The 2025 Carols on the Common will be held on Sunday 14 December on the North Ryde Common.
Volunteers are needed, can you help? We are seeking help from friends of our club to assist with the many volunteer tasks that need to be undertaken on the day and during the evening of the Carols.
We particularly need strong, able people to help with the setting up and packing up phases of the event. The more helpers we have the quicker this can be done. If you cannot help with this the heavier tasks, there are a number of other tasks that may suit you better.
Please look at the tasks below and consider volunteering your time for one or more of these tasks.
These tasks include:
- Morning set up from10am-12pm
- Top car park assisting with directing cars and collecting payments: 3-10pm
- Bottom Car Park assisting with directing cars and collecting payments: 3-10pm
- Bucket Collection: 8.00pm
- Event Pack up: 9pm-12am ( the more people we have for this the earlier we can finish)
- Raffle ticket sales during the event: 4-9pm
- light duties can also be assigned
If you can assist in any way please let me know the times you are available and your preferred role/s by return email woodmal50@hotmail.com or call my mobile 0400803417 . If you have neighbours, friends, colleagues or family members who can assist even for a couple of hours, please let me know.
We will also need volunteers to help letterbox drop flyers around local streets the week before the Carols. Please contact me if you have a regular walk in the local North Ryde Macquarie Park area and are welling to letterbox drop a bundle of flyers as you walk.
Tickets for the Christmas raffle will be sold throughout the event with three baskets of Christmas goodies to be won. We are seeking donations of items to go in these baskets as part of the prizes. If you would like to donate some items such as bonbons, Christmas cake or pudding, shortbread biscuits, wine, serviettes or any other Christmas fare items please contact me by email or on my mobile 0400803417. We are also happy to take cash donations so we can top up the baskets with any items that may not be donated to make them more appealing.
The next meeting of the Carols Committee will be on Thursday 13 November at 7pm at North Ryde RSL Sports Club.
