Feedback from Spring Fayre (22.05.10) The Committee were disappointed that the Fayre only raised £374.08 (2009 raised £927.88) but felt this was due to the hot weather, three Infant pupils holding birthday parties and the fayre at Hemingford School. The Committee also felt that less goods were donated. The Committee suggested asking for donations on different weeks as opposed to one letter for all and giving prizes to those making the most donations. Another suggestion was to make classes responsible for collecting different items. The Committee felt a poster competition may help as would promoting the Fayre in assembly more frequently. 12.
