OW time passes. I can’t quite believe that this is the
next to the last Mayor’s column I will be writing for the
Dronfield Eye.
This month has been a little quieter than previous months for
my husband and consort, Keith, and myself, although no less
enjoyable or interesting.
On 12th March, we were invited by a member of the Henry
Fanshaw School Trust Board to attend a tour around the
school before their annual meeting. The trust do excellent
work, which benefits the school, and I would like to say a big
‘thank you’ to them for their commitment in doing so.
Martyn Cooper, the headteacher, showed us around before the
meeting and it was very interesting and informative. During the
tour we were shown equipment and technology which had been
provided by the trust and is highly beneficial to the students.
It would seem that the days of me going to school with my
pencil case and exercise books covered in wallpaper are long
gone!
It was also a pleasure to meet and chat with pupils and staff
who were all very enthusiastic about their work.
On 25th March, Keith and I, together with Lee Rowley MP,
attended the latest Friends of Dronfield Station children’s artwork
displays at Dronfield Station. This was a great privilege for me as
this was the second time I had been invited to see the beautiful
artwork that the children had done.
The amazing displays covered topics such as the Great Fire of
London, rainforest art and scenes from a classroom window.
Once again, it was lovely to meet and chat to the children and
staff from Lenthall, Northfield and William Levick schools. A ‘well
done’ goes out to them all and I would like to suggest that if you
are passing the station, please pop along to see their work.
I’d like to express my gratitude to all the FODs volunteers for
their continued support with this event and for looking after our
station.
