Outstanding Dinner Money Bills.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

There are still several outstanding dinner money accounts.\u00a0 Bills are included in the Friday bag for families concerned.\u00a0 The balances need paying early next week, so the money can be taken to the bank before the end of term.\u00a0 You can now pay online if this suits you better, using the passwords that were sent out a few weeks ago.\u00a0 It really helps if large balances are not allowed to build up.<\/p>\n
