fete - Turner School

For all fete enquiries please contact the fete committee via Heather Kettle at hm7667@tpg.com.au
FETE COMMITTEE UPDATE
Plans are well underway for a spectacular fete on Saturday 31 October! This year’s fete is
being organised by a small but dedicated committee of volunteers but we need the help of the
whole school community to make the fete a success on the day.
Proceeds from the fete are used to buy resources and equipment for the school so every dollar
we raise directly helps every child at Turner School.
Next stall holder meeting Wednesday 16 September at 7:00pm in the library. All welcome!

Wood-Fired Pizza Stall @TurnerFete
Operated by the Turner Dads™ Since 2015  Okay, we admit it’s our
first try 
The Turner Dads™, led by locally renowned pizza makers Percy Bell
and Geoff Kushnick, are looking to do their part at this year’s Turner
Fete by selling a range of tasty pizzas, wood-fired in a trailer-hitch
oven. But, we need generous members of our community to help the
cause. We’d love to hear from you if you can provide a helping hand
before or during the Fete, or would like to make a donation of
materials, or a straight up cash donation to help with the cost of the
oven rental.
Please call Percy Bell at 0415 260 805.
Time for a spring clean!
Spring has sprung! So take the opportunity this school holidays to get rid of the old and
make plenty of room for the new!
We




are seeking donations of clean, good quality:
summer & winter clothes
belts, bags, shoes and hats
brand name womenswear
kids’ dress-ups
PLEASE no undies, socks, bras; or anything stained, damaged or worn out!
Please contact Pip if you would like to help sort donations or help with the stall.

WHITE ELEPHANT STALL
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Helpers are needed at the fabulous White Elephant stall.
Come join the fun - no stall offers more variety and excitement!
To register your interest call Chris on: 0400591771 or email
felixtheklcat@yahoo.com
DONATIONS ACCEPTED SOON…
FACE PAINTING
The face painting stall is seeking volunteers to
offer one or two hours of their time on fete
day! No prior experience is necessary as we
provide booklets of face painting designs that are
simple to reproduce. If you're keen to help
out please contact Mem
Wilson: mem@homemail.com.au
Reclaim the Sizzle!
Stand tall parents, your school needs you! Bunnings, Masters and many
other great pretenders have been stealing from your children with their
‘community BBQ program’.
Sure sausage sizzles are not as glamorous as face painting, as cool as side
show alley or creative as a mobile pizza oven; but all we need from you is
about half an hour at the end of some tongs, occasional feedback on how
cooked the sausages look and a great big smile.
Let’s reclaim the sizzle, and show those corporate thugs a thing or two about community! If you can handle
the pressure email adrian@ecointel.com.au.
Boxes
The fete needs your packing
boxes or any large boxes.
Please deliver to the
donation collection area in
the multipurpose room from
Monday 14 September.
Thanks!
The Bike Stall
The bike stall needs your unused, unwanted,
outgrown bikes! If you have a bike that you would
like to donate to the school fete now is the time to
drop it off. To arrange drop off please get in contact
with the store convenor, Stuart Jones,
stuartjones1@gmail.com or 0402 494 171
CAKE STALL
Calling for Volunteers to work on the Day
Our cake stall was a great success last year so all families of Turner School students and are again invited
to bake cakes, slices, biscuits, cupcakes, muffins etc to be sold on the cake stall at this year’s fete.
We are also hoping to attract lots of volunteers to help on the day so we can limit the time on the stall to
around 1 hour which will leave you with plenty of time to also enjoy the fete with your children.
We will provide details about how the cakes should be presented and ingredients that are not permissible,
e.g. fresh cream closer to the fete. In the meantime if you wish to volunteer early or can offer any other
help please contact me by e-mail - dianejones@netspeed.com.au
Convenor Diane Jones
CRAFT STALL
I am looking forward to seeing the wonderful craft ideas from parents
and teachers that we will be selling at the stall this year.
To encourage and inspire you, I will list some ‘Handy Hints’ in the next
few newsletters to spark that creativity that is hiding in all of us!
There will be a drop off box available shortly on the David Street side of
the school. I am still looking for additional helpers on the day.
Please do not hesitate to grab me for a chat or I can be contacted on 0412 140 332 or email jodiwood@tpg.com.au
Keep crafting! Jodi Wood
Pricing craft items
It is difficult to put a price on hand crafted items – it is very rare that you get back what you have put in. If you have
a good idea what you would hope your items would sell for, could you please include this when you drop them
off. Have a look at Pinterest or Etsy to find a comparable item. But please remember – this is a school fete and we
need to be realistic about what people will pay. If you think you might have a product that is high end, it may be
worthwhile contacting the fete coordinator to see if it should be included in a raffle rather than sold at the stall.
Upcycling
Upcycling is the process of converting old or discarded materials into something useful and often beautiful. For
example, unraveling a wire clothes hanger to break into your car to rescue your keys is NOT upcycling. Stretching
out a wire clothes hanger then tying strips of Christmas fabric and beads around it to make a wreath IS
upcycling! Get some inspiration from http://www.upcyclemagazine.com/tag/crafts

Plant Stall
It's time to start thinking about plant donations for the fete! We welcome all
donations of potted plants, pots, potting mix etc and now is a great time to
start taking cuttings to pot up. All plants are welcome, but particularly
vegetable seedlings, succulents/cacti and flowering plants. You can drop
plants off at the Environment Centre at any time, but please let us know
when you do so that we can make sure they are looked after. Please contact
Warrick (warrick_doherty@yahoo.com or 0431 968 341) if you can help out.
Book Stall
Donations and Helpers Needed
The Book Stall warmly welcomes donations of books,
magazines, CDs and DVDs of all kinds. Kids’, adults’, fiction,
non-fiction, comics, pretty much anything as long as it’s in good
condition (yes, we’ll even take those embarrassing copies of Fifty Shades of Grey off your
hands – no questions asked). BUT, please no VHS video tapes, computer manuals or half-used
colouring books.
Please package your donations into small, sturdy boxes or bags – not too heavy!
We also need helpers to set up and work on the stall on the day, as well as help with sorting
in the weeks before the Fete. All ages are very welcome so bring the whole family along.
Contact Tina at blindasabat@grapevine.com.au

Adopt-a-Teddy
Are you looking for a new furry friend? Come and give a teddy a new home by
adopting a teddy at the fete this year. All adopted teddies come with their very
own adoption certificate.
Visit the Teddy Hospital
Have you got a furry friend who may be feeling a bit ill? Has a broken bone? A sore
head? Bring them along on fete day and get them checked out and bandaged up by our
‘qualified’ doctor.
Donations needed: good condition furry friends that need a new
home. There’s always one or two hidden in that pile in the cupboard
that can be parted with!
