Did you have a School Fete and if so, how much money did you make?

[Collision]

Just wondering what the average amount of money is really.

We had one yesterday and apparently made about £5,500.

We had one today

No idea how much but most of it will be from dh and I on the silent auction

Thank god he got beaten to the signed Arsenal shirt at the last minute..

Typically our summer/Christmas fairs raise around £8 to £10k each. We're in an affluent part of SW London with some sleb parents and lots of help and support. [Waves to CountessDracula!] My kids cleaned me out today, but we had some lovely cakes.

Ours was yesterday and we had such a great day!

the weather was lovely and we had an 'Out of Africa' theme.

we raised over £6000 which was brilliant and ds2 said it was 'the best day of his life!'

what did you bid on CD and what did you 'win'?

fark!
ours is next Sat, I think they typically raise about £1,500.
Small village school, about 100 kids.

Hi singersgirl!

I think I won half a day with a personal stylist for about £15 which is a bargain

Plus a month's free membership at the Riverside Racquet club (fab outdoor pool for August! £120 ish which is good gvien it costs £400 a month)

And a dog wash at the posh dog washing place!

Our large (450 pupil) school in a not very affluent area makes around £2,000. We sweat blood for that.

We had our summer one on saturday but havent heard what they made, the winter one raised anout £450 - about 70 children in the school.

Summer fete was on Saturday and we raised about £4500, which was the highest ever!
400 or so pupils, average area.

Kids loved it too, which is the main thing.

Both came home with loads of old tat, face painted and too many sweets. What child wouldn't be happy with that!

190 children
Bog standard primary (no slebs!)
We made £2750 (our best ever)and it was BLOODY hard work

(our raffle prize was 500 litres of oil ..very glamorous!!)

School of 350, very average area, and we typically raise 800-1200. They have switched to having the school fete on a Friday afternoon rather than Saturday midday, but I'm not sure it gets more people in. We struggle to get anybody to help on the stalls.

what would one do with 500 litres of oil??

£1.5 k

not much considerign we made 1.6 at an acution of promises and disco

put it in your oil tank - worth about £250/£300. Presumably they are in a no-gas village (as I am).

oh I see
what if you have calor gas like my father?

I think an iPod Touch was top prize at ours

go tis another world

what is?

these schools that make 10k

£1200

200 pupils

ALL school & PTA activities. We've ditched the 'professional' stalls (new toys/choclatier/jewellery/makeup/candles/new clothing etc. Our parent's just didn't want to spend their money on new stuff.

Tombola's (bottle & chocolate) do a roarong trade.

bloody hell

our fairs regularly make about £1500 maximum .. I'm shocked at making 5-10K is that gross or net?

I think i personally made about £1000 in half an hour on the lucky dip

I tell you they were ADDICTED

One family of black face painted puppies kept coming back and back

suspect someone may have put crack in the dip prizes

oh and I got to letch at Philip Glenister (bonus)

Fairly affluent part of Surrey, generally about £5k.
