Review of previous meeting - A request for 'Pinnys' as stated in Novembers meeting, committee would like this order to go ahead, ready to be used for the years upcoming events.

Finance - Financial update was presented to the committee. Balance now stands at £1350.54 with £46.06 still to be banked.(This was monies left over from non-uniform day) after pantomime was paid for. A well done was quoted for the £34.00 raised at Rykneld Christmas fair.

Panto - General panto feedback was very positive, but it was felt it was more appealing to Key Stage 3 rather than Key stage 4, although that being said it was generally enjoyed by both staff and pupils alike.

Spring egg hunt - Leaflet given out to the committee for the spring egg hunt.Large bulk of the leaflets were distributed to Wendy, Michaela and Bridget to give out at Rykneld/Anglesey school and pre-school toddler groups.

Becky Ryan said she would notify office to remind parents of the event by text message nearer to the date. It was agreed to put notice up in the staff room requesting volunteers for the event. It was also confirmed that there would be hot/cold drinks & snacks available on the day. New date for the event is Saturday 29th April 10 till 12.

A O B - Michaela Gladwin questioned the time of our annual summer fair, it is currently on the school Calendar to be held on the 5th July between 4 and 6 pm.
