PERFECT pitch: Now that the wicket has been put to bed for the winter, don't think that Rotherwick's cricket activity has been suspended as well!

The winter is not a closed season for us as we have two teams competing in the North Hampshire Cricket Association Indoor leagues, which takes place at Dummer Cricket Academy and will help to keep us in shape for our opening season tour to Palma in March.

If you are interested in playing, please contact Derek Oliver on 464567 or Chris Swift on 07717 495401, or e-mail cricket@rotherwickitw.freeserve.co.uk

LUNCHTIME vacancies: Whitewater School still has vacancies for lunch-time supervisory assistants to keep an eye on the children while the teachers get a well-earned break from hectic mornings, particularly in the run-up to Christmas, with not one but two productions to pull off this term!

If you can spare an hour a day or know of anyone who can - ladies as well as gents - please let the school office know.

WELL done: And a special thank you to Holly Barratt, who raised £4.35 for the BBC Children in Need appeal by selling Pudsey chocolates!

The school contributed a total of £129.40 - an impressive sum.

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard, and is now recovering from the very successful Christmas fair last week!
