May Fair was a real sizzler

HOT DOGS sold out as hundreds flocked to Dursley Primary School's May fair in sizzling summer sunshine. The annual event saw parents, children, staff and visitors flock to Highfields, raising a massive £1,800 for school funds. Children enjoyed a fancy dress parade, with a theme apt for the weather conditions - the seaside. Headteacher Bill Church, who had donned his Mr Punch costume for the day's proceedings, said the School Association had put a lot of time and effort into making the event a success. He said: "I would like to thank the association for all the hard work before the event and everyone for their support on a very hot afternoon." A steady stream of visitors enjoyed the soak-the-sitter attraction and numerous stalls. Mr Church added. "We did an amazing trade in hot dogs, which sold out completely and raised a fantastic amount for school funds." Proceeds will be used to boost school funds for extra equipment and learning tools.
