WOW! What an amazing day we had on Saturday. Everyone I’ve spoken to has raved about the great day they had, which could not have been possible without all the amazing volunteers who helped out before, on and after the day. If you didn't volunteer this year why not chat to someone who did about their experience and please (please!) consider putting your hand up next year, we can't run such awesome events without volunteers.  Hearing from your kids about how much they loved the day makes your (small or large) volunteer time worthwhile.

Of course this year’s fete could not have been possible without the Fete Committee members putting many, many, many hours into organizing our major fundraiser AND an amazing community day. If you see one of the Fete Committee members around make sure you congratulate them on creating such a memorable day - Janice Spackman, Tessa Goundar, Ash Donley, Sammy Russell, Penny Bufalo, Kylie Sjoberg, Anita Wilkinson, Matt Thorpe, Pete Seivers and Emma Robinson. 

Our Mega Cash Raffle forms part of our fete takings and will be drawn on 1 December. We’ll be able to announce the final fete takings once all expenses have been paid and all cash raffle tickets and money has been returned.
