Treats galore at school shopping evening

barnby road logoCongratulations to Sarah Robinson and the rest of the team from the Barnby Road Friends Association, whose Shopping Evening on Friday raised an amazing £730 in just a couple of hours!

From paper flowers to puzzles, Father’s Day gifts to fizz, cards to cosmetics, there was no shortage of goodies to choose from. Not to mention the chocolates and cupcakes on sale too – because let’s face it, what shopping trip would be complete without a tasty treat or two?

The Friends Associations organises events on a regular basis – the next one will be the ever-popular uniform sale – and the money raised last week will be put to good use helping to subsidise upcoming school trips and a summer holiday play scheme, as well as buying book supplies throughout the year.

Their Chase The Rainbow 5k takes place  at Newark Showground on Wednesday 15 June. It’s open to anyone aged 5 and over but it isn’t a race so you don’t have to run…

You’ll be crossing the finishing line through a cloud of colourful, environmentally-friendly powder paint and there’s even a fun paint fight too!

Check in and registration will be open from 5.30pm and you’ll be under starter’s orders at 7pm. Entry prices are £15 for adults, £5 for children and £35 for families (2 adults and 2 under 16s), with a pair of sunglasses, a bottle of water and a medal included as part of the entry fee.

Register for your place here – there’s a 10 per cent Early Bird discount if you get your entry in before Saturday 30 April and a discount is also available for groups of 10 or more – call 01636 610556 to make a group booking.
