T-shirt competition judging at Summer Fair

The judging of this year’s t-shirt competition will be held at 2.15pm in front of the climbing apparatus in the Junior playground. We are all looking forward to seeing all the wonderful ‘Summer’ t-shirt designs that the children have spent so much time one. Good luck!

Pam Schomberg will be judging the competition. Pam Schomberg is a professional and highly acclaimed ceramicist based at the Cuckoo Farm Studios in Colchester. She makes the most amazing ceramics. She is also the chair of Colchester in Bloom 2010.

Thank you to Firstsite for donating a prize, The Swag Shop, and to Polo-Shirts.co.uk who, by giving us a discount, has helped us buy some fabulous beach inflatables and water fun toys.

Win the World Truck – for you and us

Win the World TruckHere’s an easy one for all of us. Enter the World Truck Argos competition to win lots of electrical kit, and you then get a chance to nominate a charity to win the same amount of kit. The deadline is 13 July.

I’d suggest putting in ‘Hamilton Parent Staff Association’, rather than ‘Hamilton PSA’ just to be clear. Good luck to you and to the PSA!
