CLOSE COMMUNITY EVENTS
A Warm Welcome A very warm welcome to the 2017 Lent term events brochure. I hope you had a wonderful break over Christmas and New Year and have returned refreshed for what will be a very busy term and year ahead. We are running the second Close Community shooting day on Friday 10th March 2017. Last year’s shoot – our first - was a huge success and many of those who were present on the day (and some who were not!) asked us to run it again in 2017. Please book early as places are limited! The next Business Club networking event takes place on Friday 3rd February at School and I hope many of you will be able to join us. There are so many ways to get involved with the Close Community. I look forward to meeting you at one or more of our events and always welcome suggestions from our members regarding new events. Our sponsorship programme is growing quickly. Have you considered joining this list of sponsors at Dean Close School? If you are interested in seeing your company’s name in lights (so to speak), please get in touch – it’s a great way to promote your business to the wider Close Community.
Graham Papenfus Development Director
