The rostered Host Group is responsible for:

• Arranging a swap with another group if you are unable to do your roster on the appointed date.  If you need contact details of the group you wish to swap with, please contact Joan Flynn on 4473 9036 or email j4u@bigpond.com
• Discussing with your group prior to the SCCQ meeting, who is attending for hostess duties
• So that you understand that your group is not solely responsible for providing the food, please note that everyone attending the meeting is to bring something for morning tea or lunch, so that it is a shared responsibility
• Arriving at the hall at approximately 9:30am to set up the room prior to the meeting
• Supplying fresh milk and, as required coffee, tea and sugar.  Please keep a receipt for the purchase of these items as they can be reimbursed by the SCCQ Treasurer from petty cash
• Setting up five tables – one at the front of the room for the committee members, one either side of the kitchen for morning tea/lunch, and two at the back of the room for the Trading Table.  The chairs in the centre of the room are arranged so that they face the committee table with benches remaining along the walls.
• Setting up food tables – table cloths should be put on the food tables together with plates, napkins etc.  Napkins, tea, coffee and sugar are kept in the SCCQ cupboard at the back of the hall.  Cups, tea, coffee, sugar/sweetener and milk can be set up inside the kitchen area.  The urn should immediately be put on ready to serve tea or coffee on arrival and kept boiling throughout the morning and lunch
• Checking both the ladies and gents toilets to ensure cleanliness and supplies of toilet paper
• If necessary, heating up food as required.  Lunch is normally at 12noon.         Note:  when heating food in the oven it is better being heated for longer at a lower temperature than the other way around
• Washing up and putting away the china/cutlery etc.  The kitchen should be left in a clean and tidy manner
• Handing over to the next rostered group.  This includes discussing the status of supplies of tea, coffee sugar and handing over the hall and cupboard keys for the next meeting. Martha Trimmer from ‘Out of the Blocks’ will wash the tea towels and tablecloths and return them to the hall.
• Providing great conversations about their delicious recipes and enjoying their role as host.
