WOOHOO Sunday is fun day!
Here's all the info you need... Massive thanks to everyone who has helped to make it possible, volunteered, offered items, and all of you for coming along.
PLEASE NOTE FOOTBALL CLUB WILL TAKE PLACE ON SUNDAY AFTERALL - TIMES AS FOLLOWS: Nursery - year 1: 8am until 9am, year 2 - 5, 9am until 10am. Sorry for chopping and changing but Mr Knowles now has a busy weekend of football tournaments to fit in too. He will be at the fun day though so it's game on for the penalty shoot out!
If you want to do the 9-10am football and think you'll miss the start of the fun run then don't worry if you're a bit late, we'll still make sure you can do the run.
WHERE? Didsbury Sports Ground - bear left on Ford Lane where the pin is on the map and head to the end of the lane. It's probably best to walk as parking is very limited on the road.
WHEN? Gates open at 10 for the fun run registration and Bake-off entries. The day will run until 2pm.
Entry is £1, under 3s are free. If you're doing the fun run you get in free!
It's going to be sunny so bring your sun hats and cream, refillable water bottles, and a picnic blanket so you can enjoy the performances.
It's a CASH only event, and it will really help us if you can bring change and smaller notes!
