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

[Heather Blakey]

Hi Andrew - I'm talking to Cat about a zine presence at mayday, next
monday, so i can talk to her about this too, if that seems like a good
idea.



> Hey Jules, just an idea - Cat Simons used to do craft days at the
> Treehouse.  I think they stopped because they weren't very profitable, but
> MayDay should hopefully be a whole other kettle of fish!  She might be up
> for running a stall, and making a contribution (I obviously don't know how
> much, and it might be income/profit dependent)  I don't have an email
> address or phone number, but facebook should come to the rescue, I can
> contact her if you think it might be a good idea.  Just a thought!

>> Okay, I've tidied up the spreadsheet to make the info more readable.
>>
>> At this point we are provisionally at 13 stalls from which we can get
>> £510
>> contribution towards the event (I am not counting the bar contribution
>> in
>> these figures).  These are not finalised and haggling can still take
>> place
>> to up the quantities slightly.  Plus there are still a few people that
>> have
>> expressed some interest in doing stalls that have not yet confirmed
>> figures.
>>
>> There are 7 stalls still left to fill (if we are getting over 10 stalls
>> then for the same cost we can  have up to 20 and this would be worth
>> doing
>> to try and get further funding from additional traders), so with a
>> target
>> of obtaining £1,000 minimum from stalls we are only £490 short at the
>> minute so I feel like progress is being made in the right direction!
>> (I've
>> estimated £50 target contribution each from the cake stall, raffle and
>> 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
>> whether they are realistic, and obviously the more we raise, the better
>> 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.
