Committee Meeting
Our next committee meeting will be at pre-school on Tuesday 6th February at 7pm, everyone is welcome to come along. We would like to welcome our two new committee members, Beki (Sylvie’s mum) and Steph (Henry’s mum) and also to say a big thank you to the members who stepped down from last year, without such amazing support from our current and past families we would not be able to run.
