PTA ideas

[unmumsy]

I have managed to end up as Vice chair having only attended a few meetings. It seems that everyone turns up just so they can say they are on the PTA, there is a lot of huffing, shuffling and clock watching. It's an exercise in how quick you can fly throught the agenda!I get the impression that the same events with the same stalls happen every year, any new ideas get scoffed at.First meeting after AGm is this week and I do have some ideas that I may put forward if I am feeling brave. One is recycling ink cartridges, has anyone else tried this and is it successful?Any other ideas would be fantastic please!!

If you're charging entry and selling raffle tickets and get a couple of wineboxes cheap or donated, it needn't eat up profits. If it was an evening event 8-10 perhaps?

Ah right, I see what you mean! Of course, if you can get the alcohol free then that's better

I'm not sure if a licence applies to the selling or the serving of alcohol though.

You can get a temporary event licence from your local council for £21, which will allow you to sell alcohol.
