ST. PETER’S GOVERNORS – The Governors of St. Peter’s have produced a newsletter of their activities, now available on the school website under ‘Governors’. In addition to explaining what they are doing this year, they are requesting that parents (and past parents!) help to contribute to the cost of school projects. By law, we as parents and catholic community, have to find 10% of all school project costs. Please consider paying what you can to support the much needed school improvements that will support our goal of becoming an ‘Outstanding’ school at the next OFSTED inspection. The Governors are also holding an informal coffee drop in at the school hall from 09:20 to 10:00 on Thursday 7th July at the school. Come with your ideas and suggestion and just to meet us!

PARISH LUNCHES – The Parish Lunches have been taking place over the past 10 years and have numbered approximately 35 with between 70 – 95 parishioners attending each one. They have been very successful and have brought together people from all areas of the parish. However the present team are not getting any younger and although we have some new younger members on the team, we are looking for more new faces who would be willing to take over from the present team in due course. If you feel you would like to help in the preparation and serving of these lunches or would like more information on what is involved, please contact Geraldine Rider (835110/832283). Many thanks.

Also, please be sure to let me know if any of the entries for Parish Organizations on the inside back cover need to be changed (names, telephone numbers, times or places of meetings).
