The Return of "The Odd Man Out"

Last years successful Odd Man Out competition is about to return to our village shops and businesses.

The CBA received the following pre-announcement:

As discussed, following the success of the 'Odd Man Out' Competition last year, Charing Primary School PTFA (Parent, Teacher and Friends Association) would like to organise this event again this year.

We would like to run the competition in the week leading up to the Church Fete, encouraging families to visit the shops, further publicise the Church Fete, and raise much needed funds for our school, and provide some fun for local children too!

It was fantastic how the shops and businesses entered into the spirit of the competition last year and I know my children loved it.

 

I would be very grateful if you could publicise this to your members, and on the website, I have put a brief description of how it works below!!

 

Odd Man Out Key Facts!!

 

• The shop/businesses that are participating put something that they DO NOT sell (an 'ODD' item) somewhere in their shop window
• The children of the village pay for an entry form, and over the period of a week look in all the windows and try and identify what the 'ODD' item is
• We would like to run the competition in the week leading up to the Church Fete with the winning entrant pulled out of a hat (of correctly completed entries) and presented with a prize at the Church Fete
• The PTFA would provide the prize (unless a Trader would like to donate one!) Many thanks to Wood You Like who donated last years prize.
• The competition will be open to all children whether or not they live in the village or attend Charing Primary School

Many thanks in advance, for your continued support of our school.

(A number of CBA members have already confirmed their participation - but of course we won't tell you who!)
