Summary: We need donations and volunteer help for Donkey Derby.
Dear Parents and Carers,
We are now less than 2 weeks away from the Donkey Derby so we're on the last push to get the support and items we need to pull off the biggest (and hopefully best) Donkey Derby yet. Saturday 17th May seems very close, so, what do we need to make this a success?
Donations:
Similar to our other fayres, we want donations of bottles (filled with various drinks or liquids), sweets (any kind), teddies and soft toys (clean please) for our tombola's. Plus, we take donations of used items for the White Elephant stall (any bric-a-brac will do) and of crockery for the crockery smash (it will be destroyed, you have been warned). We are taking donations of bottles and sweets now - please bring them to the Scout hall for your next meeting - and donations of teddies, white elephant and crockery accepted the week of the event.
Help on the day:
We need lots of people to help with our stalls and games on the day, plus helpers to set up the event site on the morning of the 17th and the whole of Friday 16th, and to help us pack down on Saturday evening. If you can help, please let us know using this form: https://forms.gle/cmNUZDPhiwXCCt64A
Programme selling next weekend:
We've got two final days of programme selling next weekend on the 10th and 11th. The more programmes we sell, the more people can skip the queue and the more we raise nice and early. Thank you for everyone who has helped so far, anyone else who can help can let us know using this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfhHrpBvjwW0JxVee2FIl7DVlevfY50EQvUmlQqNWEQRa06nw/viewform
Thank you for all your help to come, here's to a great event.
Kind regards,
Steven Osborn, Lead volunteer
