Bracknell

Raffles, tombolas, a balloon race and a small zoo are just a few of the amusements which will be offered to ex staff and pupils at Bracknell Whitegrove Primary School's summer fete which takes place on Saturday (June 30).

Ex Bracknell staff and pupils are invited to the school to join in the festivities and help celebrate the school's tenth anniversary.

Bracknell Cllr Jim Finnie opened the school ten years ago when he was Mayor of the borough and is returning to open the fete on Saturday.

Visitors attending the fete will be able to take part in the balloon race to raise money for the school.

Participants will attach their details to helium filled balloons and set them off to see how far they travel. The person whose balloon travels furthest will win a prize.

Prizes for the tombola have been chosen in the school colours of burgundy.

Christine Tsakmakis, Headteacher at Whitegrove Primary School, Bracknell said: "This will be a very special fete as it celebrates the schools tenth anniversary.

"We are delighted that Cllr Jim Finnie is opening the fete as he did ten years ago.

"We hope to see as many former staff and pupils as possible on the day."

Cllr Jim Finnie said, "I remember opening the school ten years ago when I was Mayor and I'm honoured to be opening the tenth anniversary summer fete.

"I hope ex staff and pupils join us for what is sure to be a fun day out!"

The fete will be open on Saturday (June 30) from 11am to 3pm. Entry will be £1 for over 18s.
