Another "Worlds Biggest Coffee Morning" Hampshire/Surrey

[Catbert]

Catbert's doing her bit for charity

St Lukes Church Hall
Grayshott, Hampshire
9.30 - 11.30

"Have a cup of coffee and make a difference"

(or tea, and homemade cake too!)

Thought it was worth doing. Any MNers in the area please come and say "Hi!"...

Thanks all...

Erm - it's this Friday (30th) By the way...

ahem.

bump. For the evening crew.

Bumping again. Shamelessly.

Bump

cat, how do we make a difference guzzling caffeine?
id love to come, just have tofigure out how far away you are from me. have you got a postcode?

Stitch where are you ?/

sutton in surrey.

Aaah - I provide the coffee, tea, homemade cakes, sparkling wit and hilarious anecdotes - and there's a suggested donation for each item consumed.

And no refunds if you find me as dull as ditchwater...

Here's a link to the Grayshott website. There's a multimap link for a map etc...

OK - now I think about it, the sparkling wit bit is how I always envisage me being when I host anything at all, but now I come to think about it - I usually end up a harrassed, stressed individual worrying whether everyone is OK...

Was going to suggest we went together, but we are quite far apart, I am in Farnham.

i think i might give this one a miss. have just realised how far away from me you are, and dont think i should attempt it during a school day.
hope it goes well for you.

Good luck Catbert - I'm having one in Greenwich and saw that you've had a bit of a do trying to recruit - so have I! Just thought I'd say hi and send good wishes for your event.

Thanks Jen... Good luck to you too.

I'm torn between wanting LOADS of people to turn up (and be totally unprepared for it) and having just a few mates and it being a bit sad and sorry!

Ah well - I'll learn for next year's anyway...

Oh - and this bumps again, for anyone else...

good luck Catbert - I'm having one at home for the Mums at DS1's nursery. I have no idea how many will come so we may have loads of cake to eat up!

Well - I would have gone for a fixed pricelist, and then thought "But what if a bunch of OAPs pitch up? I can hardly expect them to fork out £1.50 per coffee..."

So, I have gone with a board marked with "Suggested Donations" underneath which will go the donations box. I will trust to people's ability to pay and morals.

I was going to swallow the cost of the teas coffees etc, so that all proceeds of the event go to the charity. However, after having had a friend book my hall for me, I was then called this week saying there's a fee for hiring the hall regardless of it being for charity. Grrr. This is a CHURCH hall too!

outrageous catbert.
I am offering my house for free but also will donate the coffees and cake. I thought I would just leave the collection box out and also maybe do the car raffle thing they sent me.
I'm also puttng a photo of my friend who was looked after by a Macmillan nurse before she died and a little explanation - to show people why I'm doing it. It's my first time as well - I've alwyas been reluctant before because of their association with Nescafe so I'm glad they've gone with the Co Op now - I used my money off coupons today to buy some filter coffee and the yummy fairtrade chocolate cake!
