jayjay Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 What a fantastic idea and count me in if you need any help. Probaly need to keep it fairly informal though as not to break health and safety rules and food regs .Especially if you are selling tickets different legistslation kicks in.

scottf Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 a meetup in a country park sounds like the best idea for the first one- if everything goes well then arrange something a bit bigger next time and so on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designbunny Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Yes, the reason they don't charge for Sheffield Fayre is to keep it open to all, but also because paying to get into an event means you have to look at complex health & safety issues, as well as insurance and security issues. Its best to keep the first one low key if possible, and then once we know that has worked well, then bigger BBQ's can follow! What about Devonshire Green? Perhaps the Forum would like to help out with buy 1 get one free drinks or something! They've had marquees there before. Or Heeley Millennium park - thats got loads of space.

technophobe Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Well done Sparklesista: youve really got this thing running..... What about selling raffle tickets - three winners to choose their own personal charities (Local charities a priority). As I dont know how to set up a 'vote for' list maybe it would be advisable at this point in time for one of the mods to attach a list of persons wanting to help so we can all vote. Its great everyone wants to help but gets a little crazy organising....just an idea... Iam crap at organising. Know Ive mentioned it before but can someone organise a doggy competition just to keep me happy. Considering there are so many dog lovers on the forum and it may even go on to develop a dog walking section. I can see the headlines now "Manic dogs set loose in Graves Park" Sorry back on thread. Iam willing to assist where I can nothing too taxing though. I LURVE PARTIES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklesista Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Yes, rest assured I will make sure there is a doggy competition for all you dog lovers out there just as long as they don't poop all over the place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentos2004 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 id be well up for that sounds like a great idea bring on the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklesista Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Ok, who's all the forummers out there that have voted no! I hope we can get it up and running - bikini's, booze, bbq, bouncy castles - I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designbunny Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 The raffle sounds like a great idea - its easy to buy books, or we could get some printed. If every member of the forum bought just one ticket we'd need at least 11,871 tickets! I'd suggest making a list of all the things which we need to make this thing happen - i.e. prizes, food, booze, entertainment etc and then get people to put their names down for each thing they'd like to help with. Bear in mind, last year we worked really hard to get the Trust organised for the Sheffield Fayre & 8 months disappeared very quickly!! There was plenty to do!
