PTA Spring Quiz Night

Friday, 30 March 2012 14:42

Our annual Quiz Night had arrived and eleven enthusiastic teams battled against one another to win the coveted prize of the Alexander Hosea School PTA Quiz Night Trophy and a bottle of bubbly, in our new venue (Wickwar Village Hall) and with our brand new quizmaster.

With rounds to suit all abilities, a heavily discounted bar and a superb raffle the evening flew by. Each round seemed to become more humorous than the last with many a competitive team or two battling it out towards the end of the evening!

Valentines ‘James Bond’ Casino Night

Thursday, 17 February 2011 10:36

On an extremely windy Saturday evening in February the Alexander Hosea PTA held their first ever PTA Casino Night.

With a ‘James Bond’ theme flowing, the school hall was successfully transformed into our casino hall and with a hint of Valentines it was beautifully decorated with handmade floral bouquets and helium balloons. Not to mention the cardboard cut outs of James Bond and his bond girls which started popping up after a very kind donation from the ‘Tortworth Court Hotel’.
