OLD CERDICS ASSOCIATION – URGENT APPEAL Calling all Old Cerdics and friends of Chard School. Please support our appeal to raise necessary funds for the school. One of the aims and objectives of the Old Cerdics Association, enshrined in the original minutes of the inaugural meeting held at the school on 1st December 1929, is for former pupils to maintain an interest in the school and help the school in many ways. These aims are being fulfilled to this very day but there is still more that can be done. As outlined in our recent News Letter, the Association has launched an appeal to raise funds for the much-needed restoration and ongoing maintenance of the School buildings where so many have treasured memories. To this end the Trustees of the Old Cerdics Scholarship Fund have already pledged the magnificent sum of £30,000 from the Fund to get the appeal off to a good start. However, the aim is to raise a further £10,000 from individual donations which would make a truly significant difference to the long-term future of the school. Please support this appeal in support of our school. Donations can be transferred online to the OCA’s Reserve Account at NatWest, Ilminster Account No: 15008266 Sort Code: 60-05-06 Reference ‘APPEAL’. Alternatively cheques, payable to the Old Cerdics Association can be sent direct to the Chairman/Secretary of the OCA Graham Chamberlain at 2 Heywood Farm Cottages, Snowball Hill, Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6 3LU |
