The much-loved Joeys Spring Fair is just around the corner!

We all know the Spring Fair would not be a success without our enormous contingent of amazing volunteers. Please take a moment to read through this email and see if there’s somewhere you can help out. Once again we thank you and appreciate your ongoing support.

CAKE STALL – Year 9

This year the cake stall will be running the inaugural ‘Great Joeys Bake Off’ themed cake competition.

It will be a Joeys–themed cake competition and the winner will not the best tasting cake (as we need to sell the cakes later) but the most creative/original Joeys-themed cake. Examples might include a cake in the shape/colours of a College blazer, a College rugby ball cake or a cake in the shape of one of the College buildings.

The competition is open to the whole school community and competition cakes must be delivered to the cake stall on the day of the Spring Fair by 11.30am.

Cakes will be sold after the midday judging.

DONATING A CAKE? All bakers donating cakes are asked to use either the boxes supplied by Year 9 or cardboard/paper plates with a plastic wrap cover. Please note: Tupperware and other storage containers are not preferred as it is difficult to return them.

Please include a list of ingredients with your baking for us to display.

We also encourage all Christmas cake bakers to get cooking as these cakes are extremely popular.

LADIES AUXILIARY STALL – HIGH TEA

We are hoping Year 12 mums will join us again this year to lend a hand and a friendly smile at high tea in the Farrell Auditorium.

Last year the 30 high tea tables were constantly full, with things extremely busy from 12-3pm. To ensure another high tea success we are in need of a large number of helpers on the day for food prep, serving and clearing.

Can you donate baked goods or pretty teapots and tea-cups?

We would love any home-baked small items, scones, sandwich fillings, sweets and savouries for the tiered trays. We are also looking for pretty teapots and tea-cups for use on the day.

Baked goods, teapots and teacups can be dropped off to Joeys on Saturday 12 November or on the day of the fair.

Please email sjclaux@joeys.org if you can help in any way!

 

ENQUIRIES: Hilary Bokeyar email pbokeyar@bigpond.net.au or telephone 0416 155 843; or Helen Ross on telephone 9144 1891.

COUNTRY PARENTS STALL

Always popular at the Spring Fair is the local produce from our rural community. We are looking for contributions of handmade or commercially available relishes, pickles, cordials, chutneys, olive oils, wine, liquor, coffee, honey and cheeses as well as farm-grown fruit and/or vegetables, farm-grown meat, chicken or eggs. In fact, anything showcasing our country heritage that could be displayed or sold would be gratefully accepted. If you can’t grow it, perhaps you can make it, e.g. fruit cakes, preserves, jams or biscuits using Aussie-grown produce.

ENQUIRIES: If you can help by donating, organising, volunteering to help in the Country Parents Stall, or would like to be a contact point for other regional/country parents in your area, contact Kate Bokenham on email katebokenham@bigpond.com or mobile 0488 682 922; or Flick Keady on email keadys@bigpond.com or mobile 0438 298 037.

BASKETBALL ENTERTAINMENT

Fancy yourself as another LeBron James…Steph Curry…Michael Jordan?  Well, head on down to the outdoor courts and sink some hoops in the Great Joeys Basketball Shoot-Out and the Joeys Basketball 3-on-3 competition!

Shoot-out: Players will line up at the free throw line in a sudden death, last-man-standing competition to find the sharpest shooter at Joeys. There will be great prizes for the winners of each round before round winners play-off for super prizes and major bragging rights. Rounds will start each half-hour on the half-hour

You may enter as many times as you like throughout the day – each entry costs a gold coin. Turn up and enter at least 15 minutes before you would like to play.

3-on-3: Organise your team now for this knock-out competition which will have great prizes up for grabs. Teams need at least three players and will be allocated a mystery fourth player!

3-on-3 teams must enter in advance. The entry fee is $5 per team, payable on the day of the fair. Enter by either emailing michmcd@tpg.com.au or registering at the basketball BBQ at Saturday home games. To enter you must provide the team name, player names and a contact telephone number.

Games will be played through the day so you need to check the schedule on the basketball courts on the day of the fair to get your playing times.
