What a glorious feeling, we're parking (or not) in the rain!

Amy, Alex and Jess met at All Saints Primary School to help them out marshaling cars for their open evening.

It was lashing it down and the wind was picking up but that didn't stop them cracking a smile and a cheery hello to everyone coming to the school.

Amy and Alex manned the front gate guiding cars into the carpark, where Jess and others directed them to the parking area on the playground.

The prospective students and parents are clearly eco-conscious as not many arrived by car and so there was plenty of time to chat with the other volunteers (mostly PTA members) about the school and how they ended up living in Maidenhead!!

With the start of the Headteacher's talk the students who had been showing off their school headed home and the marshals were relieved of their duties. However, Amy and Jess were not soaked enough and headed off to the usual Maidenhead Goodgym Group Run for more fun in the rain!! Alex was far more sensible and headed home to get warm and dry!!
