It is from 11.00am - 5.00pm so I am asking everyone to be here for 10.00am to set up.

It will be held in the canteen area of the call centre.

£10 per stall - Will be going to charity

hi supermum have been thinking about the big event for the many interested parties on here and have been putting out a few feelers as you know my mate loopylou and i have done a few small local craft fairs in the past but in a former life i also ran a few vintage car events in a northern irish and all ireland scale so i would be well up for another bash .... i will be at belmont tower and bangor abbey if that's any help

Yet another badly organised event then - GRR......there seem to be more and more of them as places jump on the craft fair bandwagon without really thinking about the implications.

I agree re setting up our own!! But someone would then be in charge which would be very stressful aswell as running your own stall!

A few pages back I posted a request for anyone interested to forward me details of their crafts and I would include this in a mailer out to local schools - I thought all you mad crafty folk would jump at the chance of sort of becoming a group that could be hired en masse as it were. BUT Only 2 people replied!!

I drafted the letter, put lovely pics etc and posted out to 20 schools and so far have had 2 replies....I just dont understand what is going on this year...maybe schools are fed up of trying to organise it. But surely 10 tables paying £20 each for a 4 hour, well advertised event has to be worth it for the organiser? Surely it isnt too much to ask???? :rolleyes: And surely that is better than £45 for 3 hour catastrophe in a car park???!!!

I seriously think it is time to get together, hire a venue every now and then, somewhere different each time so it stays fresh, and see how we get on.....:T

I too would be interested!
