Big thanks go to everyone who...
* Donated bottles, toiletries, toys, books, teddies, cakes, raffle prizes
* Sold raffle tickets to friends and family
* Helped out in the run up to the event, and on the day. Excluding committee, we had approximately 50 volunteers to help things run as they did! That includes members of staff who went above and beyond their day jobs!
* Spent money on games, crafts, raffle tickets, bidding board, refreshments etc.
* Bought items from our external stall holders - if they made money they might want to come back another time!
* Bought tickets for ice skating - this was the centrepiece to the Winter Wonderland; the organisers said everyone was brilliantly behaved & they'd be happy to come back again in the future!
* Recycled their rubbish!
* Spread a little Christmas Cheer!
Many thanks once again,

We very proud to report that our Long Lane dancers performed marvellously at the Interschools Dancing comeptition at Holme Grange School on 17th November. All three teams danced their best ever. Our team Sparkle were awarded a very close second place while team Glitter took first place. Their attitude was fantastic throughout and their behaviour was impeccable. The parents were also wonderful, laden with glittery make up and bags of support.
A massive thank you to my Miss Penn & Mrs Rushent who have been teaching the pupils to dance over the last 2 months and also won the teacher's competition with a amazing score of 39 - well done.
