Making a spectacle of themselves

Instead of doing the traditional dinner dance, something aimed more at the parents than the children, we (as in the pre and primary school PTA ) decided to hire professional performance artists Ixigrec. A burlesque magic show. On a Sunday afternoon in late January. The 2 'comediens' performed their hearts out. They kept their audience of young children (aged 2 to 12) enthralled and giggling and clapping and participating, and the associated audience of parents equally enthralled etc.
We the PTA members did cakes and drinks in the interval (some nice home baking - scrummy squishy choclate brownies and sponge cakes and Grégoire's now famous poppy seed cake) and all in all the afternoon was quite lovely and a great success. Felt very old fashioned.
