After five wonderful years for me as Chair of the FoC and for Amy Sarkies as Secretary, the time has come, with both our children nearly leaving the school, to resign our positions on the committee. We both feel that now would be a great time for a new team to come together to take the Friends of Crescent forward. 

To provide continuity Nick Brosnan will remain on the committee and will be looking for individuals to put themselves forward as either Chair, Secretary or in any other capacity to work alongside him.

So if you would like to get involved or would like further information please email Nick at treasurer@friendsofcrescent.co.uk by Friday 27 November 2020.

We have pulled together lists of what’s involved so even if you’re limited on time and can’t necessarily attend the meetings there will be ways to get involved. 

Both Amy and I will continue in our positions until Christmas and will be on hand to help work with the new team as they transition forward. 

So, please contact Nick if you feel you can help with this amazing committee.

Kind regards

More sponsorship money has been rolling in this week and our fantastic total now stands at £1,963!

This week as part of the Brass Band England and Crowdfunder National Campaign, #SaveOurBrassBands, Bilton Silver (Rugby) launched their crowdfunding campaign. The band, that many Crescent children are part of, is aiming to raise initially £6k to cover the costs of a fresh air ventilation system that would make the Bandroom COVID secure and enable groups to get back playing together. 

Supporters can donate in 3 ways:

• a straight donation,
• a specified donation in return for a chosen 'reward'
• by adding their own fundraising effort onto the page

Please take a look at the crowdfunding page at www.crowdfunder.co.uk/biltonsilver for further details.
