Summer Fun Eveneing
Congratulations and thanks to our dedicated PTA for organising Friday’s ‘Summer Fun’ event. The evening was enjoyed by all who attended – staff, families and friends of the school. It was especially good to see so many of our past pupils, who not only attended, they also helped!
The staff organised ‘games events’ outside on the field. Our new canopy became the ‘place to be’ with the bar, the ‘best barbeque in town’ (comment made on the night) and a cafe serving tea and coffee. Brookside parents and children again amazed us with generous donations of bottles/sweets for our famous tombolas – thank you to all. We also had a cake stall including biscuits and cakes iced by our own children, our famous Bran Tubs, a tattoo stall, ‘trash and treasure’ stall, home-made chutneys, second-hand books, guess the weight of the cake (winner – Mrs Bollington), guess the name of the dog (which was ‘Biscuit’ won by a very excited Mrs Bowden!), a fantastic teddy tombola with all new teddies, dogs, lions etc which was only £2 a go and there was a prize every time! The sparkly face painting was the best ever – unbelievable!
The final highlight of the night was thanks to Mr Aherne who organised a very successful Karaoke for children and Mums and Dads. Wow! We all enjoyed the singing and shared the enthusiasm of those who took part – a must do event in the future. Brookside has definitely got talent!
Our raffle with record-breaking prizes this year was won by: First prize – Patio table and chairs donated by www.thegardencentre.co.uk – won by Lucy’s Mum in Reception class. Second prize – Kindle – won by Athena and Matthew’s Mum. Many other incredible prizes were also won on the night. My thanks to all who donated prizes so generously.
The success of the evening was evident for all to see: a happy atmosphere, enjoyment, enthusiasm, fun and a great deal of laughter from parents, staff, families and friends of the school. All of this PLUS fundraising for our children. Our thanks to all of the Committee Members who worked so hard organising the event, giving up their own time to collect food and buy in everything that was needed and for using their initiative to forward plan to ensure that the whole evening ran so successfully. Our barbeque experts worked tirelessly and professionally to feed us all. Our staff gladly helped out and the team work with so many parents who gave up time to run stalls was outstanding – thank you to you all.
A happy fun event – very successful and well-supported. Brookside thrives on its partnership with its community and parents. My thanks to everyone for making Friday’s Summer Fun Event such an enjoyable evening for all.
