RYLA Catering Assistance Required

Posted by Michelle Simpson

The club organisers recognise that many club members would like to assist with RYLA but are unable to do so because of work or other commitments. Here's a way to help if you are in this position.

The organisers have asked if members can provide home-baked cakes and biscuits to help the morning and afternoon teas for the participants and tutors. About 40 people are catered for each day.

You do not have to cater for 40 people but a plate of biscuits/cakes from many will soon fill up the tables with delicious home-baking.

You can drop the plates off at the venue, or, bring along to our regular club meeting on the 27th. This is the meeting following the long weekend. You could also arrange with Michelle to pick up your plates.

Many thanks
