Back by popular demand: following the highly successful event on 10 March, a further quiz – this time at The Swan – will be held on Friday 20 April to raise funds for the Great Shefford Flood Alleviation Association (click on link for details).

Celebrated local quizmaster Martin Smith will once again be hosting the event and another great evening is in prospect. The March event was sold out so don’t delay – reserve a table at The Swan, particularly if you want to eat first.

Tickets cost £5 per head (£3 of which will go to the GSFAA). Maximum six people per team.

There will a buffet from 6.30 to 7.30, the cost for which is £15 (includes your quiz ticket). This must be pre-booked by contacting The Swan. If any tickets for the quiz are still available, these will be on sale on the night. Entry to The Swan that evening will be for ticket-holders only.

Food will be served up until the start time of 8pm.

We are doing a general tidy and clean of the outside space of Hungerford Primary School and anybody attending the school or in the local community is very welcome – we are grateful for your help. No need to have a direct relation to the school. just turn up and stay as long or as little time as people would can offer. We will be providing refreshments.

Children are welcome also, this is a family event. We will be doing “rock painting” and also flower planting for the children.

We are looking for the following donations:

– any plants or seeds or compost (no poisonous plants or any that can irritate the skin but otherwise anything to add to hanging baskets / raised beds / vegetable seeds / border plants)

– Buckets, gardening gloves and any gardening tools for adults and children, forks, spades, hand trowels etc.

– treated wood or decking so we can make planters.

– Paint brushes and coloured outdoor paint for wood.

– Roofing felt to fix playhouses and clear perspex for windows.

Please call 07765 708432 to arrange collection or donations can be left in reception within school hours.
