You will notice sometimes the C&S/CAS activities on Veracross have full sign on them. This does not always mean they are full. It may also mean they have not yet opened for registration. Both the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Pfrang Sports Day have not yet opened for registrations. When they do open for signups there will be places available. I expect the Pfrang Day helpers will open at 1.00pm Wed and the Mid Autumn Festival will open after the National Day holiday. I am waiting for confirmation of how many places are available before opening.
