2011

A massive thank you to the parents who gave up their time to take part in the Christmas fair activities. Your support is really appreciated and without it the events would not take place.
We had a fantastic turnout and I hope to update you with the amount raised very soon.

Santa's Grotto proved to be a huge success again this year, with more children visiting him than ever before.
I am sure you as parents understand that Santa likes to speak to each child and make their visit a magical one, however this can lead to extensive queues. Every year FOWSA try different ways to improve the situation and have already had suggestions on how we can make changes for next year.
If you paid for your child/ren to visit Santa but due to time restrictions they missed out, then please go and see Mrs Sampson who will ensure they still receive their present as Santa kindly left some behind.
If you didnt have the time to wait and see Santa and asked for a refund for the Grotto, FOWSA can only apologise for your inconvenience.
