Bad Weather
In the event of bad weather forcing a postponement we will be using twitter and the Rosslyn Park website to post news of any cancellation as mobiles tend to go into meltdown with one number to call and hundreds of families en route. In the event of bad weather persisting this week please encourage your parents to check before setting off.
