The Cransley Foundation Events
There are currently a small group of utterly-committed and talented mums giving every bit of their energy and effort to prepare the most glorious Midsummer Ball for tomorrow. Our guests and Year 11 pupils will have the most beautiful night.
Only a few days past, the marquee was stunningly decorated for Wednesday’s Afternoon Tea, adorned with flowers, fragrances and fanciful gifts, with over a hundred happy guests enjoying friends and fashion in the most sedate and refined manner. It was a joy to join and be involved with - a sentiment I hope is shared by all those who were able to attend.
Since then the marquee has undergone a complete transformation to now be dressed in nature’s finest regalia for our Midsummer event.
I must name names - Janet Ainslow, Lucy Fairclough, Estelle Flanagan, Chris Rees, Heidi Nickson, Mel Mather, Penny Storey, Jo Taylor alongside the ever-present (my own dream team) Clare Holt, Kathy Matthews and Lisa Lambert have worked tirelessly to bring the events together. My thanks also to Jasmine Worsley for her stunning balloon-art decorations, to Estelle for bringing her angelically-voiced students to perform, as well as her own considerable vocal talents, the Knowles family for their incredible working of some recently-felled Estate timber and many more individuals that I am simply too ignorant not to have added to this paragraph of gratitude. I hope I can make up for it over the weekend.
I look forward to seeing many parents and families over the coming days, as our school year ends with the climax and the celebration it deserves.
