The last couple of days have seen much activity as we prepare for our evening fundraising event this Saturday. I thought I was quite an organised person, but even with multiple lists coming out of my ears, it all feels a bit manic!
Niamh has spent this evening sorting out the raffle prizes, while I made lists for a seating plan, further stuff to buy, timings for the night, jobs still to be done and people still to contact.
We have money in envelopes and scribbled notes on bits of paper all over the place.
My friends and family have been an amazing support in getting the event organised and it finally feels that everything is coming together at last. I’m so pleased that my brother and his family will be coming up to support the event and my sister is flying in from Germany …can’t wait to see them all.
Our ticket sales have exceeded expectations, which is a huge relief. We still have a few left, so do let us know if you’d like some. We also aim to have some on the door for any last minute guests.
Some useful information …M
🏫 The address for the event is Bonis Hall, Bonis Hall Lane, Prestbury, Macclesfield SK10 4EF.
🕰 Start time is 6.30 …we went for an early start as we thought it would suit those bringing children (please let us know if you are, so we have a rough idea of numbers).
🚙 There is plenty of parking and we have been given permission for cars to remain there overnight, if you wish to get a taxi home and come back for your car the next day. (Cars left at owners’ risk).
🚗 As a rough guide, the cost of an Uber from Bonis Hall to Hazel Grove is £10.
🍻 There will be a well stocked bar selling Swan beer, lager, cider, wine, Prosecco, gin, vodka, Pimms and a range of soft drinks.
💷 Payment for drinks can be made by cash or card (there will be a 20p charge for each card transaction).
🍲 We will be serving a curry supper (vegetarian / gluten free option available too).
🎟 Raffle tickets will be available to buy on the night.
🎤 We have a couple of live performers who are kindly giving their time for free (thank you so much Ashleigh, Dan and Chris).
💃🏼🕺🏻 I hope everyone has a great night and look forward to seeing you all there xx
