 Yes, you heard that right. You and 15 of your school friends will have exclusive use of Oak Tree Playground during all breaks* for the WHOLE DAY! How good is that!
So get mum, dad, grandparents, friends to put a good bid in for you and we hope you win the opportunity! Reserve is set at $100. *Exclusive use is only during morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea breaks for the day. Children are not excused from lessons.  How was shearing the sheep last year? Was it left to the last minute or a hassle to fit in?
And what did it cost? This is a great way to get it all organised and have the same money, spent on your sheep shearing, work as a donation for the school! So put your name down and set your price for this great offer. Back in the day Tony spent 5 years shearing professionally in shearing gangs around the world and his son, Luke, has shorn the last 3 years in shearing gangs during Uni holidays. So they have heaps of experience. The boys can shear up to five different locations within 10km of the Coatesville area (the school being the centre of Coatesville). The set date for the shearing will be on Saturday 5th November. They can shear up up to ten sheep per location and this offer includes, drenching & clipping of feet if necessary. Don't forget to put down your contact number, the number of sheep and the name of your road with your Silent Auction bid (there will be a prompt on the bidding form), so Tony can work out a location schedule for the 5th November. Tony will be choosing the top-five highest bidders on the day, so make sure you put your best offer in to snap up this great service. Sheep shearing is in high demand in this area so it'll be great to get that job ticked off the list! And grab the availability while you can. A great way to get the job done, that needs to be done anyway! If you're keen to talk to Tony direct, here are his details: [email protected] tel: 027 454 6622 Another fab addition to our Ag Day Silent Auction. 4m3 of topsoil delivered direct to your place! This will certainly kick start your enthusiasm for that garden landscaping project you've been meaning to undertake, or maybe the start of your raised vege patches you've been aiming to plant out for a while! Perhaps you're even building a new house? This would certainly be a bonus to your building budget, if you're lucky enough to get this at a discounted price in our Silent Auction. www.cll.net.nz   Do you run a club or own a small business? Are you looking for a presence on mobile?…not just on your website?? As part of our Silent Auction this year, UTP Marketing are offering us a special chance to bid on the development cost of an App for your entity. This development cost is normally priced at $3,000, so you’ll certainly see this is worth an opportunity to have a go and try to come out tops! If you’re successful in winning then you’ll only have to pay the ongoing fee of $95 per month for maintenance and service of the App. There is no contract for a minimum time of service either, it's just a month-by-month payment. Easy! To take a look at the Apps that UTP Marketing have produced, including Ailsa McArthur’s App from Bayleys Albany, just go to the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store and search for “untold possibilities“ (the name of the App company). You’ll see an array of fab work they have already created and maybe you can start visualising your company in the mobile space too. www.utpmarketing.com   CLIENT TESTIMONAL
Hi Pete, Just a quick note to say a big thank you from the McKeown team for the tremendous work you have done developing our McKeown App. You not only took the functional scope of the proposed App that we provided you but enthusiastically consulted and enhanced it beyond our expectations and our customers, their respective staff and the public generally are loving it. In fact the App has been so well embraced by the public generally that we are constantly receiving comments from people using it to plan their fuelling destinations around our network – made possible by the App. When we started the App journey we became disillusioned, almost immediately with the low level of App development expertise and the ridiculous fee’s that were being asked. In fact I had shelved the McKeown App project because I was sick of dealing with idiots until having a fortuitous conversation with Mike from our staff who mentioned you and your business process – it was one of the best 5 minute conversations I have been involved in and in a way it changed McKeowns business forever. Finally we’d like to congratulate you on your skills as a designer, the transparency of your service offer and your business ethics which are impeccable, it’s not many companies who stay in regular contact after a commission offering us enhancement advice and ideas to utilise their product to enrich our business so once again thank you and we look forward to working alongside you for a lot more years to come. Kind regards Paul Lindsay Sales & Marketing Manager McKeown Petroleum CHRISTCHURCH Baby barns are designed to be tough, durable, versatile and just a little bit different.

 Check out this awesome shirt signed by the NZ Rugby League team from the England Test Series, November 2015.
We will be listing the shirt on Trade Me with a closing deadline of 16 October (the day after Ag Day). You’ll be able to bid on this as part of the Silent Auction on Ag Day and we’ll update the Trade Me auction accordingly, as the day progresses. This will give us a wider range of exposure to raise as much as we can for our school. And the added bonus is you can give your friends and family far-and-wide the chance to get their hands on it too!
Thanks so much to all those who attended the disco on Black Friday 13th! The kids had a great time! A huge thanks goes out to Disco Dave (Clifton) for supplying the sounds, amazing lighting and his time of course!!! Thank you so much to Bronwyn Dickison for her expertise and simple but clever decorating! Thank you Julie Wall & Anna Claridge who co-ordinated elements and worked through both discos!!! Huge thanks to all the other parents and teachers for their tireless efforts, who volunteered their time to shop, bake, set up, patrol, sell, pack down and clean up and without whom we couldn’t put on these events. Big props to Polly Joseph and Liesl Wolmarans who ended up continuing their fabulous face painting at the senior disco as well - you Stars!!! Roslyn Sentch was there helping through set up, both discos, pack down, clean up and returned the following day to ensure the hall was restored back to the expected level of cleanliness so big thanks to her especially! The PFA are pleased to announce that just over $2,000 was raised at this event and will be going towards things like playground equipment helping to get to the Wish List goal even quicker!
