DOVECOT PRIMARY SCHOOL FAIR

Congratulations to all concerned on organising such an enjoyable Fair
in school grounds on a warm sunny day,  Also for allocating a table for
the display and sale of Nanna Strawberry Stories. Several children were
very pleased to be able to buy one of these story books.

It was very heartwarming to experience the warm and excited reception by
many pupils who had enjoyed Nanna Strawberry's recent visit to their school.
The name "Nanna Strawberry" rang out  from all directions, such was the
excitement when I was seen behind my table !

My thanks to everyone who bought books or stopped for a chat about them.
I was very pleased to make a donation to their school from book sales.
I also thank Dovecot School for puchasing a full set of Nanna Strawberry
books for school use and interest and to Mrs S Buckle for her helpful liaison
with me. Happy summer holidays everyone !

GREENBANK SCHOOL FAIR

Nanna Strawberry had a very enjoyable time at the Greenbank School's Fair where
she was allocated a table to display and sell her Nanna Strawberry Stories. 

It was a treat to be so welcomed, especially by pupils who were quite excited to see
Nanna Strawberry there and came to greet her, or to call her across the hall, with a
wave and big smile.  Some of the children bought a second book, having enjoyed the
one they bought last week, and others were glad to have the opportunity to buy their
first one. It was also very encouraging to hear from some parents how much their child
had enjoyed her story telling last week and had told them all about it after school.

Sincere thanks to all staff, parents and children for their welcome and support and
CONGRATULATIONS on achieving such a clearly successful Fair and great raffle!

It was a pleasure to be there.

"Happy Birthday" too, to Mrs Jean Weir !

Nanna Strawberry.

ST MARY'S CHURCH, STRAWBERRY FAYRE

It was great to have a stall at this enjoyable event, Saturday 29th June and I thank everyone who
bought a Nanna Strawberry book.   The sun shone on volunteers and customers with occasional
clouds to help us cool down ! Teas great! I was pleased to have 15 customers, three of whom
bought sets of 3 books at their discount price, so £15 donated to Fair proceeds. I have since
received a lovely photo with 'customer' Eleanor, taken by her father at my Nanna Strawberry stall.


Love and best wishes to all concerned,
Audrey Wilson

HAPPY VISIT TO GREENBANK PRIMARY SCHOOL

My sincere thanks to staff and pupils at the fantastic Greenbank Primary School for their friendly
hospitality during my visit Thursday 27 June, for book readings to Assembly and year groups.
The children clearly enjoyed the Nanna Strawberry stories and asked very applicable questions.
My thanks to Mrs Jean Weir for escorting me throughout the day, and to everyone concerned
for the  lovely strawberry cream sponge cake given to me as a "Thank You".

Thirty children had pre-paid for a book, which they later chose from selection in school hall.
WOW!  Before they had seen them or heard them read ! £30 was donated to school funds.


I am  now looking forward to the Greenbank School Fair on Friday 5th June, where I have been
given a table in order to display and sell my Nanna Strawberry books, in case anyone would like
one after hearing the stories read.
