We really need coordinators for the following stalls - please let me know if you would like to coordinate:

What happens at the BBQ?
The BBQ is a fun night for the family. Here is a taster of the night....
There is food - hamburgers, hotdogs, vegetarian pizza, chicken curry, samosa and vegetable curry. Not forgetting our fabulous cake stall.
There will be games for the children - sponge toss, hanging doughnuts, and Top Gear Challenge in the gym, with prizes for the fastest person in each year band to complete the course. There will also be a couple of new games introduced this year.
There will be things to do - spooky stories, face painting, tattoos, art jamming. The Cheese Brothers will be performing in four shows in 2R. [6:30, 7:00, 7:30 and 8:00pm].
The Trick or Treat corridor will be back on the first floor.
There will be 2nd hand books in the staff room, and our ever popular sweet stall.
Dress code for the night should you choose - fancy dress!
Donations for the BBQ
- 2nd hand books in good condition - children's and adults
- And, on the day of the BBQ we would also be very grateful for donations of cakes for the cake stall.
