Saturday 7th December 2013 1pm-3.30pm
WEEK 1
You probably haven’t even had time to put your Hallowe’en decorations away, or clear up the fireworks, but it is now time to move on to organising our annual Christmas Fayre which this year is on Saturday 7th December.
To help us manage the donations, as in previous years, we will request that items are brought in on a week-by-week basis leading up to the Fayre. If every family could donate one thing each week we will have an amazing day!
Clear out your cupboards of all the new unused gifts you have accumulated during the year and also make room for Santa coming in a few weeks.
In this first week we are looking for:-
- Books, DVDs, Computer games and Tombola items. There must be lots out there looking for a new home. Grown up and children’s books in good condition and DVDs and computer games. Also fancy goods – unwanted beauty care sets, fancy goods, jewellery. Please also hand in any gift bags you have – these can be any type of gift bag.
Over the next few weeks we will be looking for donations for the following stalls:
- Bottles – w/c 25th Nov, (anything unopened!) such as wine, beer, miniatures or even champagne!
- Toys – w/c 2nd Dec in good condition please, with any boxed games/toys sealed.
- Home-baking – Donations on Friday evening (6th December) or on the day of the Fayre
Donations of any kind can, of course, be handed in at any time and also on the evening of Friday 6th December (until 8.30pm), while the stalls are being set up.
GRAND PRIZE RAFFLE
Later this week will send home tickets for our Grand Raffle. We already have some amazing prizes, however donations are always welcome, so if you have any contacts then please let us know. Each family will be allocated 2 books of tickets. If you require additional tickets please contact the school. Please return any unwanted tickets as soon as possible as there is always a great demand.
Please check the school website and Twitter for regular updates regarding the Fayre.
Finally, PLEASE DO GET INVOLVED, we still need lots of helpers for both the Friday night set up (6th) and on the day itself.
If you can spare a couple of hours please do contact me : Joe Shaw 07813 015 742, or at joeam_shaw@yahoo.co.uk We have some past pupils at secondary school who have offered to come and help and if there are more it would be great!
