Before Sat Oct 31, could you
€ Letterbox drop your area?
€ Put up Fete posters in local shops and cafes?
€ Help set up tables on Friday 30 October?
€ Help sort out goods brought into school during the week beforehand?
€ Canvas businesses for prizes/donations?
On the Day
€ Look at the top list and volunteer to person a stall for 1 – 2 hours. We will give your name to the co-ordinator to contact you. The cake stall, books and BBQ are almost OK for volunteers but the others need people.
We need people with the following SKILLS
Busking, giving massages, face painting, sticking on temporary tattoos, animal balloons, making popcorn with necessary equipment, other….?
We need people with advertising ACCESS
to local magazines, newspapers, radio stations, email networks to advertise the Fete.
White elephant, toys and clothes?
At this stage there won’t be white elephant, toys or clothes stalls because at the last Fete, the Hall was full, too few people were able to sort out all the stuff and bus loads were taken to Tempe Tip afterwards. However…..if you love bric a brac and are prepared to organize a white elephant stall, then please make contact and we will go ahead because many people do love browsing through bric and brac and others love to create space in their homes.
To offer to help for any of the above or to ask questions please contact:
