SCHOOL Friends: The Friends of Hatch Beauchamp Primary School raised £890 at their Christmas Fayre in the Village Hall – an excellent effort which will be used to fund extras for pupils during 2009. The children themselves devised various games and stalls to attract visitors, while drawn themselves to a yummy chocolate fountain. Mulled wine was the adult favourite – but all enjoyed the visit of Father Christmas. New head teacher Deborah Barrett was delighted by the response and thanks Louise Pearce and her committee of parents who worked hard to make it fun as well as rewarding.
