To confirm what is happening:

16^th – Friday night Claybird Shoot and BBQ at Pratt’s farm from 6pm till dark

Saturday 17^th – Dinner at School junior Room (change from hall as numbers have dropped off – only 50 – 60 now) at 6pm.

Menu is steak, sausages, potato bake and salads

On board for the set up, prep of food and cooking – Tiff, Nikita, Hannah Blackmore(?), Hayley, Blair/Fiona.  Need to set up tables to sit and eat, serving table and dishes etc.  Please be there with enough time to have food cooked and served at 6pm please.

BBQ’s – Schools, Fields and Pratts

Need to bring the two fridges from kids changing room over to cooking room so we have adequate fridge space for food etc.

Need to sort out plates, knives and forks etc so you know you have enough … you will need to get these from Hall … I might have time this weekend to sort and make sure you have all you need at school ready to go.

Breakfast – serving at 8am please – menu is Bacon, eggs, toast and hash browns/cooked up potatoes. Tea and coffee etc too

Matters arising

Apiti School Trail Ride - 17^th April

The track now has been planned to go from the Pratts and not from the Domain. Ben and Maryann have concerns re-starting trail ride from their farm and parking there. Under new laws there is huge responsibility on landowners.

After discussion re-new health and safety, parking, new liabilities for the farmer and on advice from others it was decided to cancel it for this year .
ASSA were not happy to run it this year under the new health and safety regulations .  We will look at other trail rides and liabilities and look at running it next year because it is such a great fundraiser. Thanks to everyone for their organisation so far.
Jess is ringing Orion, Farmlands Tony McIntyre
Maryann replying emails from last trail bike riders
Tim to contact the farmers and Fire Brigade
Gillespies to contacttheir list
Mary to make signs“cancelled and to cancel on silver bullet
Next year it was suggested we start planning 6months out eg Oct.

Other Fundraising ideas.
Heifer Scheme – Lance to organise – and send list
Jess will talk to Lance about this fundraiser.
Ask Hopkins to donate calves.
Last time Sara raised them
Tim offered to raise them
Ben is happy to have 1 or 2
Dave 1
Pam happy to take one (she’ll check if she’s got one)

ASSA

14/3/2016

7.30 Camp Information meeting - appreciate forms back asap

8.00 ASSA

Present: Hannah, Adam, Tim, Lucy, Tiff, Lance, Jess, Nicole, Toni, Blair, Mary, Nicki

Apologies: Wendy, Shannon, Maryann

Aim of ASSA ... to fundraise to provide learning opportunities for all Apiti Students

Agenda:

Show profits approx $1100

Triathlon profits ... approx $700

Calf scheme discussed. This is a very low key way to fundraise if everyone pitches in.

Trail bike ride

• Don’t have a complete track yet so need to look at shifting venue and whether it is possible.
• Need a base e.g. woolshed
• Will approach Pratt’s re using as a base and northern farmers (Coppen’s and Kesty) needed to link the track
• Blair happy to use the northern end of his farm
• Jess to investigate road crossing
• Tim and Adam to investigate so we can make a call by this weekend

Last year we raised almost $10 000 and approx 350 riders

Looking at the feasibility of running a trail bike ride ... pros / cons

Other possibilities

1. Opossum hunt. - This will be put into action if the Trail bike ride does not go ahead.

Over 9 days including 2 weekends. Ideal time is June / July

2. Calf scheme.

Can approach Hopkins for sponsorship. Need somewhere to graze them.  Good to ring people you know and ask for support. Expensive to buy at the moment. Ideal = steers. Families with less land could rear as calves and then hand on to farmers with more land.

     3.   Golf tournament

AGM - date to be confirmed for end May / beginning June

8.45 Meeting closed

Minutes for ASSA Meeting 18/02/2016

Present: Mary Cuming, Wendy MacDonald, Chantell Digby, Lucy Holdaway, Nicole Philps, Lance Gillespie, Blair McCarroll, Hannah Blackmore, Tiffany Angove, Tim Field, Toni Tibbits and Jess Sandbrook (by phone).

Apologies: Maryann Pratt

Everyone was greeted by Mary and no-one could remember who was secretary so Toni offered to take notes.

The Apiti Show was first on the agenda.

The school is being paid $12 per person for the lunches for the judges etc, with an estimated number of 85. Jess said we need to plan for around 20 more or we will be short. Every school family needs to provide an icecream container of cold meat, and a salad, which needs to be delivered to the showgrounds pavilion by 11am.

Toni is to check all families know what they are bringing.

Wendy: pork and a pasta salad.

Lucy: corned beef and a broccoli salad.

Toni: bacon and egg pie and a green salad.

Nicole: corned beef and a rice salad.

Lance: bacon and egg pie and a rice salad.

Blair: 2 x chickens and a potato salad.

Tim: venison or sweet and sour pork and a pasta salad.

Chonee: beef and a rissoni salad.

Shannon: Corn beef and a chicken/potato salad (large).

Julie: Ham and a potato salad.

Anette: Corn beef and a green salad.

Fluteys: 2 x Corn beef, venison patties and a green salad. 

Also Toni will do a stocktake of items in cupboard at school and discuss with Jess what else is needed, ie bread, margarine, buns, coffee, tea, sauce, salt, pepper, milk, napkins, plates, cutlery etc.

We usually do a large pot of spuds so this needs to be sorted as well.

Any sausages left over from the Triathlon can be pre cooked and served up as well. Blair offered to take care of this.

20L containers of water will be delivered on the day as well, from Jess, Blair and 2 from Toni.

Helpers on the day:

Toni, Fiona, Jess, possibly also Nicole and Wendy

Mike Wills is helping with the golf.

Someone needs to check if a gazebo is needed for outside the pavilion, and where it is coming from. It is thought that Donna has planned something here. Also seating needs to be organised. The trestles from the hall are being permanently left at the Domain.

General: Jess needs to check the first aide kit, if it is not checked and updated by the public health nurse. A request was made to ensure there is bee sting medication for the triathlon.

Triathlon:

Marshalls. Nicky has the list and will be in contact arranging this.

Food for sale:

Sausage sizzle with bread, butter, onions, sauce and mustard. Oil is also needed along with serviettes. Toni is stocktaking and getting back to Jess about this. Lance is organising the sausages, bread, chopping onions and the float. He is also checking the new BBQ matches the connections on the gas bottle, also that gas bottle is full.

Drinks- Cans, Chonee is sorting these. Water will also be available.

Iceblocks and icecreams: Chonee and Wendy will buy these.

General:

The school gazebo is being used as well as the McCarrolls.

Helpers on the day: 10-2ish..?

Paul and Adam on BBQ

Blair, Jess, Chonee and Wendy

Extra standards and Tape: Digby’s and check supplies in dental clinic?

Trail Ride

A separate meeting is needed for this. 14^th March 2016 was decided on. Date for trail ride: 17^th April 2016.

There was discussion about the need to change the track. Tim will talk to Nipper and Adam.

Doug and Hannah are ok to look after the kids track but will need 2 other helpers, more pigtails and tape.

Meeting ended.

Trail Bike Ride

Landowners – Adam is contacting all landowners to make sure all OK &; finding out any repairs that needs to be done. 

Discussed whether we need to run a bulldozer over the track soon so there are no ruts next year, decided this was too late to do now.

Maybe changing track next year – Adam, Blair & Tim to investigate where track could go (Sam Brown’s?)

Holdaway’s are not wanting us to use their place next year.

Discussed different starting venues – golf club, woolshed.

Set date earlier in the year (Feb/March) was suggested so damage could be fixed before winter set in.

** Oct we need to be making a decision about where & when & put this on Silver Bullet

No side by sides

On the Flyer        $35 for adults & $20 for kids (U12)

                            Pre-register/indication on Facebook page to get idea of numbers                                            Lunch is at a certain time 11:30 – 1:30                                                                                      Email address so we can market to them

                            No side-by-sides

Would prefer no camping

Setting up & Marking out track – Landowners need notice & clear times of when we are setting up track

Kids Track – Hannah Blackmore to organise this

                        Wants more standards & good tape to mark out track

                        Possibly have 2 tracks, one for littlies & one for bigger kids

                        4 to 5 people to help out

Gate Registrations – Need to put that this trail ride is organised in association with                                                  Orion (MOMCC) on disclaimer

                                 Print disclaimer on A4

Keep kids registration the same & just need to remember to mark on registration form

Float a little more & more registration forms.

Need someone on road to direct traffic (not kids).

More clip boards on the go.

-       3 first aiders on at all times

-       Fire Brigade riding track

Track Safety Riders –          More 4 wheelers on the course,

                                            Suggested that safety riders only ride a certain area &                                                             keeping looping this part of the track.

                                            2 - 4 with 4 wheelers or utes at base to be able to                                                                     send out when we have an issue.

                                            Fire brigade if St John there they could actually ride                                                                 around the track doing safety/first aid.

                                            Need to make sure that we are getting name or number                                                           of the hurt person so we know that they got back.

                                            Map with zones & sections.

Lead Riders – lead riders need to actually lead not be too far ahead.  

Safety Briefing –       Speaker & microphone needed

                                 Add the fact that vehicles can only go out far gate at the end of                                                the day.

Catering –       Need to reimburse all extra food & supplies bought.

                        Pre-registering to get numbers.

                        Table outside.

                        Time-frame for lunch.

                        Get BBQ’s out of sight when finished.

                        Numbers on riders hand & then a line put through once they get their                                     lunch if we are tight with catering don’t worry about this if not the                                             numbers.

                        Contingency for food knowing what is in peoples freezers.

                        Soup was good (4x crockpots).

                        Muffin bake off was good.

                        More water needed.

                        Cater for our own kids.

                        Laminated signs for what you get for lunch, water here, soup here, 2 x                                   sausages each etc
