FOSS Projects
One of main current projects is to enhance the school hall. Last year we spent money on the hall’s sound and lighting system.Once the work has been completed we will also be paying for the new blinds fitted at the top windows. These will make the hall projection system useable all year round.
Other projects are always under consideration – these are decided upon at our regular monthly meetings. To give you an idea of some of the ways in which we spend the money here is a list of our current promised funds and some of the recent projects we have completed.
