DELEGATE Public School students will be standing (or sitting) grandly at various events thanks to a $7000 grant from the NSW Variety The Children's Charity which allowed it to buy two portable grandstands.

The grandstands - which each fit around 18 children - are made of lightweight aluminium and have wheels, so can be easily stored on their sides against a wall and moved to wherever they need to be.

Principal Brad Bannister said the school was grateful for the grant and a visit on Thursday by around 40 people and officials involved with the Variety Adventure Bike Ride which left Jindabyne on and finished in Jindabyne on March 22.

Students enjoyed seeing 20 motorcycles and 10 four wheel drives file into the school grounds, where participants - who raise money for the charity through participation and sponsorship - were provided with a locally sourced lunch (which included lamb casserole donated by a local farmer).

"They dropped in 12 months ago and said they wanted to come through town this year and asked if we would be able to provide them with lunch," Mr Bannister said.

"They have been giving grants to most of the schools along the route of the run and we were fortunate enough to be included. The grandstands will be very useful, for assemblies and other events."

The Variety Adventure Bike Ride is one of five motoring events organised by the Variety The Children's Charity NSW/ACT for the year to raise $3-3.5 million a year to help change the lives of kids in need. It is staffed 90 per cent by volunteers.

The other events are the Variety Bash, which typically involves 120 cars each May, the B to B Bash, which came out of the Dick Smith Variety Bash, the November Postie Dash, which involves 124 postie bikes and a four wheel drive event in March.

Money raised goes to underprivileged, sick and special needs children, on equipment and scholarships.

"Applying for grants is a very simple process," Mr Bannister said.
