Calis Craft Fair on Sunday

I have to say that Tony (AKA Pav) was just wonderful today, several people passing asked me if he was miming, simply because he sounds so authentic. After being there since 07.00 this morning, helping set out around 600 steel tables, removing street bollards, setting up the sound system, intervening with stall holders who had forgot their table number, set up on the wrong pitch, moved the tables we had set out and numbered, hadn't booked in the first place but set up a pitch, had booked two tables but demanded four, etc, etc, etc !

I stood there and watched his performance and thought to myself " WOW " even the bad things seem good.

This is the first one I've missed so am looking forward to some pics.
Glad it went well and hopefully raised lots for the charities.

In a nutshell George (you made me laugh) but spot on - a great day - another event well and truly installed on the Annual Calis Calendar and growing  :D

So how come I can't stand on it this morning Liz ?

I'm under strict instructions from Dr Chris to rest it today otherwise I won't get a fit for purpose pass for the promotion day tomorrow and the auction on Wednesday. The crutches are primed and ready, just in case !

Burnt.. Aching all over from walking miles up and down in the heat flogging raffle tickets. For which we raised over 600tl...Was it worth it.?  It certainly was..... Unfortunatley I wont get to see any of the children we are are helping this year but I will NEVER forget the others... Charity Auction next.. and George you dont get out of it that easy... Well done all the hard working committee yesterday.. Chrissie and Dizzy Jans organisational skills are amazing. No one knows the work involved in the bookings. Table planning. Lists upon lists. Conformation phone calls to all the stall holders... and lets not forget "The meetings".....I certainly wont lol... Good luck with the Promises Auction guys.  I will be hobbling along there... x

It was a superb day and we are the A***** team and all work together.  The sun blazed, people browsed, everyone seemed so chilled, we had Pav to entertain us and send shivers up your spine, that takes some doing in that heat!!! Every stall holder paid happily and most of all folk spent their cash!!!! You couldnt ask for more, well we could lol   ;)

Yet another unbelievable result. I simply do not know how you manage it every time - except through sheer hard graft and determination of course  :)
