Mrs Tough to look into this. </p><p>As a Christmas fundraiser it was suggested by Katrina Balfour that a Studio Book could be an option.

Mrs Tough would make this open to staff as well. The possibility of having it at the school or in an alternative venue (such as the Guide hall) was discussed and Alison Reid to look into this.
