How can I get involved?
Attend monthly F&F meetings, anybody is welcome (see membership). Even if you can’t make it every month, it is an ideal platform for information sharing (and discuss any issues with the big chief - the principal).
Not everybody likes meeting, committees etc., but just want to help when they have the time available, that’s fine, we need extra hands every now and then. Please contact any committee member to add your name to the contact list, and then we’ll contact you when we need help.
If your company can sponsor, or supply products at good prices, please let us know.
Lastly, attend events or support projects organized by F&F.
Monthly meetings:
We meet on the third Wednesday of each month at 7.30pm in the staffroom. All welcome.
