To Do List:

  • Hire machines and order fairy floss and syrups
  • Think about how you are going to decorate your stall
  • Liaise with site convenor to discuss what equipment you will need (eg. tables, chairs)
  • Send volunteer letter home, 4 weeks prior is good timing for this
  • Organise volunteer roster and email to volunteers
  • Order napkins, cups, spoons, etc… with the person who is going to do the bulk ordering of supplies (probably Fete Convenor)
  • Create a stall sign if the graphic designer isn’t already doing one
  • Put price lists around your stall
  • Position price lists around the school
  • 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
  • Set up the machines and start making the products 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
  • Return machines
