Hopefully the weather will be fine and warm – so bring your folding chairs, tables, sun umbrellas and picnic rugs to enjoy the shade under the large trees on the school field. Also bring along your extended family and friends for a great day out – everyone is welcome!!

For lunch, grilled Swiss sausages (Bratwurst and Cervelas) with bread, mustard or tomato sauce; as well as a selection of cold drinks; will be sold throughout the day. And from about 1.00 pm, a variety of delicious homemade baking, together with tea or coffee (and Schnapps), will also be available for sale.

Swiss Society and Hamilton Club Sports’ Events

We encourage you to take part in the variety of sports’ events on offer.

At the Picnic, any Swiss Society members can compete in the Society prize bowling; and Hamilton Club members can participate in the Hamilton Club Trophy bowling competitions (adult’s cup, ladies’ teapot, and junior prizes). The same rules apply to the Swiss Society and Hamilton Club Shot-Put competitions (men, women, and junior girls and boys) which will take place on the field during the afternoon.

Note: The Club will subsidise Society Competition participation (Shooting, Bowling and Shot-Put) for all junior Hamilton Club members (aged 15 years and under) by 50%. To participate in Society and Club Trophy Competitions, you must be a current Society and/or Club member. If bringing visitors to the picnic, please make them aware of this. They may still pay and compete for fun, but will not be eligible for any prizes or trophies. It is not necessary to bring current trophies to the picnic – these will be collected later in the year for engraving and presenting.

Other Activities

A variety of childrens’ games, races, and activities – including a lolly scramble – will take place on the field during the afternoon; and the adventure playground is open all day for the children to play on! However, children are not permitted to access any roped off areas around classrooms and other school facilities. The school’s swimming pool will be available for use, but children must be strictly supervised by an adult at all times. Please bring your own “water toys“ (any school equipment is not for our use).

Parents please note: you are fully responsible for the safety of your own child/children, both in and around the swimming pool (refer to the notice by the pool), as well as around the adventure playground.

Roster

As usual, we expect it will be a busy day and we require volunteers to help during three shifts: 11.00am -12.30; 12.30 – 2.00; and 2.00 – 3.30pm. No cash handling is required for sausages – just serving food.

If you can help during any of these shifts (either writing bowling scores or selling food), please contact Anita Zuber (anita.zuber@swiss.org.nz). Shifts can then be checked at the bowling or food table.

Sausages

A limited quantity of vacuum packed sausages can be purchased after 2.00pm at the refrigerated trailer by the food stand. To ensure availability, preordering would be appreciated, and is required by Monday, 3rd February. Please contact Beatrice (bea.leun@xtra.co.nz).
