Due to the lack of teams entered in the Quiz night, we have made the decision to cancel the Quiz evening.  We will be using the prizes and putting them towards a Christmas raffle.  Each family will be asked to sell one raffle card with 20 tickets on it.  These cards will be sent home on Monday 20th October and are due back on Monday 10th November.  We will be asking for parents to help sell tickets at Countdown and New World supermarkets.  We will also be having a cake stall at the Victorian Fete (Sunday 16th November) in which we will be asking families to donate.
