[Reclaimmayday] Stalls update - putting a positive spin on it :)

[Heather Blakey]

Hi all.

Ann, who is the contact for them and do you have a phone number? We can
check if they are able to make a small donation too.

Attaching a slightly amended spreadsheet.

Some of the figures were the maximum people said they could pay, so I've
put in the minimum, with the possible extra money in the next column, to
give us a more realistic idea.

Did a 'good day' definition for Pizza Pieces get discussed last night? (in
terms of numbers of people attending). I said I'd go back tomorrow and try
and finalise something with him.

I haven't totally wrapped my head round what happened with curry last time
- if it's a possibility again this year, that sounds good. Does somebody
who understands what happened want to a) make it happen again, or b) pass
on details and a name to get in touch with...

Ta.

Heather.

>> There are 7 stalls still left to fill (if we are getting over 10 stalls

>> minute so I feel like progress is being made in the right direction!
>> (I've

>> plant stall sales which would be an extra £150 which would mean only
>> £340
>> under target, but am not putting these figures in before I can clarify

>> the
>> event will be so won't be using £1000 as any kind of cap)
>>
>> If anybody has any suggestions on potential traders can they let me
>> know?
>>  It would be good to try to keep a good mix of stalls a) for interest
>> and
>> variety and b) so that we aren't messing any of the traders about - yet
>> more food stalls decreases the potential profits of those that we are
>> currently in discussion with.
>>
>> I'm going to go out tomorrow on a recon mission around the markets and
>> traders in Bradford to see if I can get any further interest from local
>> traders / craft shops etc.
>> I will also contact BCB to find out if there is any contribution
>> available
>> from them, will chase up First Aid and try to find a halal option curry
>> vendor.  I still have to go through the list Dusty provided yesterday of
>> last year's traders.
>>
>> Think that's all for now - if I've missed anything, please let me know.
