The Swaffham Crier Online

Friends of Swaffham Prior School

Friends of Swaffham Prior School held a meeting on Tuesday 13th May 2003, where a number of points were discussed.

Our ongoing fundraising for the Pool area refurbishment and development of areas around the playground, had a huge boost following the Barrow of Booze Raffle, at Reach Fair on 5th May where the princely sum of £865 was made! Many thanks to all of the villagers that bought tickets and/or donated a bottle. This event has become a staple part of our annual fundraising programme and proves very popular with visitors to the Fair.

Planting around the pool area has now been completed and it would appear that the hedging has all rooted and is growing well. We are in the process of obtaining quotations for the ground works and hopefully work will commence in the autumn.

Our next event is the Summer Fair, this year on July 5th at 3pm (see separate notice). We are relying on support from the villagers to what should be a fun afternoon with something for everyone. (Yes, Boules will be making a welcome comeback!) Put the date on your calendar now. We look forward to seeing you all there.

Jane Blanks, Secretary.
