THE Friends of Greenfylde School have been celebrating after their annual barbecue cooked up more than £2,000.

The weather was superb for the annual event and encouraged many families and neighbours from the Ilminster community to join the fun which included stalls, games and entertainment from the Gibbins Family Band. The school’s country dancing group also performed during the evening including a final dance where many of the adults were encouraged to join in with the children.

A spokesman said: “The evening raised over £2,000 for the Friends’ work and thanks are due to all of the committee, those who helped and the generous donations from the many businesses in Ilminster.”
