So we had our winter fete last weekend and I've come away pissed off as usual. We have quite a large PTA but it's basically 4 or 5 people doing all the work. Lots of others floating about pissing on everyone elses' chips, bitching and getting very little done. New ideas met with lots of eye rolling. Almost impossible to get helpers for the day. Not much support from the school- except the same few teachers. Same old, same old.
We raise a reasonable amount of money because we have a biggish school - mostly from the Raffle.
But we have 2 Fayres a year- another one in June. I can't bear it. I spend the 6 weeks before working flat out in my spare time. I know I don't have to etc etc.
Has anyone come up with an alternative to a fair/fete at any time of year that could make us the same sort of money. One a year wouldn't seem so bad if we could do something else.
