It seems the blog has been hard to access or forgotten about by some, myself included, but there should be a facebook group and if possible a print out on the fundraising wall, so no excuses :)
Point 1 - CAKE SALE!
We have done so well with bake sales so far, £148 was raised this week just to remind everyone :D
To save everyone baking, and to manage our time better, the class has been split up into two teams. A and B. (list is on the door or fundraising wall)
So for the next bake sale on the 8th of November A will be baking and B will be selling. Then we swap every two weeks.
But Trish thought that we should maybe change tactics as bake sale posters for other departments are going up allover the place. Possibly a lunch time buffet?
Where we each bring in salad? sandwiches? potato salad? a nice healthy lunch but we would need to look into health and safety. Can we heat things up in the microwave? Or do we have to keep eveything cold?
£2 or £3 for a plate, they come into the studio and can eat there or take the plate away with them?
This may or may ot work but we should give it a shot, it might come into play next week after we check health n safety etc.
Point 2 - Badges and Cards
A fair few badges have been made so far but if we could have them all finished by the 4th of November so we can sort out prices and possibly sell them at the bake sale (possible lunch buffet) on Monday.
Carrie has the badge backs. 5 each.
But if we would rather make more x'mas cards than badges then it's not a problem :)
Carrie also has the cards and envelopes. People have been taking 5 or 10 to have done by the 15th November so that we can begin selling mid-november.
We are hoping to have a table set up downstairs at reception early December, they said this shouldn't be a problem.
We will each be setting the prices for ur own cards, depending on time spent/how much we would pay etc etc, but a minimum of £1.50.
Carrie is going to ask Hatti about a craft fair near x'mas in Pitimine (sp).
Point 3 - Calendars
Lorri and Caroline have had 12 pictures put forward for the calendar so it seems we are only doing 1 unless more come forward. They are just waiting on more card samples being sent as the last ones were pretty rubbish, but once they've got them printing should only take a week.
So get those 10 by 10 images in tout de suite!!
Last but by no means least
Point 4 - Fashion Show
A high percentage of the class have been worried about if this will be worth it in the long run and rightly so.
Will it take up too much time? as there is no point in comfortably being able to afford to go to new designers if we have no good work to show.
A few people in the class will be going to see Irvine/Irving this evening, meeting at 7.30pm outside DOJ to ask questions such as this, with the answers being put on the blog as soon as. It is also agreed that we will have a meeting after tonight to decide on the outcome.
POSITIVES:-
He has a lot of contacts in this area and a lot of experience. He is doing Face of Freedom 2010 in fat sams live soon. He also used to help DOJ students with fashion show for 20 years until 2003, no idea why it stopped.
He knows things that we wouldn't think of, such as insurance for clothes (as last years' 4th year did not have this).
Radio contacts
Newspaper contacts.
We could also sell the badges, cakes etc etc at stalls there.
Good publiciity for us if we decide to have items of our design in the show.
It's also good to put on your CV, that you can help manage and run a successful *fingers crossed* event
Questions:-
Ticket price? is £10 too high. perhaps £5/6 would be more reasonable?
How much time and effort is he expecting us to put in?
Will it be worth it?
Does he have his own models?
Date? after January.
Sophie and Celeste have both has experience with college fashion shows, they said it took a lot of rehearsals but they really enjoyed it.
REMEMBER it's to raise money, no freebies to friends. And we won't be bothering with goodie bags etc.
After tonights meeting we will have answers and a better understanding of the things he is expecting us to do.
