Pioneer School Hospitality Tuesday, 29 September 2026

Thank you so much to everyone helping with our Pioneer School hospitality on Tuesday, 29 September. Your generosity with your time, food, drinks and practical help is very much appreciated 🫶.

Just like Surfers Cong, we’re calling our menu for the day ‘Liquorice Allsorts’, because there will be a little bit of everything 😊.

For part-day helpers: If you are only coming for part of the day, could you please aim to arrive approximately 30 minutes before the scheduled break? This will give us enough time to organise the food, drinks and serving areas without rushing.

Food-safety note: Please only label an item gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan or suitable for an allergy when all ingredients and preparation methods meet that description. For more severe allergies, we will also need to be mindful of cross-contamination during preparation and on the day, and ensure that all specially prepared dishes are clearly labelled and kept separate ☺️.
