16 young carers from Kids Who Care will be coming to the club on Saturday 28 July for an afternoon's paddling and then a home made tea. We need about 15 volunteers for the afternoon. It is great fun, everyone has a good time and it is a great time for getting to know people at the club. Particularly welcome are cakes etc for the tea. The volunteers need to arrive around 1.30pm and the visitors arrive around 1.45pm. Tea is around 4pm and it is all finished by 5pm.

Volunteers:

On the water
Mike
Jon
Susan
Will
Brian
Nick P
Paul H
Jane

In the clubhouse
Ernie ?
Jackie
Janine

    I have a complete list of ingredients, quantities etc of what is needed for the tea which I will get put on the website. I could advise / assist but I'd need two fit and able bodied people available from 12.30 until 5 to help!
  • susan_jlsusan_jl
    I'll bake cake for this.

    We have people for on the water, can we have some people to help with food prep whilst we are on the water. Even if this is only for an hour or so.
    Also, any food you can help supply would be appreciated (nb 8-16 ish yrs olds)
  • Jacqui_SJacqui_S
    Mike B, I 've asked someone for help with food and am hoping to hear from them soon. Will keep you posted. Cheers Jacqui

    26 youngsters are coming + adult helpers. Lots of volunteers required.

    Please get baking some nice cakes etc.

    Jane, is that 26 youngsters and then additional numbers of adults or is it that the total of hungry mouths, excluding our own starved paddlers, is 26? I need to avoid sandwich glut! Thanks Jacqui
  • NickPTrickstaNickPTricksta
    Sandwich glut is fine... I need something for my packed lunches next week, I'm a growing lad you know :P
  • Jacqui_SJacqui_S
    No Nick, only lettuce leaves for you or you'll get like me and struggle to fit in your kayak.

    I could come along. I am not sure how I could help. My culinary skills do not extend beyond directions to McDonalds!

    I am just checking - am I needed tomorrow as I am not on the list at the start of this post? - Update: I see I am not needed.

    Have a good day!

    Many thanks to those club members who turned out to help both on and off the water. You help,as always, was much appreciated both by the club and more so by the kids and support workers. They always say its the highlight of the year for the kids.
  • Jacqui_SJacqui_S
    Can I add mine to Mike's thanks, especially to Mike himself, Rhian, Janine, Jamie and Owen without whom the kids' tea would not have happened, and to Susan and everyone who helped me serve it!

    With apologies for the delay in posting this.

    Hi Jane

    Can you please pass on our thanks to all the wonderful people at the Exeter Canoe Clulb who gave us yet another memorable afternoon last Saturday.

    We very much appreciate you having us down every year and I am pleased to say that you should have our donation of £100 into your account at the beginning of next week.

    Whilst writing – can I repeat my challenge to your volunteers over the next 12 months – my sunglasses are black French Connection……. :-) I do believe in miracles!!

    Many thanks once again.
    Best wishes
