Matters Arising:
Agricultural show - 28th August bank holiday:
This was revisited - for the second time - as it was pointed out that the Agricultural committee had helped
the school financially in the past with grounds & fencing and with the chickens. It was felt that the school
should be represented as it is an important community event. It was agreed that we should ask Mr
Brasington if he wants a presence there. Also to see if any parents would be willing to help - or take on
organising some childrens races during the show. In the past this has only taken an hour or so to run.
Kate to email Mr Brasington & class reps and see if anyone can help, as nothing has progressed since the
last meeting.
