Ah, the good old days of school fetes - mind you, the student versions are probably worse. I spent most of this afternoon dressed as an elephant. |

lol Netti!! Well the barbeque took about £5-600 and the white elephant and tombola stalls about £1,000 between them. They had two bouncy castles, raffle, pony rides and about 20-30 small stalls (pin tail on donkey, squirt the fish, catch the duck etc) which made about £20-£50 each. Of course there were EXPENSES (burgers etc being the most!)! But a lot of the prizes and use of the bouncy castles and ponys were donated by local firms etc. Note this is only the infants school! There is another, less well organised, fete for the juniors which would make a lot more than ours if they got their act together (because junior children tend to have their own money and are desperate to SPEND it!) We are not a posh school or anything either!!.....but it is big.....four classes to each year group..... Merry |
