Despite the very wet start last Saturday, the weather soon dried up and a fantastic time was had by all at the Summer Fair. We'd like to say a MASSIVE thank you to all parents & carers for all your wonderful donations to the Fair and support on the day, also to all the volunteers for your help. We could not run the Fair without you all!
