Drum Roll Please! The Myddle Multi-Terrain Fun Run 2019 raised a staggering £2,230.75!  We had a whopping 237 runners which is a new record!

I just want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to the 40+ parents, children and staff who stepped up to help out on the fun run last Sunday.  We also had a tremendous response from community -minded Myddle residents who were absolutely invaluable in bolstering our numbers.  Thank you to our set-up team, route marshals, our first-aiders, refreshments team, registration team and timekeeping/recording ninjas, not to mention the clear-up effort afterwards that went so swiftly!  Any feedback that you may have, whether you were a volunteer or not, please let me know!

I have a few bespoke Fun Run medals left (the ones designed by Eve in Panda class and handed out to the 3 and 6 mile runners) so if you would like one as a keepsake I will be happy to let you have one for a small donation! Please just ask me or get in touch with reception!

The fun run is no mean feat to organise and as this event is clearly gaining in popularity I’m going to be forming a small committee for next year’s event.  If you want to be part of it you don’t need experience just a bucket load of enthusiasm!  Please get in touch if you think this might interest you!

I am sorry that I have not yet been able to get the invoices to you for Sunrise and Sunset Clubs.

As you know, we have been short of office staff for the past 6 months and added to that, all the admin staff have suffered from illness.

If you would like to pay what you think you might owe, please pay via the Gateway.

If you’d rather wait, I will endeavour to get one set of invoices out by the end of this term.  I am hoping that this will all be up to date again by September and I thank you for your patience and continued support.

To achieve these reductions a number of initiatives will have to be implemented and the attached consultation asks for views about these proposed changes.
The council would like to hear from you regarding this consultation & would encourage responses to be sent to the following E-mail address by 6 May 2019:

On the last day of term, Friday 12th April, we will be holding an Easter Egg Hunt for all of our children at school.  Every child that takes part in the hunt will receive a small chocolate egg as a prize.  If you do not wish for your child to receive a chocolate egg, and would rather them receive an alternative prize, please let the school office know as soon as possible and by Monday 01 April at the latest.

On this day we will also be holding an Easter Egg Raffle so please remember to bring your pennies!  All money raised will go towards the Phil Jones Memorial Fund.

Unfortunately due to staff illness we have to cancel cookery club this afternoon. Apologies for any disappointment.
