The 2018 Christmas Bazaar will go down in memory as something of a vintage.<\/p>\n
The new stalls (brilliantly designed and made by Paul Wentworth) gave the hall a professional appearance and proved massively popular with boys and indeed parents. The general ambience was frenetic (just as it should be) but far less noisy than previous years!<\/p>\n
The library was transformed into a smoothie parlour, a book shop, a garden centre and a TV studio by Alison Thomas and the Year 7 boys. These were the business ideas that the groups had pitched for in a proper interview process for the Tycoon Enterprise Competition, similar to Dragon’s Den.
