FOTLA MEETING MINUTES 14/11/25✨
This meeting was to discuss the Christmas Fair.
- Santa to come into school for younger years children, like last time & older children are to have reservable slots during the Christmas Fair to visit the Grotto, which will now be in the new Sensory Room.
- A placement plan for stallholders will be drawn up by Jenny Fox (Chair). This is to avoid confusion on the day. There will be named paper put down in situ for stall holders to easily see.
- Bric a Brac to be accepted from 24TH November until 1st December at the office, with new stipulations. There is to be no broken toys or unsellable items that volunteers have to sift through and throw out, only new and preloved items in good, usable condition.
- Raffle prizes to be applied for. Suggested places to ask are St Michael’s Spa, Pottery Studios & good winter gifting prizes. Confirmed donations of unused LEGO sets, toys, jewellery and Sip & Paint voucher. All stall holders have been asked to donate a prize also.
- FOTLA volunteers shall meet on the 2nd of December to piece together hampers from donated prizes & sort through bric a brac - ALL volunteers welcome
- We foresee 5 school stalls and a Grotto that need manning and estimate a minimum of 6 volunteers needed
- Iona (Social Media Rep & Secretary) to make an infographic post about Bric a Brac being only usable goods and that volunteers for the Fair needed and make an additional side to the Christmas flyer dictating what we will have on show
- Flyers to be posted into local houses and posters into places nearby such as County Arms, Sainsbury’s, Malabar Community Centre, All Saints Church, Malabar Shops, Food Warehouse (and around school) & flyers sent home into school bags with each child
All in attendance were Tracey, Kat, Jenny, Pamela & Iona
