To Do List:

  • Order drinks van/s and suitable delivery time
  • Order soft drinks/water and see if the company will take back any cartons that are unopened OR promote within the school for stock drives
  • Keep receipts for expense claims for goods purchased for the stall, fill out the Purchase Approval/Expense Claim Form and give to the Treasurer so they can reimburse you
  • Send volunteer letter home, 4 weeks prior is good timing for this
  • Organise volunteer roster and email to volunteers, 2 weeks prior
  • Create a stall sign (if the graphic designer isn’t doing this)
  • Fill out Float Option Request Letter and give it to the Treasurer
  • The week before the Fete, collect your float, and sign for it

 

Fete Day:

  • Make sure you have the float and a waisted money bag or lockable money tin
  • Buy ice if necessary and set up van
  • Put price lists around your stall
  • Fill out the Stall Financial Summary each time money is collected and sign receipt book
  • Pack up and keep an inventory of left over products

 

Wrap Up:

  • You may wish to write a note to put into the Fete wrap up newsletter to thank your volunteers
  • After the Fete, don’t forget to prepare handover notes – download template below
