Macmillan Coffee Morning 

A huge thank you to everyone that has been involved in making our Coffee Morning a HUGE success! 

Would be here for days thanking everyone individually but would like to say a special thank you to a few that without them it just wouldn't have been possible.

Sandra and Allan and all at Roman Road for allowing us the use of the halls and for helping us set up and clean up.

McQueens Dairies for donating the milk and their very generous donation

MDCG committee - a fantastic bunch of girls that have taken time out their busy lives to make it an event to remember!

Jean Boyce for donating the toys for the Toy Sale and Callum and Cameron, they could sell Ice to the Eskimos!!

Heather for a very generous donation in memory of Marilyn 

Alison Gibson and everyone who made very generous cash donations.

Everyone that baked, donated prizes, sold raffles, bought raffles, ran stalls on the day

and of course the people who turned up on the day and put their hands in their pockets for this very worthwhile cause.

We raised an amazing £2,000 for an amazing charity!!

So proud to be a part of this amazing Group, well done everyone!

Childminder Questionnaire

MOTHERWELL DISTRICT CHILDMINDING GROUP

MEMBER QUESTIONNAIRE

SEPTEMBER 2015

Please could you take a moment to complete the following questions and return to a member of the committee on or before Wednesday 23^rd September. It is not necessary to disclose your name, however if you require training it would help.

Thank you.

1.     Holytown drop-in is currently in the morning until March 2016.

Would you like it to change to afternoon?

2.    Constitution Aims & Objectives (available on MDCG website)

Do you feel this represents the group at this moment?

3.    As grants are no longer as big as before, what constructive ideas do you have for funding?

4.    We are looking for ideas for the Asda grant. This could be items we need, an outing etc.

5.    The drop-ins are currently £1.50 per childminder. Do you feel this should remain the same or increase and if so, to how much?

6.    What training do you require?

7.    What are your thoughts on offering family members the opportunity to take part in training e.g. first aid? This would be if there are any places available after members have had first chance.

8.    Any other constructive suggestions for the next questionnaire.
