<strong>THE</strong> <strong>SUMMER</strong> FAIR<br />

<strong>Millthorpe</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s first “Nearly” Summer<br />

Holiday Fair took place on Saturday 7 July – it saw<br />

the school site being taken over by an arts and<br />

crafts fair, a falconry display, live music, a<br />

barbeque, rugby taster sessions, and all manner<br />

of stalls including summer favourites such as<br />

‘splat the rat’ and a coconut shy. The event raised<br />

over £1300 but Trevor Burton was keen to point<br />

out “it is not just or mostly about the money.<br />

What we achieved on Saturday was a really great<br />

demonstration of community and fun.” Adrian<br />

Lower, the head of the Friends of <strong>Millthorpe</strong> PTA<br />

commented that “I think we took huge strides to<br />

making <strong>Millthorpe</strong> less of "the place where the<br />

kids go to school" and more towards a place<br />

where people want to go and associate with fun<br />

things to do.” An enormous thanks to all who<br />

organised and supported the occasion.
