Enrolments
Hungry Horse Cafe
As the next race meeting is on Wednesday 10th February 2021 (week 2) we need to know who will be available to help out at the cafe on this day. It would be very beneficial to have the roster sorted out this year and what session you would be doing as the first week of school is always busy for everyone.
For any race meeting, the cafe roster needs to be sorted out a week beforehand so the helpers know what time slots they are working and make preparations for it. Please contact Rebecca Heffernan on 027 432 4056 if you can help.
Library Books
All outstanding library books need to be returned to the library by this Monday so the stock take can be finished.
