BARLEY Hill Primary school in Thame, is preparing itself for one of its most important days in the school calender. Saturday, June 30, is the school?s Fun Day and it promises to be much bigger and better than before.

Individual classes will be running stalls such as Hook a duck and Lucky dip, and there’ll be ?Sponge the Teacher? and the famous ?Toilet? game. (?)

With a shopping list including 350 hot dogs, 200 burgers, 280 pints of beer and 14 bottles of Pimms, there’ll be no shortage of refreshments to keep everyone going while they watch country dancing, sports races, tug of war, and test their skills with a team of circus performers.

Phil Evans, one of the main organisers, thanked Character Fancy Dress of Aylesbury for their sponsorship. ?Without their funding we wouldn?t be able to make this year?s event so special,? he said.

Gates open 11am to 2pm and entry is FREE.

JOHN Hampden Primary School Summer Fete – June 30 – 11am to 2pm – Loads of fun, bring your friends!

Brass band, bouncy castle, silent auction, pony rides, coconet shy, plus loads of other games and stalls!

TO mark Forces Day on Saturday (30/06), the Thatch pub in Thame will be holding a fun filled charity pole jam event with all the proceeds going to the charity, Help For Heroes.

?We wanted to play an active part in fund raising for Help For Heroes this year, and it doesn?t get more active than a pole jam!? said Frazer Sutherland of The James Figg. ?With so many guests and neighbours having connections with the forces in this area, it is certainly a charity that is close to our community?s heart. Pole Attack coaches locals of all ages to have some fun and get fit through pole dancing techniques, so it?s sure to be an afternoon to remember.?

The Stables at the back of the pub will play host to this charity spectacle, which will be followed by a fancy dress BBQ and disco, with the goal of raising

A band from Thame, made up of youngsters aged 13-16 years-old, will learn tomorrow if they are through to the finals of Talent Oxford.

Little Bill’s Big Band, who ‘wowed’ the audience at Thame Music In The Park back in May, will perform for the judges tomorrow, between 2.30-3pm at Templars Square, Cowley.

All the members of Little Bill’s Big Band are pupils at Lord Williams’s school in Thame, and rehearse every Tuesday after school. Jane Twyford, who is the mum of band member Ben, and who initiated and runs the band with her husband, told ThameNews.Net: “All of the band have worked really hard with attendance at rehearsals 100% every week. They’re very keen and getting better all the time. What is great to see is the real sense of teamwork and camaraderie that has developed between them. The TalentOxford audition has offered them another valuable opportunity to gain experience through live performance!”

The band has just made their first demo at Black Frog Studios, Thame. Find out more about Little Bill’s Big Band by visiting their website: www.littlebillsbigband.co.uk
