Fundraising Plant Sale

The kids' school have very kindly allowed me to sell our plants to parents after school. I need to look at our marketing strategy though as the ice cream stall moved and a lot of the traffic did not go past our stall as was anticipated. Some serious promotion is needed! We'll see if we can do better over the next couple of days (Aprentices eat your heart out, watch this space Alan Sugar) I need to get the orders for pots and baskets rolling in.

Had a support team meeting

The walkers and support team all met (in a pub) to bash out all the logistical details, there is so much planning involved in this event, we need a driver and backup person on support all the time from 6 am Saturday am to Sunday am with each person only doing 8 hour stints before having a rest, and we are trying to overlap personel so that at no time is there a completely new support team. we have been through all the check lists to make sure that we have all the equipment necessary. After having to use the first aid kit twice in a fortnight I have been through and made sure we have everything we need, including strapping that is up to the job instead of the flimsey bandage that was in the kit!
