Fundraisers Coming!

We're doing a final push to raise money for the school in The Gambia that we will be visiting in November, with several events coming up in the next month or so.

October will be a busy month and some of the students will start by holding Bake Sales at Parents Evenings. Divyani Chauhan, Amy Garner and Olivia Howse are doing a Bake Sale on the evening of Thursday 2 October, while Hannah Patmore, Sammy Lee, Chris Bate and Alex Simpkins will be doing the same on the evening of Tuesday 7 October. We urge any parents who are coming on those evenings to grab a tasty treat and know they are helping an inpoverished school too.

After that is the Cabaret Fundraiser that Lauren Davis' grandfather is going to put on. The event will take place on Saturday 18 October at Sheldon Heath Social Club on Brays Road in Sheldon and will run from 8.00pm – 11.00pm. We will be charging £4 per ticket, which will include entrance and light snacks. There will be a paying bar there too. The show will including music and dancing, with the a wartime tribute in the first half (including lots of 1940s music that your grandparents would enjoy) and going on to include music from the Shadows, Neil Diamond and some Rock ‘n’ Roll. There will be a little bit of more modern music in the second half and we will be holding a raffle during the interval. If you want tickets please see Lauren or call Bev Bishop on 0121 704 2581.

As if that were not enough, student Maggie Brina is holding a charity music concert too. This takes place on Thursday 23 October at the College from 7.00pm - 9.00pm. Tickets for this concert cost £5 each. See Maggie for more information or again, call Bev Bishop on 0121 704 2581.

Please support these events! We've made great progress so far, but there is more we can do and the money we raise will really do good.
