Our Past and Present
The Playford Community Christmas Pageant is the vision of the late Don Hardy, and the first pageant procession was held in 2003. This event has seen around 50 community groups & businesses that service the Playford Council area participate in the Pageant each year since then.
We want to see the event grow with the community participating and the public engaging in their local community and the wonderful groups that support it.
The Pageant is organised and run by a very dedicated and hard-working group of volunteers who care deeply for their community. Volunteers perform a variety of roles from helping with fundraising, marshalling at the event and many more things that keep our Pageant going and make it the best experience for themselves, the participants, and the audience. Without them, there would be no Pageant, so we are thankful to anyone who can offer their support in any capacity.
We are 100% community run and funded, no paid staff. Meaning every dollar, we raise goes directly into the cost of holding the event each year. Fundraising is vital to the Pageant, and we hope to be able to see more activities with more of our volunteers in the future to help support the event and keep it going each year.
Our Organising Committee
Our organising committee are the reason the Pageant is able to be put on each year. They work tirelessly every year to make the event happen.
We hold meetings at various times throughout the year with more meetings held closer to the event. The AGM is held in January or February each year where a new executive is elected and the remaining committee appointed at the first meeting or after.
The committee are always on the lookout for new faces with fresh ideas to help make the event bigger, better and to help make the workload lighter for everyone.
Our meetings are open to the public, so please feel free to come along and help us out and even volunteer to perform a role in the association. We have a variety of roles to suit all sorts of skills and training can be provided. If you can assist in any way, please have a look at our vacancies and complete our volunteer form. Then join us at the next meeting on our calander. We look forward to seeing everyone out there on Pageant day.
