TUCK SHOP OPENS
Your School Tuck Shop opened on 1st August, 1960, unfinished
and unequipped with the necessary refrigeration and facilities to cope
with smooth running, but, owing to the strong support of your
teachers and your own patience and good faith in the Mothers' Club
of the P. & C. Association, the ten days before the holidays was very
successful.
The profits from the Tuck Shop will go to the P & C. Association
for improvements to your School. As all labour is voluntary and with
your continued support we estimate these to reach approximately
£2,000 per year.
Your Tuck Shop intends to sell all the necessary stationery you
will require as well as (he lines already being sold and any sugges
tions for increasing the range of stock would be welcomed.
We plan an Official Opening to which all parents will be invited
when the Tuck Shop is completed and fully equipped.
