Friends of Spurcroft - Public

Last frozen treat sale of this school year! Cash only, Friday - 3:15pm (no earlier please - we will be there from 3pm but we do need time to set up and make sure our wonderful year 5 helpers are in place!).

There will be a selection of lollies and ice pops to choose from. Its looking like a really warm day, we appreciate your patience whilst we work to serve everybody as quickly as possible 😊

It’s Friday so that means frozen treats for 50p again! Cash only please.

Exhaustion will not stop the ice pop shop, but a lack of ‘ice’ could 😭

Due to unforeseen circumstances the ice pop shop will, for today only, be selling ice lollies. Same price, still 50p each, cash only. A small amount of ice pops will be available to those who prefer that option. Alternatives are rocket lollies and fruit spilts. Packaging will be available at the sale detailing ingredients/allergen listing.

Sales will open at 3:15.

We apologise for the last minute change but we know the children look forward to this end of week treat and we didn’t want to disappoint.

Are we still exhausted from the summer fayre? Yep! Will that stop us from opening the ice pop shop? Nope!

Ice pops at the pavilion after school tomorrow - 50p per pop, cash only please!

Thank you for your patience in the pop shop queue. Our pop shop stall is run by the children and they are doing a fantastic job!

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for our summer fayre today! The sun shone, the BBQ sizzled, the ice creams were licked, the games played and the prizes won.

Thank you as always to the simply marvellous Friends of Spurcroft team who did an amazing job of preparing and delivering a fantastic summer fayre.

Thank you to all the volunteers that supported in anyway in preparation for or during our day.

Thank you to Chancellors Group of Estate Agents for their continued support and sponsorship.

Thank you to the committee who spent countless hours preparing for today.

Thank you to you - the families that support us event after event. We couldn't do it without you and we hope you had the best day with us - we did!

Enjoy the rest of the summer, and your PTA will be back next year!

Ice pop shop is open again today from
3:15 at the Pavilion! 50p a ‘pop’. Cash wherever possible please as we don’t want to keep you waiting any longer than necessary and the card reader really slows the process down.

We said it and we meant it - come rain or shine, ice pops on sale for 50p at the Pavillion after school! BYO umbrellas 😂

The weather may not want to make its mind up but here at FoS HQ we have decided that it is summer and we shall, therefore, act accordingly!

The Ice Pop Shop will be open at the pavilion after school from 3:15 every Friday until the end of term starting this week with ice pops priced at 50p each. Card machine will be available but cash would help us to serve as many of you as possible, as quickly as possible! We are making use of the pavilion rather than our usual spot at the back gate so that we can continue even if the unsettled weather throws us a little drizzle/snow 😂

Please pop us a message if you would be happy to help run the shop for 20 minutes after school on a Friday, or if you would be able to arrive for pickup 15 minutes early just to help us put out our table and treats!

We desperately need some more addresses, if you would be willing to have a sign at your home, please get in touch! 🪧😎
