A. Just a few more please. We’ve still got space for a few more teams to take part in the PSA’s Quiz Night on Friday 1 February.
You don’t have to field a full complement of six people in a team: you’re welcome to attend with any number up to that amount. So, download and fill in your application form as soon as you can, and drop it into the box by the school office with the £23 team entry fee.

The PSA has received its first commission payment from Amazon.co.uk for sales generated via the Hamilton PSA website. From the site’s launch until the end of November, your purchases have generated £85.91.
Not a bad start since all it involved was remembering to shop at Amazon via the PSA’s dedicated shop or link.
However, we think we can do a lot better. Hamilton parents, staff, friends and anyone else you’ve told about this site, bought 120 books, CDs, videos etc via Amazon during those six months, spending £1,446.19.
Imagine how much the PSA would earn if we boosted that to 1000 items. It’s far from impossible: think how many books, CDs, toys, DVDs, electrical appliances that Hamilton parents and their contacts buy each year for their children, themselves and others. Of course not everyone will use Amazon or even shop online, but a good proportion of us probably do and might be open to using Amazon if the purchase made money for the PSA.
So, bookmark the Hamilton PSA shop and let other’s know about it.
The popular Quiz Night is back on Friday 1st February at 19.30 in the Lower School Hall.
Teams can consist of up to six people at a cost of £23. Of course there will be the usual licensed bar to help stimulate those brain cells…
Tickets usually sell very quickly, so complete the form on the event’s page and leave it with payment in the PSA box outside the school office. Tickets will be allocated on a first come-first served basis. This is not a secure box, so if you need to pay cash please leave it in the school office.
