Friends of Broadford: Coffee Morning Friday 2nd May @ 9.05am

We would be delighted to invite parents to a Friends of Broadford coffee morning next Friday, this is so we can introduce ourselves to parents who do not know us. It would be an opportunity for parents (old and new) to ask questions if they have. More importantly it will allow us to ask if there are any volunteers out there who may be able to help the FoB or contribute when we hold fundraising events.
