Dear CJC community,

We also still need some volunteers to assist with the BBQ and sale on the day. A reminder that the 2nd hand uniform shop will also run a stall so that you can buy ahead for winter.

At the AGM we will report on our profit and loss for 2024, election of officer holders and fundraising goals for 2024. All welcome. Zoom details will be circulated for people wishing to attend remotely.
