Just a reminder to everyone that the Blue Mountain Campdraft is fast approaching.This year the Campdraft will be on the 19th, 20th and 21st of August. It is held at the Blue Mountain Campdraft Grounds, “Strathdale”, Blue Mountain Rd Sarina, approximately 25 mins from school over the Sarina Range.For our new families who may be unaware, the catering for this event is the major school fundraiser for the year. Our school runs the canteen and provides all meals for competitors and spectators from Friday night through to Sunday afternoon. Over the last few years we have raised over $15 000 for our school. There are many ways in which you can support this event and our school.
1. Providing a hot meal for Friday night.2. Provide baking for sweets and desserts.3. Rostering on to work a shift at the event.4. Donate goods to help with the catering. (Last year we had donations of items ranging from cartons of soft drink to BBQ sauce and coffee. These donations really helped to increase our profits.)
Work RosterTo make it easier and for things to run smoothly we need at least 8 crews of approximately 8 people rostered over the weekend. Due to the high quality of food and reasonable prices last year we had most of the 300 competitors and spectators eat all their meals at our canteen. This means that the more people we can roster on to help, the lighter the load. Each crew would need people to cook the bbq, prep and serve food.There are camping facilities on site for those of you that may like to camp the night, with toilets and hot showers available. Those of us that have camped each year have had a great time and the children enjoyed the weekend as well. It’s a great social event and one that greatly benefits our school financially.The success of this event really does rely on the dedication and team work of our school community and I hope everyone will be able to get behind it and support our school.If you could please indicate how you may be able to assist with the catering event and return to school it would be much appreciated. We encourage you to seek help from family and friends as many hands make light work. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and if you would like to donate items.Many thanks,Melanie HamblinPH:49504203 MOB:0499638710 email:
