Despite the weather doingits worst the William GilbertMay Fayre was a hugesuccess. The Fayre was opened byMillie Tomlinson (ex-pupiland now under 13 BritishNational Squash Champion). Simon Hare (lent to us by kindpermission of the BBC) was afantastic MC and kepteveryone’s spirits lifted byannouncing the variety ofevents and the numerous prizewinners throughout the day!! The maypole had to behurriedly reassembled in theschool hall and we all watchedin amazement at our childrenwho, after only two practicesessions, danced more thannine different dances!! One of our dads took on acircuit training session for thechildren, closely followed bya cheerleading session – allthoroughly enjoyed by all whoparticipated and spectated!!

Our “sealed bid” and “raffle”stalls were incredibly busywith lots of amazing items tobe won or bid for. When all the pennies andpounds were counted by aweary treasurer at the end ofthe day our grand total of£3,058 was announced!! A refurbishment of thejunior classrooms is a high

priority for this term’sexpenditure and the PTA arekeen to spend spend, spendand pass any financial gainonto the children as quicklyas possible. We have recently upgradedthe junior playground withball walls, play tables andshaded areas in readiness forthe sunny days ahead.

All this could not be achievedwithout the hard work of ourPTA, the generosity of parentsand local businesses and manyDuffield residents who turnedup to support us on the day. THANK YOU ALL.
