Nadine Power, PFA President 

PFA and Fair Planning Meeting - 6 September, 7.30 - 8.30pm

The Kilvington Centenary Fair will be held in March 2023. 

 

'Many hands make light work!' - we request all volunteers to come along to the PFA Meeting on Tuesday 6 September from 7.30 to 8.30pm in the Staff Lounge. 

 

We will share roles and tasks across the School community and run through what is required. The more helpers we get, the more we can share the load, making sure it is manageable for everyone. 

 

A list of all the proposed stalls can be found on the sign-up page here. Each stall needs a coordinator/s and a small team of helpers to plan and set up, and will be joined by general volunteers from our community on the day in shifts to run the stall. 

 

A separate sign-up with information about shifts for individual stalls will be circulated to our community later in the year. Being involved is a great way to get to know the community and is great fun. Why not get your mates together and put a team forward for a stall? 

 

Regular PFA business will also be conducted at this meeting. Please see the agenda posted on KCEE. 

 

If you have any questions, please contact Nadine Power via npower1616@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you next week.
