Now the days will be longer than the nights.
I hope they are warmer too.
Soon the clocks will be moved an hour forward.
The kids will start bringing home reams of paper from school, encouraging parents to get involved with various fund-raising activities.
So why not do it the easy way.
Drag your carrom board out from under the bed, clear away the cobwebs covering it, find all the pieces and strikers, and set up a Carrom game in the school hall.
Charge £1-2 a game.
Hold a mini competition if you like.
Set a time limit if you must.
Say you have 4-5 games an hour, fom 11am-4pm that’s only £20 worst scenario, but the school will still appreciate it. Every little bit helps.
It could be £50 and if you had two boards you could double that. Ask to borrow them from friends, relatives or neighbours.
Or get some-one to sponsor them. They would be an investment, as they can be used year after year.
You could also sell samosas to people waiting in the queue. They’re easy and cheap to make.
It wouldn’t take much effort and the kids and parents would enjoy it I’m sure.
And don’t dump it under the bed again. Keep it out. Use it. Enjoy it. It makes a change from watching the box.
I just wish I’d thought of this years ago when my kids were at school.
Of course I had more energy then, but I would still have preferred to play carrom than some of the things I was asked to do.
