TLG Meeting Monday 26 March

On Monday, 26 March, we had the end of term TLG Breakfast Meeting. Thank you to Dr Carroll, Mrs Lea Walker-Franks (Director of Development) and Mrs Annie Forster (Cricket Support Group) for coming along as our special guest speakers. 

One of the main topics covered was the possibility of a large-scale event to be held in 2019. This is in response to the significantly reduced Government funding that will be occurring progressively over the next few years. A significant implication of the reduced funding is that co-curricular activities will be relying very heavily on fundraising in the years ahead. Accordingly, the College is seeking ways to boost fundraising opportunities and sees successes of events like the Gala Ball to be something we may need to undertake more frequently.  What form the proposed large-scale event will take has not yet been finalised, but there are a few ideas being put on the table, including a long lunch at Tennyson. 

Since this is an event that will benefit all Support Groups, it will require a broad cooperative approach from planning, to sourcing prizes and so on. The TLG, at this point in time, will be putting together a committee to assist and we will be seeking people outside our usual band of helpers who are active within their respective Support Groups and who are willing and able to contribute. As always, all help is greatly appreciated.

Minutes from the meeting will be circulated shortly to the people on our email data base. The minutes are a great resource if you are wanting to keep abreast of TLG activities but can’t make it to our meetings.
