I think it was agreed at a previous meeting that the contribution
from Mr. Pizza would be based upon the fact that he is allowed to
trade until 10pm. If he is the only person that this has been
agreed with then I'm sure that this can be accommodated somehow.
The stalls were looking iffy due to the fact that Richard from the
council appeared to assume that this event was a corporate one and
therefore we couldn't have the stalls at the previously agreed low
price meant for schools and community organisations.<br>
<br>
In my conversations with him I made it clear that this event was an
opportunity for numerous community organisations to provide info to
the general public, and that the music entertainment and food stalls
were just a draw for the crowd to provide the financial backing to
allow the event to go ahead (he's corporate and I told him what he
wanted to hear - so sue me) - also that we were non profit making
and that the majority of stalls would be used for community and
campaign groups and NOT commercial organisations.<br>
<br>
There was an issue whether we could have the stalls at all - let
alone until 6pm, though I have managed to secure the stalls
agreement for definite until 6pm. Is there any chance that RtR
could guarantee this one stall (or other food stalls - max 3) until
10pm - Richard is perfectly happy to let us have them until 10pm if
RtR as a professional organisation are involved in the clear down.<br>

I don't think many of the stalls except catering would
want to be open<br>
late. Nina said she would stay late. I guess we need to
check with all the<br>
food places...<br>
<br>
It might be good for the event if there was food later
too?<br>
<br>
Would it be possible to do a food tent without using the
stalls for it (if<br>
there's a spare big tent from the uni)?<br>
<br>
Would we be able to get hold of enough sturdy tables for
that?<br>
