Auction for pre-school

A CHARITY auction night in aid of Charvil Pre-School will be held tomorrow (Saturday).

The lots will include a pool party, golf day and a hog roast worth £800.

The auction will take place at the pre-school at Jubilee Hall in Park View Drive North from 7pm to 11.30pm,

In August, the pre-school launched a fund-raising appeal to help pay for new equipment for its 40 pupils.

This was just two months after it almost closed. Seven parents formed a new committee to prevent the pre-school from folding after the previous committee resigned, citing a lack of funding from Wokingham Borough Council due to an “inadequate” rating by the education watchdog Ofsted.



A new Ofsted report showed that standards at the pre-school are improving and it has repaid £2,000 to the borough council.

Tickets for the auction cost £20. To book, call Louise Burger on 07765 885785 or email lourobinson1@hotmail.co.uk
