We are excited about our new website. Our aim has been to make it more user-friendly for members. Upcoming events are now listed on our monthly calendar pages.

From December, they will be distributed via a monthly Bargains Bulletin email to members only (first edition coming in the next few days!) so you can exclusively access those great deals more regularly and easily. The Bulletin will also include our regular noticeboard for you to advertise for help needed or wanted.

Being a school governor

Interviews by Debbie Warren My daughter started reception in September and this set me thinking. As a bit of a serial volunteer, I wondered what being a governor was all about. The following is a minor foray into what is involved, put together with the kind help of Janet Brewer, Catherine Smith and Alison Vaughan, who are all governors at local schools, and Norman Hamilton. Every school has a governing body. It is made up of parents, staff and members of the community as well as people appointed by the local authority and possibly members appointed by the church, depending on the school. The range of responsibilities of the governing board is broad; in recent months the … Read entire article »
