Sun smiles down on school fair
A COLOURFUL atmosphere prevailed at Whalley Primary School during the annual spring fair. Stalls selling a variety of goods in
many colours were manned by the chil dren.
Glorious sunshine attracted hundreds
of visitors to the school in Church Lane, who had the opportunity to browse around stalls selling toys, books, CDs and a tombola. There was lots of fun and games
including a bouncy castle and penalty shoot-out to keep the children enter
tained. The successful event raised the sum of
£2,000, which will be donated towards school funds. Our picture shows youngsters Robyn
Farrow, Abbey Cropper and Jess Telford enjoying themselves during the spring fair. (A060506/2)
