From not having enough, we very quickly went - following some a couple of 'creative' appeals - to having more rummage than we could fit on to all the tables we could muster!
We had an excellent 'sales team', mainly supporters together with Joan Bromwell on the Bric-a-Brac and Adam Hodson on the bookstall.
The sun shone in the morning and we had a very good crowd who did some great 'rummaging'
We acheived an amazing result, seemingly totalling £505. This once again exceeding by a considerable margin what we have done before (and further boosted by a £20 donation from Janet Davis, a long time supporter).
Here are some comparison figures
| Feb 08 | Mar 07 | |
|---|---|---|
| Bric-a-Brac | £201 | £128 |
| Rummage and entry | £188 | £115 |
| Books | £44 | £21 |
| Bucket | £20 | £22 |
| Teas | £8 | £4 |
| Rag Man | £11 | £0 |
| Donation | £20 | |
| Other | £13 |
To everybody who did help in any way, a 'ginormous' big Thank You!
And then by 4 o'clock we had finished the removal of all items from the kitchen, Hall and Annexe to the QM and HQ stores to allow the Contractors a clear start on Monday morning.
Their work should be finished by the end of April/beginning of May just in time for everybody to see the improvements at the next big fund-raiser, the Summer Fair at 2.00 pm on May 10th
See you there
Gwyn
