Parent Teacher Association.
Conisbrough Station Road School parent teacher Association hold their annual summer fayre in the school playground on July 7th.
Entertainment will include a children’s fancy dress competition, sideshows and various novelty items. This fayre will be concluded by a beetle drive.
The organisers are hoping to have the same success as last year when £30 was raised.
The school rounders team are enjoying a successful season and their unbeaten record, established last year, is still intact.
