The PTA Cupboard

Christmas 2010 was so snowy, icy and frosty that the Woodlawn Boxing Day Xmas Pudding Fun Run had to be cancelled.   

A few weeks before the Run the Woodlawn Parents & Friends Association, Poly Runners and other friends would meet in school to put a pudding, certificate and brochure into Start Fitness bags, making it easy to hand them out as runners came home.   
It wasn’t possible to postpone the Run to another date so Mrs Treasurer and I had to empty the bags; find, remove and find a use for any puddings that would be past their 'best before date' before Christmas 2011.

From Facebook Archives, again a day early.

I’ve spent the whole morning with Mrs Treasurer in the corridor and PTA cupboard at Woodlawn sorting out 1000 bags containing Xmas puddings, brochures and certificates into their constituent parts, and putting the puddings back in big boxes, brochures and bags into bags and back in the cupboard and the certificates into recycling.  Sweaty and aching!
Mr DM  More information than is required
Mrs Treasurer  Arms aching now - not quite the day I had in mind!
