Events
Christmas Party
STP informed the meeting that arrangements have been made for a raffle, Weigh the cake, teddy stall, bottle stall, Basket stall, Grottos and tuck shop. A volunteer is needed for football in the hall and it was suggested that Mr Sloss should be approached. A non uniform day will be arranged by KSD to enable donations for the bottle stall. The Santa letters have been organised as well as reindeer dust to be sold at the party.
Fireworks
A surplus of £752.61 was made at the fireworks, with numbers down on last year possibly due to the poor weather. It was encouraging to see so many parents giving up their time to make this event possible. KSD expressed the view that this should be the last fireworks night undertaken by the school. This is due to the possibility of bad weather reducing turnout and the changes in health and safety legislation. It was suggested that Halloween could replace this and feedback should be sought from parents about this idea or possible alternatives.
October Ball
The ball made a surplus of approximately £1400 and it is hoped that this will become permanent event on the PTA calendar.
Treasurer’s Report
Main account - £2374.96cr
Minibus account - £6071.39cr
AOB
The PTA is looking for another event in July which could either be a Race Night or a Ball.
Next meeting 8pm 12th January 2010.
