Burns Supper \u2013 Friday 24th<\/sup> January at 6.30pm in the Village Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n

A message from the Parent Council:<\/p>\n

“We are delighted to confirm that the Burns Night is a \u201csell out\u201d. Unfortunately, however, due to the level of demand, it has not been possible to accommodate all requests for tickets. This is due to restrictions set to comply with fire regulations and insurance provisions and is completely outwith our control. You will find a slip in your child\u2019s bag today confirming the number of tickets your family has been allocated. If for any reason you are not able to use all or part of your ticket allocation please let the school know as soon as possible as there is a waiting list for tickets.<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

It will be a great night and we look forward to see you there.<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n
