A massive thank you to Dave for all his hard work over the past 7 years - Dave has filled many roles, including his current one as treasurer. This means we are actively looking for a treasurer to join the committee from September 2018. And we are always on the lookout for new committee members. If you are interested in joining the committee, then please speak to one of the Friends, email us at FoHS@yahoo.com, or complete the attached form. We have ~4 meetings, and also host events (film nights, discos, fetes) throughout the year to raise funds for the school.
