Mill Road Christmas Fair - Student helpers needed!!!!

Saturday 5th December 2009

Mill Road Winter Fair, Saturday 5th December, will include a new project called HATS!

This could be an opportunity for your students to compete or to lend a hand for an hour as photographers or general helpers. I'm sending you the timetable of the slots we need to cover plus details of what's involved. We'd be most grateful if you would pass this information along to any students you feel might be interested or indeed if you yourselves were interested in participating, you'd be very welcome.

If you are interested - contact Andrea who can forward the details to you.
