<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>CHRISTMAS FAYRE - SAT 30TH NOVEMBER 2-5PM</b><br></font>

<Font color="green"><b>The Christmas Fayre is our main fundraiser of the year and the money raised is essential to enable us to provide the many activities and camps for your children.</b><p></font>
With under a month to go until this year's Christmas Fayre and we still need some help with a few things:
<p><b>Children's Tombola</B><br>
This is a hugely popular stall, so we need LOTS of prizes! Why not have a clear out and donate any unused, unwanted children's gifts, large or small. Gifts tend to include games, mugs, action figures, remote control cars, stationery, soft toys and loom bands. Collection bins can be found at the front and back entrances at Brookmans Park School, or you can deliver items to 36 Bluebridge Road, BP (please leave inside the porch) or drop off at a Friday meeting. We are also happy to collect if you prefer. 
<p><b>Jam Jar Hoopla</B><br>
Please start collecting and filling clean, empty jam jars with children's gifts - anything new or unused. Items have included toys, sweets (bagged, no loose – no nuts please), badges, cars, loom bands and figures etc. Please bring these along to a Friday meeting, or leave in the black bins at Brookmans Park School.
<p><b>Raffle</B><br>
This year we have some amazing prizes: Cash prizes of £200 and £100, 2-night stay at a spa hotel in Wales, £50 Voucher at The Brookmans, amazing hampers, delicious gingerbread house plus many more! We are still adding to our list so would love to hear from anyone who would like to donate a prize. This week you should receive throug the post 2 books of tickets (10 tickets) to sell. Please return the completed stubs with the money (and any unsold tickets) as soon as possible. These can be brought in an envelope marked "NMYP Raffle" to one of the Friday meetings before 30th November. Alternatively, the envelopes can be put through the door of 6, Moffats Lane, Brookmans Park or, if your children attend Brookmans Park Primary School, handed into the school office. Tickets will also be available at Friday meetings, from the school office, on the day at the Fayre and online via the website - <a href="http://www.nmyouth.org.uk/fay/re">http://www.nmyouth.org.uk/fayre</a>
<p><b>Selling Raffle Tickets</B><br>
If anyone fancies a stint in their local pub selling raffle tickets please let us know!

<p><b>Help on the day</B><br>
We run several of our own fun games stalls at this event and need your help to run them. We just ask for an hour and a half of your time (from 2pm or 3.30pm). We also need help setting up in the morning and clearing away for around an hour on the Saturday evening. Please sign up to help on the website via the 'help' link above. <p>
If your employer offers a Matched Giving scheme, please check and let us know - this is a great scheme and you can help us maximise our fundraising for no extra effort.
<p><b>Leaflet Delivery</b><br>
We had an overwhelming response to our request for help, as over 30 parents came forward offering to deliver leaflets. Thank you - many hands really do make light work!
