Mogul Restaurant Night – Monday 29th April

Is it time for a girls night out? Or, what about a curry and beer for the lads? Maybe you would simply like an excuse to meet new friends. If any of these appeal, please come along to the Mogul Restaurant for dinner at 8.00pm on Monday 29 April.

The cost of the dinner is £20 per head. This is for a set meal (excluding drinks) consisting of a selection of starters, choice of main dish, rice/naan bread and side dishes. The bonus is that it is a great fundraiser for us, as the Mogul Restaurant will kindly donate £10 per person back to our school.

If you would like to come, please fill in the form below. You can either enter as a group or individually. If you would like to sit with friends, then submit just one form between you. Please enclose a £10 non-refundable deposit per person. The other £10 (in cash) should be brought to the Mogul on the night. See Letter below for booking form

Following the success of the class hampers at Family Day we have decided to do something similar for Christmas and more details about this will be available soon.

Phoenix letter       &    Organisation Fundraising Letter Sep2012[1]

You are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting of FOBSA, which will take place on Monday 15th October at 8pm in the Staff Room. (Building in the car park by the main school entrance)

The aim of the AGM is to report on what money has been raised over the past year and let you know what projects and purchases this has funded. It is also an opportunity to let new parents know a little more about FOBSA and how everyone can get involved.

We will also be electing the Executive Committee for the forthcoming year, and we are looking for people to join the committee as we currently have vacancies for the secretary and vice treasurer positions.

If you are interested in joining the committee or want to know how you can contribute to the work that we do, then please come on the night to find out more.  Remember that you are automatically a Friend of Bagshot School and you do not have to be on the committee to attend. As a registered charity we need a minimum of 15 people to be present to validate the AGM so we’d be grateful for your support.

Without the fundraising throughout the year, the children would not benefit from the extras we have come to enjoy and expect. So please come along, wine and nibbles will be served!

Look forward to seeing you there
