Whitby Goth Weekend - April 2013

[twiggyandsarah]

This falls on 26th-28th April 2013. I would suggest the Saturday normally but apparently they hold a dog walk on the Sunday, meeting at the bandstand. I reckon this would give us an opportunity to reach a receptive audience!

So, what do we think? Anyone up for a collection on Sunday 28th April? Or would the Saturday be more convenient for volunteers?

Let me know and I'll book it!

I'd say go for the one that will make the most money.... if you get stuck for bodies Jon and I will come with the Greys

[Vanessa]

If you give me a nudge nearer the time. I will pop down with our hounds and give a hand the bandstands usually a good place to collect, also I don't know how you are fixed but a tombola is quite a good pull too,

[Vanessa]

Forgot to say you can usually get what the locals call dockend near the tourist information centre for tombolas too,to get these you have to apply to the harbour boarding think with your charity number on gap headed paper

Thanks. I'll go for the Sunday as I think that will give us the best shot at fundraising with the dog walkers.

Loopol, thanks for the suggestion but I don't know how I'd get the prizes for a tombola. I've got lots of 'precious items' that would go for a bric-a-brac stall but I don't know how worth while that'd be. I'll have to have a think on it.

Sarah - you know we love Whitby.Give us a nudge nearer the time and we can probably make the trip up north to boost numbers.Hopefully the dog mobile is now sorted!Cath

Now you know how much you love to dress up , so I say go forit ;D ;D

Sarah

A bric brac stall, or perhaps home collars could go down well, the bandstand is a pretty good captive area, but will watch this space,

Evie can you remember when we had the stall a few years back how the bric a brac go

[twiggyandsarah]

Thanks Cath. Would be great to have your company, provided you're not going to get stranded there again!

Bric a brac did not go so well, we made more on the tombola, as this will not be till next year I will put my thinking hat on, rope "auntie Karen" in and see if we can get something sorted for and with Sarah.

Think we should need about 100 prizes if memory serves right , but will check this out

[Jo&Chris]

Should be ok for us,

Think dog mobile is sorted now.Hounds arne't really up to dressing up but providinig Josh isn't here for the weekend we would be up for it.It's very good for Kiz and like I said - we love Whitby.Perry is still making up his mind about sand though!Cath
