Good Evening Wistowians,

The Wistow Winter Solstice DInner will be held on Saturday 22 June 2024. See e-mail below for details.

Thanks to all those who have booked. Legends. I won't pull any punches though, ticket sales have been well below expectations, so we need more people to support this event. A small group of volunteers has been working hard on this event, so please come along, show your support and help us fundraise for the Association. We had a great time last year, and we plan to have another good time this year.

As an added bonus, Andrew and Christina Kemp have very kindly offered to host drinks in the lovely renovated barn at the rear of their 6 Morning Star Road property from 5:30 to 6:00pm, so diners can have a quick beer or glass of bubbles in their barn before walking across to the Wistow hall for dinner.

We have to close bookings on 19 June to finalise catering, so please, book as soon as possible.

Hi Fellow Wistonians,

I am writing to you in regards to our Wistow Winter Solstice Dinner that is coming up on Saturday 22 June 2024. We hope to see lots of you there at this night of fun.

This event is our major fundraiser for the year, and most of the funds are raised through the raffles and auctions that are held on the night. We need prizes for the raffles and auctions, and these are donated by community members and by businesses in and around the Wistow and Mount Barker areas, and even further afield.

I am reaching out to see if you can help. Do you have any items that could be donated as prizes? Do you know someone who owns a local business? Are you a regular customer at a local business? Would you be willing to ask a local business if they could donate a prize for the raffles and auctions? If so, then you are a local legend and we thank you very much.

We are looking for prizes of any shape, size or type - vouchers, toys, framed paintings, clothing, wine, food, meat trays, farm supplies etc.

If you can help with a personal donation or by contacting local businesses, please contact the Association Secretary, Sean Flaherty, at [email protected] or 0437 290 741 and he will send you a formal letter from the Association that you can give to businesses when seeking donations. Also let us know if you need help with following up promising leads or collecting donations.

As is usually the case, we have a small group of busy volunteers organising this event and any help we can get from our local community will be gratefully received.

Thank you.

President

Hello Wistownians,

It's time to come together as a community for our first dinner since last June - Family CURRY NIGHT on Saturday 13 April 2024.

Curries will range from mild butter chicken to a hot and spicy vindaloo, and everything in between!! Rice and bread will be provided.

For those who are new to Wistow family dinners, here's the general rundown ... volunteers cook the main course, while diners bring either a starter or a dessert to share. BYO drinks and nibbles. Everyone pitches in to clean up and pack up afterwards. It's a cheap, fun night out with good food and great company. A fab way to catch up with regulars and meet new members of our community.

All welcome, so feel free to share this e-mail with other Wistonians, friends or family.
