Good afternoon Parents,

As you are probably aware the PTA are constantly fundraising for new resources for our school, which in turn benefits our children.

We have decided to run a silent auction. The concept is; you bid blindly on an auction lot/s and if your bid is the highest then you will secure that lot.However, if there is more than one bid of the same value, the first bid in will win the lot! Make sure you get your bid in FIRST!

There are many ways in which you can bid - at the Bake Sale on Friday the 9th February or at the Pancake Sale on Tuesday the 13th February,via Facebook/Messenger (Lindsey Jones) or you can email me at .

Please find the lots below. There is an additional sheet which you can fill in and return to the teacher, no later than Tuesday 13th February. Please put in an envelope and mark SILENT AUCTION. You can also bring to the Bake sale and pop into the box.

If you are successful at winning a lot, then payment is to be made no later than the 28th February by Cash or Cheque. Cheques are to be made payable to Sketty School PTA Association.

We have taken time to try and source lots that will be of use; whether that be as presents for Valentine’s, Mother’s Day or a Haircut, Venue for your child’s party, Supermarket vouchers, etc. Therefore, part of your weekly/monthly budget.
