What is ‘Fete in a Box’?

Our ‘Fete in a Box’ Countdown is the predecessor to our book: The Practical Fete Handbook for Fundraising Event Organisers! The book contains all of the information in this article and so much more – consolidated in an easy-to-read format, including the bonus: 99 Fete Stall Ideas! You can buy the book in printed form or as an eBook here.

1 Week to Go! It’s time for:

☐ Convenor

Convenor packs
From fb:Parking-I found having a parking space reserved for special guests and first aiders helped with getting them in on time. Fluro vests for yourself and other committee members to be easily seen. Command tent/central post for lost and found. Extra tickets or wrist bands for ‘lost’ tickets (most likely still in the bottom of their school bag if you send them home the day beforehand like we do).
Have a person who will be your helper for the day. So much happens that you can’t be everywhere at once. Someone you trust and is happy to do lots of odd jobs on the day.
Have fun, stop, take a breath and take it all in. It’s a magical day!
Plan where things are to be kept until the day
Plan to get things out of storage where are they going? When?
Lanyards contacts special sticker for money collectors
Activity declaration form for Insurance – 7 days prior in Qld
Organise lifeline (etc) to pick up leftover 2nd hand goods
Make map/phone number lanyards
