Summer Day Out


Amesbury Summer Day Out 2013 (previously called Amesbury Country Fair)
Saturday 23rd February, 2013: 11.00am – 2.00pm
The Amesbury PPT would like to invite you to celebrate the end of summer with a day packed full of fun and sun - hopefully!  It will be a perfect opportunity to welcome all the new and returning school families, as well as bringing together the wider community.
Any profit will go towards the fundraising for stage 2 of the playground development, which is focussed on the design and build of playground facilities for the senior students.
As with all events, it takes people-power to make it successful. So this message is a LOUD shout out for helpers of all kinds to contribute to making this a great day out for all!  Anything you can do will make a big difference and will be greatly appreciated.  Below is a list of things we need help with.
Baking – Due to the success of the Coffee & Cake stall at the International Gala we are keen to do this again, with your help.  Cake boxes will be distributed for the students to bring home, in the hope that you will fill them with a cake/slice/biscuits/savoury items that we can sell.  A range of box sizes will be available, including smaller ones that may be more appropriate for slice/biscuits.  If you have a box size preference, or would like more than one box, please let Rachel Watson know by Thursday 14th Feb. rachel_w@xtra.co.nz or ph 477 3525.   
Helpers on the day – Helpers are needed for cooking and serving at the BBQ, selling other food/snacks and hot/cold drinks, supervising and coin collection at activities, setting up and tidying up.  We plan on breaking these tasks into one hour slots so that everyone can still get to enjoy the day.  If you can contribute even more than an hour - fantastic!  Just 1/2hr, then we would still love to hear from you –  The time slots are:
·       10.30am-11.30am
·       11.30am-12.30pm
·       12.30pm-1.30pm
·       1.30pm-2.30pm
If you have a preferred task and or time slot, get in quick.
