Dear PACT subscribers

Welcome to our October 2012 Newsletter

PACT Christmas Cards
We do not have leaflets showing the new designs for this year but they are available to view on the PACT website and in the office.  There are 9 designs, two of which have inserts in and they are all priced at £3.75 a pack. We also have some of last year's designs available at £3.00 per pack. If you are interested in taking a sample set or wish to order some cards please contact the PACT office. Please note we are only able to accept cash or cheques in payment and we cannot post the cards out. We also now have wrapping paper, diaries, calendars etc in the office.

Sprout Recipe Books
This collection of recipes featuring the humble sprout was the brainchild of two PACT Mums, Debbie and Rachel and though launched a couple of years ago now, it is still selling well.  The recipes are delicious and the proceeds come to PACT so there are two good reasons to buy a copy. The books are available for £5 in the PACT Office or via the Sprout Ladies' website at www.onceasprout.com There are also some celebrity signed books available, please contact Debbie on 07887 547697 for further information.

PACT Charity Ball 2013
Our Charity Ball will be held on Saturday 13th April (please note the new month) at Baldwins Omega, Sheffield. Tickets are £45 each which is great value for a meal, entertainment and a disco. If you are interested in attending, you can see all the details on the PACT website. 

PACT Christmas Party and Bowling
Please note the following new arrangements regarding the party. As it is really planned around the younger children we are restricting it to children aged 12 and under, with 2 accompanying adults per family. We are aware that for some children aged 13 and over the party is still appropriate and so exceptions can be made, please contact the PACT office to discuss this.

The party is on Sunday 2nd December from 11 am to 3 pm and will be in the 1867 Lounge at Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. We will have the usual games, magic and a disco together with food, face painting, a raffle and the Tombola. If anyone has presents suitable for the raffle, these would be appreciated.

If you would like to go to the party please contact the PACT office with the information described on the PACT website. We must have replies back before Wednesday 14th November as we have to order the food.  Please note that this event is only for PACT families and we cannot accommodate friends and extended family members.

For the children aged 13 and above we are arranging a bowling trip. Due to numbers, this trip is only for the child and siblings and not friends and other family members. If your child would be interested in going bowling please contact the PACT Office with the information described on the PACT website. Full details will be supplied when everything has been confirmed. It is anticipated that the trip will be on a weekday evening around the date of the party.
