On Friday, 2nd December 2005, the English College in Prague held its annual Christmas Fair. This year’s aim was to earn money for the construction of a secondary school in Northern Afghanistan.
The prepared stalls included goods and services starting up with food and refreshment and ending up with Christmas Cards and board games. Among the most interesting activities, was the Year 5 tombola where the main prize was a small TV set.
We can see music being increasingly popular among the stalls through out the years, as we had a Year 3 Christmas Disco and a beautiful piano performance by Year 1. Nevertheless the main peak of the night was a LIVE AT CHRISTMAS concert performed by the English College school-band “Back to Basics” who made an astonishing and unforgettable concert that included hits such as Jet’s “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” or AC/DC’s ”Back in Black”
We are glad that also other charity and good-will organisations such as UNICEF or Náruč had their stalls at our Christmas Fair.
This year’s Christmas Fair was exceptional by the introduction of a ban forbidding the sale of alcohol. Although alcohol was not being sold; the good atmosphere was a sufficient catalyst for making the Christmas Fair successful.
Finally, we would like to thank to all those who have participated and helped at the Christmas Fair.
Thank you, Your Student Council
