I wan;t to do the cake stall and be all Ma Larkin with my scrummy cakes and pinifore - sadly I had other things that had to be done and the wanker had DD for the weekend and I did not want to bump into him there - although in the end he couldn't be arsed to take her!!

White elephant so can nick all the best bits

standing behind any table/stall all day ... boring walk around with the raffle tickets, good idea, you get to have a gossip along the way and because no-one can refuse a buy a raffle ticket you have a great opportunity to force all the really tight people to spend money they don't want to

yes beety it worked - what a good idea! When I said tea towel, we've had ones where all the kids in the school (village school, not that many kids) drew a picture of themselves and they had them made into tea towels

Beety, DS1 was given that bear with his nursery logo on it when he left! It was so lovely.

SoupDragon · 24/06/2004 16:19

Oh, and to answer your question, I'm with Lou. None of them! DS1s class has been allocated the Lucky Dip stall which is probably a good one.

Bagpuss30 · 24/06/2004 16:35

I'm with lou33, couldn't stand it I'm afraid. Fortunately we were on holiday this year .

SoupDragon · 24/06/2004 16:36

I'm doing the posters and programme - no contact with the public required!

lou33 · 24/06/2004 16:41

Luckily I don't do the school runs so can have no interaction at all

Bagpuss30 · 24/06/2004 16:41

shudders at the word committee.....

Flip · 24/06/2004 17:22

I'm on the committee at ds1's school. It's my way of saying sorry for putting such a brat into their school.

I've been going around harassing local businesses for support and prizes. I'm also running the bouncy castle and making balloon animals. The mother-in-law has been making cakes all week and at the last count there were over a hundred.

The fair is this weekend and rain looks likely so I think it's wellies and waterproof coats.
