Thank You to all who attended our Kid's Christmas Party on Sunday 3rd December.

 

 

A very special Thank You to everyone who helped out and volunteered their time to make sure that this was a fun and enjoyable day for all. We can not do this without you, and we really appreciate your time and effort.

 

 

It was absolutely roasting and I'm sure some went away a bit sun-kissed. There were a few buckets of water thrown on the bouncy castles throughout the day to keep the kids cool, and many Ice creams devoured. A very fun Santa made an appearance with books for all the children, which they loved! We ended the party with a lollie scramble so the kids could go home on a sugar high, of course. It was a fun, relaxed day and we hope everyone who came along enjoyed themselves.

Thank youThank you
