BOOKBUSKING - FOSTER PRIMARY SCHOOL

Waiting their turn..........

On Friday December 2nd we had the best day ever with students from Foster Primary School. We set them up outside the bookshop with table and chairs, microphone and a large guitar case. From 10 am to around 2.30 pm 50 students read a small section of a favourite book. People passing stopped to listen and made very generous donations. This fund raising event may well become an annual event.

LADIES DAY AT FOSTER LADIES GOLF

101 Dalmations complete with dog bowls.

The Three Little Pigs with Wolf.

The Cats in Hats.

November 18 was a great day at the Foster Golf Course when it was invaded by characters from children's storybooks. There were a number of Cats in Hats, more Where's Wallys than I think anyone could handle (finding) Three Little Pigs plus Wolf and many more. We were very pleased to support the Foster Ladies in their annual 'housewives day', it seems like they had a record attendance.

The most entertaining aspect of the day was the arrival of Spot the Dog, who insisted on stealing the flag...................!!
