I am beginning to do the planning for a summer fayre.

This will be a mixture of consulting local people, entertainment, activities and fundraising.

Costs must be kept low (hence the fundraising angle) We do have a whole park to use so any ideas?

I'll get me thinking cap on but if you need any help entertainment wise I'll see what I can do.. Or any help for that matter :thumbsup:

All assistance in the region of volunteers would be most gratefully accepted.

After all.... its for charideee mate!

Why not prganise a car boot sale? That would pull in lots of people.

Treasure Hunt????

We used to do loads of these as kids and as young adults.....cryptic clues 'en all.....in cars....even on foot......don't come across 'em so much now !!

:confused:

Tombola? maybe contact a few of the major shops in Sheffield to donate a prize.

Kids face painting is always a hit.

Bouncy castle?

Tombola is a good one..

We did that last year, Peter Stringfellow sent us a champagne dinner for 2 in his club, National express threw in the return coach to london and Alpha Rooms gave us a 4 star hotel !

Don't reckon Id be that lucky next time.

Which park will it be in?

We sometimes take a helicopters to events and offer pleasure flights, with some of the proceeds going to the event organisers as a contribution for their funds. It depends on which park it is (i.e. is it big enough to operate a helicopter from safely) and how many people will be there (i.e. will there be enough people to make it worthwhile?)

You could get the Fire Service in to do car washes, demos and smoke alarm selling.

Infact you could get all the Emergency services there and the armed services trailers. The marines boat simulator is fab.
The signals motorbike display team and the Red Arrows.

If you get them though Mr helicopter would have to stick to his helicopter kite which I've found no matter how fast you run it wont fly.

You can also do an Emmerdale and run a cake making competition.

Hope it works out, the scouts and cadets make great volunteers for those kind of things.

And if you ask the Fire Service really nicely, they will all turn up in inflatable ballerina tutus eh, Hadron?

Well it will be held in middlewood park and as well as the park side for the venue there are 2 football pitches away from the main area so possibly some room.

As for numbers, who can tell Im just in the planning stages at the moment.

If we get enough good stuff on the numbers should reflect that.

What I need are contacts, people who know people who have done this before and can, dare I say... help me.. in some small way.

I know one of the organisers who did Middlewood festival last year. My advice would be not to have anything to do with it if he is still involved.
Middlewood late shopper were also involved in doing it last year from what I remember.

lol.. Middlewood Late shopper tried ....:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

It was a total disaster but thats because it was primarily about them making money and it failed. No its totally charitable for the community. Check out the website

Middlewood Winners Ltd (http://www.geocities.com/middlewooduk/index.html)

I would not participate in anything that was 'masterminded' (ha ha) by MW lateshopper!
