Mix and Mingle Social Gathering
Join us at The Western on Friday, May 10 @ 7pm for a Mix and Mingle Social Gathering. We thought this would be a great way to catch up with other parents and carers, and have a chat without the children. The Western have been very generous and are providing us with their beer garden and some nibbles free of charge, therefore there’s no charge to come along and have some fun. Drinks and food at own cost. Please RSVP to the office, just so we have an indication of numbers.
