School Field - Opening of the Facility from May 1st 2006
Slaley is braced with excitement at the prospect of the School Field project actively moving ahead in the next few days!
The opportunity to use the school field again will be available from May 1st 2006! This will be on a trial basis over a short period but hopefully with adequate care and attention being provided, this development can be available to the community on a long term arrangement. It is a privilege for the community to have this facility. We are sure that the young people in the village will greatly appreciate this and it is hoped that they, and their parents, from time to time, will also take advantage of the wide open spaces in the centre of the village!
There is a 'photo-shoot' being arranged on May 2nd to promote this wonderful amenity. We look forward once again of hearing the sound of people having fun as they enjoy playing within the grounds. Even getting to this stage has involved an enormous amount of work from the governors, the school , the community trust, and the Parish council.
Permission can be withdrawn by the Governors at any time so the whole Parish should help to ensure that the grounds are both well used and well cared for at all times.
Slaley Baby & Toddler Group is always in need of new members so please come along to the Commemoration Hall on Monday afternoons during term time (1.30 to 3.15 pm).
Claire Lumley (673594) hopes to find a new key holder for the group by September, as this will be her last term at the helm, so please come forward to keep your toddler group going. It is a much valued community resource & helps the little ones get to know each other before they start school, as well as giving us busy Mums, Dads, Grannies & Nannies a well earned break!
Our next major fundraiser will be an adults 70's & 80's Disco on the evening of the 1st July, following the school fair, so please put that date in your diaries & search out your old groovy gear!
