Dear Lindfield Community

I hope you all have your RSVP’s in for the P&F Welcome Reception this coming Saturday night, kicking off at 7.30pm. The Grade 6 parents have asked if you can come dressed in either black, white or grey or just a token of one of the colours on yourself if you can manage it. It’s not obligatory and you will not be denied entry if you can’t manage it. It will be a great night and hopefully the rain will hold off. If it does decide to be a wet evening you will be directed to an alternative location in the School.

The Sports Committee’s first home game BBQ at Koola Park went off very well. We had some great parent volunteers and came away with a profit. Huge thank you to our Sports Committee for being so dedicated. The next one is this Saturday so if you are at Koola Park, please come along and support the P&F by buying a delicious bacon/egg/sausage roll. There are drinks also available and if anyone has a contact for a coffee van please can you let us know as the one that was organised has fallen through.

On the topic of sport, the annual Newington Sports Lunch is to be held on Friday the 22nd of March. This is for the entire Newington community and any friends, family or business associates who may wish to attend. The invitation is attached and costs $125 pp with a fabulous lunch and beverages included. This year, due to it being Sesquicentenary ie. 150 years of Newington), the committee has managed to secure 6 legendary speakers. The Sesquicentenary Committee are also looking for any physical donations for a silent auction and raffle and will give your business recognition for this on the day. If you wish to donate anything please let me know.

STICKY BEAKS ARE IN THE PREP SHOP! Our older families may remember being able to buy reusable lunch bags for the Tuckshop from a couple of years ago. We now have a supply in the Prep Shop and if you wish to purchase one they are $10 each. They do save on using paper bags and have a zip pocket to keep money in.

Hope to see you at the first P&F meeting for the year, this coming Monday 25 February at 3pm in the Library. Mr C and Mrs Barg will be on hand to mind any boys. They will come and meet them in the library and take them to the appropriate area, dependent on the weather etc.

P & F President
