GW advised that as much as Snettertomn race track wanted to help us, due to their commitments and training ties we could only use the track off peak meaning the likelihood being that it would not be suitable conditions for children to bike in.
We will be looking to hold a Back to School Bingo in September and a colour run or similar themed event in the spring/summer term.
ACTION POINT – RW to check that September bingo does not clash with other village dates.
ACTION POINT – CH to do risk assessment on colour run
GW raised that the school had requested monies of there were funds available to cover the cost of a science team coming to the school to do a full science day for all pupils.
