FIFTY-FIVE people gathered for a fun-filled movie night fundraiser for St Joseph’s Primary School on Saturday, 26 July.
The event, which was open to the whole community, offered an opportunity for families to come together in support of the school.
Attendees enjoyed a screening of The Wild Robot while munching on popcorn, with plenty of smiles and laughter throughout the night.
Gloucester Rotary members donated their time to run the barbecue, with meat supplied by Avon Valley Meats, while popcorn cups were provided by Batter and Dough Patisserie.
“A special thank you goes to the Gloucester Community Shop, whose generous support played a huge role in the event’s success,” said parent and organiser Deborah Sheely.
“This fundraiser was organised by a dedicated group of St Joseph’s parents, with the goal of raising money to assist students with excursion costs and to contribute to ongoing capital works at the school.
“It was a wonderful evening enjoyed by all, and due to its success, the school will be hosting another community event on Friday, 1 November to coincide with the Halloween weekend.
“The next event will embrace a spooky theme – so stay tuned for more details closer to the date.”
