<p class="MsoNormal">This half-term saw a brand-new Friends of School event: a
Comedy Night organised jointly with WGGS Parent Association. The event was held on the top floor of the
STEM Centre at WBGS and with almost 200 tickets sold, was a lively evening. We
were entertained by 3 professional comedians and our compere for the evening,
and with the high-quality acts interspersed with short intervals everyone had
an opportunity to catch up with friends over a drink and much laughter. A big thank you to everyone who attended, we
hope to make this an annual event. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Next term we will be running the annual <b>Quiz Night</b> which takes place on <b>Saturday 2<sup>nd</sup> March</b>. This is always a great evening so why
not get a group of friends together to test your knowledge and have fun whilst
raising valuable funds for the school. Tickets will be on sale from early
January – look out for details.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order to boost our fundraising activities, we hold a
raffle at many of our events. We are very grateful to those local businesses
who support us by donating products and services. However, we do really need
more donations and so would be grateful for your help please. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Re-Gifting Appeal –
Raising Funds from Unwanted Christmas Presents<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Without wanting to sound ungrateful, it is a fact that we
all sometimes receive unwanted or unsuitable Christmas presents. But you don’t
have to hide them in the cupboard – instead do some good with the gifts that
leave you uninspired. An unwanted Christmas present may well be a delight to
someone else, and the FoS will make good use of these gifts at our fundraising
events throughout the year. The Friends of School will have a box in school
reception during the 1<sup>st</sup> week back after Christmas next term, from 7<sup>th</sup>
– 11<sup>th</sup> January. Please donate
any unwanted gifts by placing them in this box.
Thank you in advance for your support.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, if you have your own business, or work for an
organisation that supports local charities and would be willing to donate a
raffle or auction prize, we would be very grateful. Please email <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="mailto:info@friendsofwbgs.org">info@friendsofwbgs.org</a></span><o:p></o:p></p>

– Bouldering Lesson & Climbing Session – Sahir PATEL L6N</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thank you to
everyone who bought tickets and to our sponsors, Sewell & Gardner. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This half-term saw a brand-new Friends of School event: a
Comedy Night organised jointly with WGGS Parent Association. The event was held on the top floor of the
STEM Centre at WBGS and with almost 200 tickets sold, was a lively evening. We
were entertained by 3 professional comedians and our compere for the evening,
and with the high-quality acts interspersed with short intervals everyone had
an opportunity to catch up with friends over a drink and much laughter. A big thank you to everyone who attended, we
hope to make this an annual event. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Next term we will be running the annual <b>Quiz Night</b> which takes place on <b>Saturday 2<sup>nd</sup> March</b>. This is always a great evening so why
not get a group of friends together to test your knowledge and have fun whilst
raising valuable funds for the school. Tickets will be on sale from early
January – look out for details.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order to boost our fundraising activities, we hold a
raffle at many of our events. We are very grateful to those local businesses
who support us by donating products and services. However, we do really need
more donations and so would be grateful for your help please. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Re-Gifting Appeal –
Raising Funds from Unwanted Christmas Presents<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Without wanting to sound ungrateful, it is a fact that we
all sometimes receive unwanted or unsuitable Christmas presents. But you don’t
have to hide them in the cupboard – instead do some good with the gifts that
leave you uninspired. An unwanted Christmas present may well be a delight to
someone else, and the FoS will make good use of these gifts at our fundraising
events throughout the year. The Friends of School will have a box in school
reception during the 1<sup>st</sup> week back after Christmas next term, from 7<sup>th</sup>
– 11<sup>th</sup> January. Please donate
any unwanted gifts by placing them in this box.
Thank you in advance for your support.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, if you have your own business, or work for an
organisation that supports local charities and would be willing to donate a
raffle or auction prize, we would be very grateful. Please email <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="mailto:info@friendsofwbgs.org">info@friendsofwbgs.org</a></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A big thank you to everyone who has supported our events and
fundraising activities this term, we look forward to seeing you at the Quiz in
March. Wishing you and your families a restful Christmas break.<o:p></o:p></p>

Many companies offer employees the chance to boost their fundraising efforts by 'matching' the money they raise at an event or through an activity, such as our big raffle.
The list of companies that fund match is too long for us to list here – most high street banks, building societies, supermarkets and large companies offer match funding, but these schemes are not exclusive to the big corporates. If you work for a small or independent company, they may be interested in charitable giving through match funding too.
Please ask your HR department or check your company’s intranet or employee website. If they offer match funding, we can provide the information you need and help you complete any paperwork to process the contribution easily. If you are able to help in this way please do get in touch at info@friendsofwbgs.org as this is a really simple way to make a big difference.

everyone who bought tickets and to our sponsors, Sewell & Gardner. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This half-term saw a brand-new Friends of School event: a
Comedy Night organised jointly with WGGS Parent Association. The event was held on the top floor of the
STEM Centre at WBGS and with almost 200 tickets sold, was a lively evening. We
were entertained by 3 professional comedians and our compere for the evening,
and with the high-quality acts interspersed with short intervals everyone had
an opportunity to catch up with friends over a drink and much laughter. A big thank you to everyone who attended, we
hope to make this an annual event. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Next term we will be running the annual <b>Quiz Night</b> which takes place on <b>Saturday 2<sup>nd</sup> March</b>. This is always a great evening so why
not get a group of friends together to test your knowledge and have fun whilst
raising valuable funds for the school. Tickets will be on sale from early
January – look out for details.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order to boost our fundraising activities, we hold a
raffle at many of our events. We are very grateful to those local businesses
who support us by donating products and services. However, we do really need
more donations and so would be grateful for your help please. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Re-Gifting Appeal –
Raising Funds from Unwanted Christmas Presents<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Without wanting to sound ungrateful, it is a fact that we
all sometimes receive unwanted or unsuitable Christmas presents. But you don’t
have to hide them in the cupboard – instead do some good with the gifts that
leave you uninspired. An unwanted Christmas present may well be a delight to
someone else, and the FoS will make good use of these gifts at our fundraising
events throughout the year. The Friends of School will have a box in school
reception during the 1<sup>st</sup> week back after Christmas next term, from 7<sup>th</sup>
– 11<sup>th</sup> January. Please donate
any unwanted gifts by placing them in this box.
Thank you in advance for your support.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, if you have your own business, or work for an
organisation that supports local charities and would be willing to donate a
raffle or auction prize, we would be very grateful. Please email <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="mailto:info@friendsofwbgs.org">info@friendsofwbgs.org</a></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A big thank you to everyone who has supported our events and
fundraising activities this term, we look forward to seeing you at the Quiz in
March. Wishing you and your families a restful Christmas break.<o:p></o:p></p>
