I like the BBC online pic: not 'angry' but how sad the father looks.

Brings a whole new dimension to contractual obligation. I hope it does go to court, as I'd like to know where I stand when I say I will call someone back and then don't.
TRT: it's particularly crass – and likely to a spectacular legal fail – as she wouldn't have been out of pocket, unless she'd intended to collect the cost from each individual child who attended the event.
It's been pointed out that the kid is too young to make a contract, and the contract, such as it was was verbal anyway (and therefore not worth the paper it isn't printed on).
£35 to get a claim into court, plus whatever solicitor's fees there may be.
Bring popcorn.
