Yesterday it was our Sports Day! First of all I was put on gate duty with Gill Geisler. Yes our Brigade training DID help. We managed to turn away 12 cars (parents had been told not to part in the tennis club grounds). We also got 3 Land Rovers moved and one Mercedes. These were parked very inconsiderately over people’s driveways.
Then the races started. The children behaved well and so did the staff. The co-ordination was slick. We managed to get through nearly all of the infant races before the deluge. Yes we did get wet! The staff that walked the children back to school were soaked. Amanda, Cathy, June Gabrielle, some Form IV children and myself were drenched as we put away the equipment. We had to go home to change!
Unfortunately the Junior Sports day was cancelled and has been re planned for July 1st. Good luck Juniors with the weather and the races!
