ReikiAnge Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 The Oldies Club has been invited to attend a dog welfare event in Milton Keynes on the bank holiday weekend 25-26 August 2007. It is taking place at Willen Lake, Milton Keynes, and is organised by The Parks Trust and Milton Keynes Council, to promote responsible dog ownership. It sounds like a fantastic opportunity to try to raise awareness and funds for the Oldies Club, so we were wondering if any wonderful Fugees might be prepared to give up some of their time that weekend, to run a stall for us? The event organisers don't supply the stalls themselves, just the space, so we would need at least one volunteer with a gazebo and tables (we tend to use pasting tables so if you have one or two of those at home ...). If you would be able to do this for us and happen to have a gazebo and a table or two handy, that would be fantastic - please either post on here, or PM me We would need someone able to arrive early to set up the stall each day and stay to the end to take the stall down, and we would ideally ask for at least two adults to cover the stall so that there's cover for loo breaks etc. and just so that you have some company and don't have to do it all alone! If you can help at all, whether it be both days, or one day, or part of a day, please let us know - any offer of help is very much appreciated "Stuff" such as OC leaflets, rehoming posters, merchandise etc. will be sent to whoever is running the stall for us, in advance. If you don't have gazebos/tables etc., but could offer your time, please still post as your help would still be appreciated if we can find someone with the equipment for the stall too. Thanks - will keep my fingers crossed Any questions, please ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 just to add we only have the one gazebo so would really need to borrow another one ( plus a pasting table ) if we were doing the oldies stand as well can also supply chairs, tea, coffee and home made muffins ( home made by Ash so you are taking your life in your hands there ) to any volunteers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickentikka Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I am not 'posh' enough to own a gazebo but have a pasting table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Event opens at 11 each day and I reckon stall holders need to be there between 9.30-10 ( to get a space in the car park nearest the event ) Link to Map of area Willen Lake is just of Junction 14 of the M1 and a jolly nice place to visit , it even has a narrow gauge steam railway ( with trains you can sit on ) that runs around one side of the lake and Mark says if I am very good I can have time off the stall to have a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'm in MK and happy to help out, will check first with boss to make sure he's not planning anything for me work-wise that weekend. I may be able to ask a friend for the loan of their gazebo (how big does it have to be?). Will be able to confirm by Mon lunchtime if that's ok?

Rocky Hi Rocky Ours is a standard argos one and I think its 3M x 3M , its big enough to get our table under ( which is a pasting table covered with a sheet ) and a few chairs Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReikiAnge Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Thanks Sam Rocky, I would say a 3x3 as Sam has mentioned, or smaller, would be ideal. My gazebo was meant to be 280mm x 280mm but when it arrived was actually a bit smaller (240mm square I think) and I managed to get two pasting tables, at a right angle, under that, with a few chairs with no problem Thank you very much for considering helping the OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I was just looking at Argos to get the size of mine and saw that they have a 2.7M gazebo with 2 side panels for under 25 quid which if anyone is considering doing stands at events or shows is a bit of a bargain http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6502777.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Right I can definately to Saturday - no problems. Sunday I can probably set-up, will have to go to work, then come back and dismantle. I have a gazebo on order - the one same put the linky up for, I have one x pasting table and if the people don't collect the two folding tables from a conference we did I will be borrowing them too and also have a double chair thingy thing. If anyone needs to contact me, pm me and I will pm my number. Looking forward to meeting up with you all. Rocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
