and creator of Inspector Morse. Dinner will be followed by a charity auction.

This event is organised by the Thames Valley region of the Lord’s Taverners and will take place on Friday, 26th September starting at 6.45pm. The cost is £80 per person for non-Taverners.
