We areco-ordinating the potluck dinner for our swimmers, coaches and parents after the Red v Green Fun Swim Meet on Friday night December 16. Can you help please???

I am currently working on the basis that we need enough food for 50 hungry swimmers, coaches and approx 50 parents and family –numbers to be confirmed. Please confirm how many in your family are planning to join in – we want to make sure we have plenty of food but no waste!! Sign up online for both the meet and what you are bringing for the potluck. The job sign up button leads to available slots.

Sign up for food items

Can you please look at the attached and sign up for an item. Feel free to sign up for a more expensive item with a friend!

Sign up to donate some $$$ for us to purchase items

I know for instance that lots of the swimmers love Subway and I have negotiated a great deal with them so please feel free to donate $$$ if you are busy! I can get 10 x 6” subs for $25 complete with all the trimmings on the side!
