Anne Marie from Learning Through Landscapes is coming in on 24 June to look at idea for a quiet area outside Otters and Squirrels class rooms - e.g. take up some pavers and plant bamboo to create a quiet area. Costs will be:

£150 for initial consultation/workshop

The current economic climate means that it may be more difficult to find sponsors for stalls/activities and donated prizes for the auction and raffle - especially from estate agents. Sponsorship has been confirmed from “Red, White, Rosé” (for the bar), “Wigwam” (for the small bouncy castle). We hope to get sponsorship from “Living at Fiveways” and “Preston Park Tavern”.
