I feel that my project is coming together well now with all I wanted to investigate and do being done. I am pleased with how my paper tutu photographed in the Photo-Story and with all the individual shots from it. I am so glad I used black and white film, I feel the outcomes are very powerful and tell much more of a story than the colours. Also experimenting with various ways of executing the Photo-Story has given me new skills and problems to deal with. Working with the Girls has been a really good opportunity see theirs and others work and how they have influenced others on my course. They have been very helpful and were great models that produced great photos.

When creating my digital version of my Photo-Story I started using InDesign, once that was completed I also decided to do one in Illustrator too for different effects. My Illustrator version (below) is more polished I would say, where as the InDesign version is a bit more 'cut and paste.' The cut and paste feel I feel is a direct response to the Girls and their work.

Mounted Photo-Story

Putting all my images together in a Photo-Story style has really shown how well they all work with each other. I have 'cut out' the girls in a couple of the photographs to give a real authentic comic like feel to the strip. When mounted up together the contrasting colour and black and white shots really compliment each other. The differences in both are brought out and highlighted because of the contrast.

Parts of comic strip Photo-Story

Using photoshop I used the 'coloured pencil,' in artistic filter, then used the 'cut out' option. After this the image was quite cartooned, so I just adjusted the brightness and contrast to make the image a bit sharper. I think the results created are really appropriate for a photo-story.

My final photo-story will be put together in a comic format on one large board, I thought I could experiment though digitally and possibly create a digital photo-story as well.

More shots from Selfridges

I'm really pleased with how all my black and white photographs have come out. They were well worth the LONG development time! The monochrome makes the Girls look elegant, classy, almost majestic.

I think a combination of black and white and colour shots will really bring out the images in my photo-story. I shot the beginning and end of the story in colour and the rest in black and white to achieve this.

just wondering if u guys have seen the email from Tammy regarding the fact that she and Az have decided for construction students to do the fashion show....without really asking us about it. Just wondering what you think bout it because I for one am a bit angry with her...it's still our event after all.

Hello

Thank you for your email.

I have contacted you previously regarding this event, explaining the procedure and what is required in order to host an event on council land.

You will need to complete an application form and submit this to us along with a risk assessment and copy of your public liability insurance document. You will also need to provide risk assessments and insurance details for any external companies you are using for your event.

I believe it may be necessary for you to attend a meeting to discuss your event further so please let me know some times and dates you are available to come and see us.

I look forward to hearing from you

Many thanks

none of the cake girls have certificates and it costs 25quid plus vat to get one, can all be done online though but MISSION I’ve told Nat, doubt any of them will want to do that though....unless we could work it into our budget!xxxx

Naomi Farmer 17 February at 19:33 Reply

oh shit!!!! that's not good. I doubt we can do that to be honest. maybe one of the third years might have it?xxx

Naomi Farmer 17 February at 19:50 Reply

Vicky's response when I asked bout Josh Djing;

yeah that’s cool! Olly and josh said they would be up for doing it, just give them a rough playlist and they can work out a mix for you :)

Tasha J 17 February at 19:50

I know. maybe rubbish to the max!!xxx cool about the DJs :) xxx

I have been looking at Polaroid stuff and it is VERY hard if not impossible to get hold of the 500 film mine will need, as Polaroid have stopped making film. I've been advised to look in some photo stores so I shall have a look in a few to see whether it is possible to get hold of enough to work with...think its still going to be 10quid for each film which is 10 shots. can we have a definite number of shots we're going to take?

will 100 shots be enough? 150? I think we should push for it as the idea is original and will look great if we do it...?I shall keep you informed with my hunt xxxx

Tasha J 17 February at 20:59

just found 7 packs of film for $40 on eBay, which is GOOD bidding ends in 22 hours though!!!

I've just found a power generator place...ground power??? did we get a quote from that one in the beginning. ?xxx

hey girls, I have just added to the WBS but feel free to alter it, and I only did a rough color blocking, not sure about who is def doing some of them, so we can re discuss that. I will email to u both. I think we should start using this thread towards our hand in stuff so I will copy over that thing I posted to the thread Naomi sent me with her email, I was getting confused lol!!I hope you get the film on eBay!xxxxx

Danielle Casey 17 February at 22:18 Reply

NAOMI: cool, I have got confirmation from Josh that him and Olly can DJ if we give them playlists, then they will put them in a mix for us. That saves money from previous Battenburg DJ's. I've also asked Scott with reference to the selling stall, but as of yet no one else is interested in helping him. I'm getting on the case for more generator quotes as we speak. Scott's also given me a list of all the clothes he can donate us. Kelly Baxter has replied saying that she is interested in doing posters/ leaflet designs if needs be and will help us if we need it.

With reference to the gazebo's I think probably best for one each if we can afford it, because of weather etc but perhaps could intermingle different stalls.

my email is nfarmer88@aol.com

Thanksxxx

Danielle Casey 17 February at 22:19 Reply

yes I am thinking I know its expensive but maybe we can get a deal somewhere but it would be so helpful if it is a bit drizzly because stuff wont get ruined. also we can safety pin the signs for each stall up on them. xxxxx

Right well I've found a company based in bournrmouth that deals with outdoors events, supplying staging, silent generators and PA systems. So fingers crossed they're cheap n cheerful.xxx

ooo good one :) I just had a look on Google sites at that voluntary work in south Africa, its all so expensive :( but the lion cubs are so cuuuute!

Danielle Casey 17 February at 22:43 Reply

Hi Danielle,

Be good to meet and go through it all.

Staging wise talk to AUCB caretakers, I am sure they used some for the fashion show last year. Otherwise get your three quotes a from else ware and ask for dimensions and put them in, you can always change them slightly. There are enough bars attached to hotels such as the Exeter and bar 1812.

In terms of businesses involved, the council will want insurance an kiencea from people that will be at the event on the day (stalls and others). If LMP are involved it's unlikely they will be there on the day (maybe a few models and Paul) selling etc. If they ask for businesses involved and require licenses for all just do not let them know about LMP (you can always bring them in at the last minute).

I will speak with Paul and see when free.

Best,

Joe

Hi Joe,

WOW the council gave us a lot to do!!!

We will have to meet you next week, are you free Weds and tell you all in detail.

But for now, just wondering if you had any contacts re the staging? I think we will need a stage, but we need to let the council know the dimensions etc for the site plan ASAP. Do you know whom we need to ask?

They also said they wouldn’t support local bars donating us free fruit juices to give away because they have partnerships with businesses like hotels etc that help bring in tourism trade, the opposite of bars etc. But we are thinking, hotels wont give us free fruit juice...? or do you think if we put their name on some banners in front of stalls as advertisers they may?

Also, sorry there’s a lot here, we were wondering is there any chance we can meet with you and LMP next week or soonish? We need to let council know what businesses are involved etc and their insurance etc (all such boring stuff...) ASAP.

Give me a call or whatever is easiest. I’m not in Bournemouth Friday but I’m around tomorrow if you'd rather meet for a quick chat, think the girls might be too. Oh and if you're too busy for all this tell us!!

Thanks so much,

I've asked Joe if we can meet weds

Naomi Farmer 18 February at 20:47 Reply

oh brilliant...would be great!

Here is a conversation that I’ve had with Hattie regarding helping and stall design.

Naomi:

hey got your message...

we'll put up piccies for u soon. We're getting proper plans drawn up as we speak. As for research, are you putting our event into your project then? Cos as of yet we need specific things as to who does what stall...for instance for the cake stall we need to show the council a food hygiene certificate, that one of you must have!...(I know it's all a bit here, there n everywhere, but we've only just found out this info today!) We may need to switch a few people round depending on this. It's optional whether you put our event into your project, sketchbooks etc, or you can just have fun, help us out n give us a hand on the day or on the run up to the event. We just need to know how dedicated you want to be and how big a role you want to play.

Hope this kind of helpsxxx

Naomi Farmer 18 February at 20:48 Reply

Hattie:

ok cool thx for getting back to me. ill get in touch with the other girls regarding the cake stall- what is this certificate and how to we get one? could we get in contact with an outside bakery or cake company who may already have one and we could manage the visual display element of the stall?

I would like to be involved with the project- in my head I was kind of thinking just the stall and like I said the display element but if you post up maybe a list of jobs that need doing I'm sure I could help out- just don’t really know what needs to be done!

I no this must be so so stressful for you at the moment and hope to help in any way possible :)x x x

Naomi Farmer 18 February at 20:49 Reply

Naomi Farmer 18 February at 19:48

aww thanks! yea I know it's a bit stressful but a lot of people seem happy to help which is great! The original plan was for Tamsin, Nathalie and Liz to bake the cakes themselves as delegated by Tammy, but we need a food hygiene certificate which will cost 25 quid to do, but it's a lot of hassle and we could get a professional company in like you said to get over this issue. As for stall design that would be great...we need designs for each stall, all we want is to keep the colors in tune with R.I, the rest is up to you guys really. We need to try and source everything for free though as budget is tight...although part of the challenge I suppose. We might also want a uniform signage for each stall...but again that might be an aspect you're interested in. Any more questions feel free to ask...and we're grateful for any help we get! Thanksxxx

Danielle Casey 18 February at 21:46 Reply

Hey girls,

that sounds good then! I have spoken to third yrs again and they have 2 people with food hygiene certificates, so I have said for them to do cakes if they want to, which would be a big help and issue sorted.

They also have a few people who might have CRB checks so they can float around and get called to dress up if needed.

got stage booked for sat 17th April :) and sent dimensions to Tash to be put on the plan. facilities management only have 6 tables so we need to source 6 more.

Joe said he is lunching with Paul from LMP on Friday so we will know more about that then.

hope your day with little ones went well Naomi :) xxxx

Danielle Casey 18 February at 21:47 Reply

oh ps we will need to tell the keen cake makers that they cant do it... but we need to find them some fun alternative to put a positive spin on it I think...

Naomi Farmer 19 February at 09:10 Reply

kk well Hattie was saying that she didn't want to make the cakes but was interested in the design of the stall. Would the 3rd years want to design it or shall we say they can still design the stall itself? To clarify Claire Hadley and Izzie still want to The Girls stall. I will text Natasha and see if she can sort out the original cake girls as that was one of her email jobs. I'm still on the case of generator but just thought that if Josh dj's we will need to get a PA system as they don't have their own kit. hmmmmm it's all a pickle really, as what generator depends on what PA.

There is also a fine art student that wants to show a sculpture piece at our event...I thought we could perhaps meet her some time next week?

Hope you have a good time at LFW xxx

Naomi Farmer 19 February at 11:23 Reply

The river island logo we have permission to use, sent from Natasha Young I have sent u in emails. Still waiting to hear back from generator quotes and Jugglers

Naomi Farmer 19 February at 12:01 Reply

The only previous entertainment still to confirm is cheerleaders and actors. Have you guys got the contact emails for these? I will also try and find a sand sculpture bloke. As for new stalls it's just the one that Scott might do if he finds anyone. We also need to hear back from Katie as to what accessories and stuff, so I can send the details back to council and trading standards. When you guys get any info in terms of insurance and risk assessments from surf n volley forward the docs to me and I can put it into the official document and send it off.

Thanks much love xxx

Tasha J 20 February at 12:51

I have cheerleaders info to confirm everything and get risk asses from them so will contact her, Hattie has said to them it's well worth doing though...and they have a comp the week before so will be all good!

Going to do the plan today so will send as soon as it’s done

I have 4 designs from the sticker/flyer man with quotes....which sounds really reasonable...the design looks awesome too

I shall send it via email to you guys.xxxxxxxx

haven’t heard back from jeweler girl about whether they know about trading standards etc

Tasha J 22 February at 09:32

Hey babe

Danielle has found some 3rd years with the certificates so they're going to do the making, but I presume you could still be involved with it if you wanted?

Are you able to confirm that the cheerleaders can definitely do a small display at our thing?

It’s 17th April from 12-4 and obviously I'll let you know the exact time you'll be on.

We need gay stuff for the council for you like risk assessments and insurance details, could you find out from your coach about yours or pass me on her details again please?

found some more film, 40 shots...bidding at £30 quid at the moment though, I'm watching it.xxxxx

Tasha J 22 February at 10:08

bidding on a few now...shall I just buy if I see a good deal guys?

there’s one lot of 13 films which would completely do us...current bid is 57.11 dollars so obviously we could go up to max price we were thinking of spending on them as that’s all wed need

but I don't want to buy until the council have confirmed were having it

ahhh!!!they're all for a few days so hopefully council will let us know for sure in the next couple of days!xxxxxx

Also have just sent you both an email with the finished logo for the stickers/flyers let me know what you think!xxxxx

Tasha J 22 February at 16:47

Sent the site plan to Chris, he's sending it on to the beachfront people. told us to get started with the risk assess stuff and I said we already have started! :)

Danielle Casey 23 February at 11:35 ReplyOh great, ok. The stickers are awesome! love it!! that man is so clever!

I will get on to the surf people and ask if they have risk assessments etc, things are going a bit slow atm as waiting on peoples replies...

I have asked Joe if we can meet tomorrow. We need to meet up, us 4 and sort new delegation etc, I'm thinking about the bars we want to collaborate etc etc

Tasha J 23 February at 13:47

yes I've texted the cheerleader, waiting for her response

have you sorted a time for tomorrow then?xxxxx

brilliant I love the stickers too! AMAZING!! Generator not going well at all...found three local companies but all of which are not very reliable at getting back to me, as for power Josh hasn't got a clue, so still none the wiser on that one. Still awaiting reply from Juggle soc but I have downloaded n am sorting out the risk assessment form as we speak, we really have to think of everything but before I send it off I will be needing the performers forms. Everyone else is still involved n good to go. Got a reply from Justine saying that they will be giving away the accessories as selling will avoid the trading standard stuff. Yes we need to meet, atm I am ill with flu, but just give me a time n I will try to be there.

aw, poor girlie! Get well soon!!Jo has said 3pm and he will see if Paul from LMP is free.

I have maybe a solution for dj, Libby has a well-known DJ friend with his own kit and she is going to ask him if Vicky’s bf can do a set on his kit too (if Josh still wants to)

He also has public liability insurance.

I suggested we perhaps meet with him and Libby and maybe even josh etc to sort dj kit/power/insurance/risks

I have sent a general email to all of acting re street performers as that living statue girl's mailbox is full and it bounced back. I will try her another day when she may have emptied it!!

Shall we meet up tomorrow at about 1 or something and discuss/update schedule. Also volleyball club want to meet, I suggested tomorrow afternoon but we will see.

and Bournemouth surf school is keen xxx

Tasha J 23 February at 21:51

that all sounds good good apart from the flu!

I am good to meet whenever just text me let me know when I’m in uni early at like 9ish anyhow

the cheerleading coach is being a bit odd about them doing a display

ill show you the texts am a bit confused about it cause Hattie said it was all fine...she seems quite anti it, but is talking to the girls on Wednesday when they're training

my old housemate used to do it though and was quite involved with all that so she might speak to her and sort things!

Did you find out if that was the correct size of the stage Danielle?

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Danielle Casey 23 February at 21:55 Reply

no I haven’t yet. I will pop into the facilities again tomorrow, but he seemed pretty sure if was feet...maybe he got the numbers wrong... I will check tomorrow.

no worries about the cheerleading, at the end of the day we can probably find some thing else to put on if it doesn’t go ahead. xxx

:s oh dear! well if we don’t get much response on the general email to the actors I think we should pop into acting (no idea where it is though) and see if they want to put a little show on or something. and Ricky mentioned that the make up artists were really keen to help out the first yrs in their photo unit so maybe they would like to contribute nr the dress up area...? xxxx

Tasha J 24 February at 10:06

Hi

Our PR department here are going to work with you to secure some local PR, can you send me a 1 pager of what your event is, when it is, partners, promotion etc for me to give to her by end of day tomorrow?

Give me a ring today if you want to discuss 0207 518 1600. what is your phone number?

Kind regards,

Naomi Farmer 24 February at 21:30 Reply

The above email was sent from Natasha at R.I sounds good but we have to get it done by tomorrow. I was wondering if we could just use the business plan and cut it down a bit? If not I will do the 1 pager myself. When she says partners though we haven't actually secured any yet. I will bring the risk assessment form tomorrow as well in case there is anything I have forgotten. Then we can send that off to the council, shame we are waiting on people to get back to us so much. It doesn't seem to be getting anywhere fast at the moment and I’m a bit scared now! hehe. awww hope you feel better

Tasha J 24 February at 21:33

that’s great about River Island

Chris emailed me back he said he'd replied to you Naomi/??I shall paste it below

Hi Natasha

I did send an email to the email address on your application – nfarmer88@aol.co.uk

It said

Hello

I have heard back from the seafront department regarding your event.

Please find a location map of where they believe your event will be best situated.

This location benefits from nearby public toilets, refreshments at one of the Traders along the seafront and links with the surf school and volleyball. I believe you should contact our Coastal Recreation officer Matt Lloyd on 01202 451738. He will be able to help you with the surfing and volleyball aspects of your event.

The seafront department has said they have no objections to you selling cupcakes. So please let me know if this is still going ahead and remember to adhere to the conditions we mentioned to you in terms of risk assessments, public liability insurance, food hygiene certificates, and trading standards regulations concerning correct labeling, pricing, packaging and weight.

I look forward to receiving your paperwork.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

In regards to your email, you cannot leaflet down at the seafront as this is not permitted. We will not authorize you to play music while you are leafleting in the Town Centre and I’m not sure exactly how you having a laptop to show your trailer would work?

In order to obtain permission to leaflet in Bournemouth Town Centre you will need to speak to my colleague Fab on 01202 451879.

Many thanks

Can be used for both exterior applications and interior as it is fire retardant in accordance with DIN 75200.I price individually rather than by fixed sizes but some typical prices for recent jobs are;

610mm x 1830mm = ?35.99 Inc VAT

680mm x 2000mm = ?49.22 Inc VAT

700mm x 3600mm = ?58.95 Inc VAT

For posters, these are printed on 220gsm satin finish poster paper

10 x A3 posters = ?52.60 Inc VAT

20 x A3 posters = ?75.00 Inc VAT

10 x A2 posters = ?92.80 Inc VAT

20 x A2 posters = ?156.00 Inc VAT

You are not limited to fixed sizes and they can be the same (supplied) artwork or 20 different artworks.

Best regards

Below is the email I sent to Helen, the president of the juggle soc....she seems to think our event is in their half term. Does BU have different holiday dates? Is it me or does she seem a bit funny about it? surely she could just give us a copy of the risk assessment now? I'm still in correspondence with her as we speak n awaiting next reply. Maybe I should place them in our risk assessment then send off their individual ones at a later date...otherwise we will waiting forever to send off the risk assessment to the council. What do u guys think?

Hi Naomi

I remember you getting in touch before, Congratulations for getting through to the final 4.

I would be interested in getting involved, although, I would have to confirm interest with the society members, because this event is in the Easter holidays and many students go home at this time. I would also have to check that the university insurance covered us for a performance outside of the university campus. We do have a standard risk assessment that can be added to once the location/safety/security of the event have been checked. Have you found out if Bournemouth Council require performers permits when working on the beach, because we have had some issues with this in the past.

If all of these queries come back clear, then I would need to meet to discuss the safety procedures that would need to be put in place for a fire show and make sure your are aware of the potential risks, hazards and emergency procedures needed for such a public event.

Hope to speak to you soon.

Helen White

President

BU JuggleSoc

Subject: R.I event

Hi,

You may remember that a few months ago I was in contact with you about a rough proposal for an event on the beach called 'I Heart B.Town' in association with River Island. We had to create an event for a live competition and we're now through to the final 4 in the UK, and now have to put on the event for real. I am wondering whether you guys would still be interested in doing some Juggling, Fire Breathing etc at the event. It is due to be held on Sat 17th April, from 12 till 4 pm on the beach between Bournemouth and Boscombe pier. Although we are now awaiting the finalising confirmation from the council we are starting to pencil people in for the date. If you are interested I was wondering if university insurance covers you, and whether you have your own risk assessment papers? As obviously the council is very particular about all the nitty, gritty details.

If you could get back to me either way, then that would be great.

Many Thanks,

Naomi Farmer.

This is an email from me to R.I and there response:

Hi Natasha,

Just to say that we have received the cheque for the event, but are yet to cash it until our bank account is set up. We have been meeting with the council frequently and unfortunately are still undergoing the application process. Confirmation of the beach is taking a while as it's so sought after, and the council are considering a contract for the event slowly but surely. I just wanted to clarify from past emails if we are still able to post winning photo's from our competition on your style finder website? We also would like to use your logo on flyers and leaflets as part of our promo' campaign.

Many Thanks

Naomi Farmer.

HI Naomi

Its Style Insider and fine for the logo please find attached. We aren’t sure yet what we will be doing on Style Insider please can you contact Lauren in a few weeks to discuss, she will also be able to let you the blog requirements etc.

Regards,

Natasha

"hey, I'm glad you emailed round, I'm still totally up for doing what we agreed the other day. I was meant to be on the stalls showing off our work with the girls. I do want to be involved with the event, and am interested in the PR too. anything that’s going really!? izzie xxx

Tasha J 24 February at 22:01

haha cool cool

She doesn't sound funny to me!! we came across the problem of bus Easter holidays today too from the cheerleaders

We need to confirm the exact dates of there’s though cause me and Danielle thought they may come back the weekend of the event in which case it wouldn't be too bad.

What do you think? obviously bu's a lot more students, so would make up more numbers

I'm fine to meet up tomorrow think we were planning to anyway we both got a bit drained today!

see you tomorrow hope you're better better :) xxxxxxxx

bloody films have gone right up...we're up to what we said...:s

with 3 hours to go but I'm winning at the mo....it’ll probably go up and up at the end though :S don't know whether I should go a bit higher than 100 like we said cause we're 80, potentially 100 under budget for stickers etc ahh

Anne said to get gill to fill it out and shed sign it don't know if Danielle waited for it or we said we'd do it Monday if not xxxxx

Tasha J 26 February at 09:35

film went too high for me to justify it really when there’s that chance the film wont work.have found an alternative there was a package for another camera plus 100 film shots for a reasonable price with the film in date

I think this will be a better option!!!xxxx

Naomi Farmer 01 March at 13:11 Reply

we free to meet with Libby tomorrow or Wednesday some time to talk bout what we want in DV8?

This is what she sent me;

Hey, yes I work at dv8...they are letting us put hype in magazine (which is just a section letting people what's going on, when etc) I really need to get that in soon to them as they run a month ahead...so if u could forward me everything u want included I will write it up. Also the dj is up for doing it, he says he won't use his own speakers and amps on the beach though cause he can't move them? But has decks etc so don't know what the situ is there...radio he said he would mention he was playing when he is on the radio next month but it might be a better idea to contact local radio station directly and tell them about it? If u want to meet up and discuss this all then that's fine with me? It’s hard to write it all down! Libby x

Danielle Casey 01 March at 20:52 Reply

hey lovely

yes lets meet with lib at some point, we are al in in the morning so we could ask her when's best then. also we are due to meet the volleyball lady at 12.30 tomorrow in the sports place at BU can u make it?

Naomi Farmer 01 March at 21:36 Reply

yes that’s fine, are we meeting the third years as well tomorrow?

There is also a girl that wants to work so with us as she wants to show her interactive sculpture piece there. she also wanted to meet tomorrow lunch... shall I get her to meet us at 1ish?xxx

Danielle Casey 01 March at 21:42 Reply

oh that’s great news about the sculpture!! if there’s time, would it be better to ask her to meet a bit later just in case? thinking by the time we get over to BU its probably going to be 12.40 and we may end up waiting around for Amanda (volley) to meet us. what about 1.15 or something? I have got a studio workshop at 1.30 but maybe u can meet with her if we are running late? the third yrs now have a session so have got to reschedule.

lets try to be happy positive planners this week lol, last week was a right downer. I hope you're feeling better darling :) xxxxx

Naomi Farmer 01 March at 21:48 Reply

Naomi Farmer 02 March at 18:48 Reply

kk so I have told Libby we can talk to her tomorrow lunchtime if that’s cool. I'm also finding more and more places that do 6kva generators....4 different places, prices differ a lot, but which exact one we need all depends on the sockets and plugs of the DJ equipment, I've asked my stepdad n his is only 1.10kva but he has told me that we have to look for decibel levels too, for instance anything over 100 decibels then we'll need earmuff's...just to give u an idea. I've emailed josh as to getting back to me with the EXACT details of the equipment, and as to whether we will need anymore. I will also email big bear events as they do work with generators, so hopefully they can point us in the right direction. we'll get there guys!xxx

I have had to put events on hold for the night to concentrate on sketchbook for tomorrow tutorials! will see u tomorrow though darling, really pleased with how things went today :D volleyball have organized a team for us and sent their logo to put on the poster and flyers.

with regards to the camera the man is letting me know when they come back in stockxxxxxxxxxxx

Danielle Casey 04 March at 12:25 Reply

have the formula !!!

in fact you could put it into an excel spread sheet & you can then play with the values to get the right Kva here goes

the formula to use is this

Voltage X Amps X 0.001732 = Kva Rating

example

240V X 22 Amps X 0.001732 = 9.14 Kva

give yourself a margin of 30 % to cover any additional fluxes in voltage or current.

Most modern Gensets have voltage stabalisation, and also run spike filters as well, but the more the Kva of the genset the less the problems you will get under load conditions.

The formula above is used widely in the genset world, and is no big secret at all

Most of all ... make sure the genset is EARTHED, and RCD protection used !!!!

Danielle Casey 04 March at 16:08 Reply

ok that would be good, if you don’t want to on the day, I can always meet her and just say a few bits about what we want...I'm guessing we just want a taste of everything? or shall we ask her to photograph for the RI website best photo award? I will also ask about Polaroid’s.

I just went down to BU again with my camera and photographed the mini event they had going on. I met Helen the juggler chairperson, she said as far as she is aware they have committed to it, but atm she is the only person running it and has had 4 assignments on so understandably been busy. she said they have a committee meeting in the next day or so she will get back to us and said she can write the risk asess in a few mins, so she said she will be in touch in a few days.

:D and she told me the fbook group for the pole dancers, I saw them do some earlier and its cool, think it would add something to the event. I am awaiting acceptance to their fbook group xxx

So will just have to wait to hear back from DJ's and 1812. I will research into more hotel bars etc that might be able to help. wowzers Danielle you're doing a good job! The pole dancers are wicked. I saw them at fresher’s fair! wooop woop! fingers crossed we're getting somewhere!xxxx

ooo woweee how exciting! I have just got an email from a girl who is organizing an outdoor theatre of midsummer nights dream and would like to perform and extract at the event, sounds really exciting! also I have shown her the noisettes acoustic link from glaston, and she said its good inspiration for their set, I'm thinking perhaps if they make bits and pieces that add to the atmosphere they can be there throughout the day, making it a bit more magical etc xxxx shall we post council link on fbook group xxx

oh and been working with graphic designer tonight, poster is looking even more awesome than my errr, interesting first one lol xxx u will love it. also don’t order anything to print yet Tash, think u may want to look over the poster and maybe alter the sticker design slightly to match xxx

waheeeyyyyy alls a gogo! I am thinking if they can I will get people like Vicky ad Scott to invite all their friends from aucb to the event...it might help spread the word!? I've found two more bars I will ask for fruit juices n things... I’m going to put the email out to day, and contact Chris from the council to amend those things on their webpage! yayyyxxx

Tasha J 05 March at 09:47

Ok god so much happening its so good, everything’s looking much more positive now yey :)

I doubt I will be back Monday babe, the funerals next week and I've already missed the first 2 workshops for tailoring/corsets so I'll be confused.com

I shall sort the twitter out

pole dancers sounds cool, will the council be ok with it though?? Because it’s a bit naughty! shall I email Chris or have you already asked>?

ok sticker man just said let him know whenever so just keep me updated with the design if you want me to order next weekxxxxxxxxxx

Danielle Casey 05 March at 11:50 Reply

ooo ok :) I think the council should be ok with it, it’s more like acrobatics not saucy lol but maybe an email to Chris would bee an idea. just say its gymnastics based on the pole lol. and I haven’t had any contact with them as in emails yet so its fine either way, would be cool though.

I will keep u updated, I’m' away this weekend but hope to finish the design on Sunday afternoon/eve so we can sort orders on Monday via email. hopefully u will be back soon, take care xxxx

hello ladies...

I asked Scott, Vicky and Krister to invite all their aucb and bu friends to the event now we have invited over 400 people. I take it that someone invited the girl organizing the through the ages event, and she sent me this;

Emma Kinsley 05 March at 18:31 Report

Hello,

I saw that this is on the 17th April. Bournemouth Rotaract Club, of which I am part of is actually holding a HUGE event the same day, we have the pier theatre, the pier approach and up to the first two groynes of beach either side of the pier.

The event is called, 'A Walk Through Time' and is linking in with the 4000 Rotarians coming down to the BIC for the conference. We also have a walkathon going on which means people do a sponsored walk from anywhere to the finish point at pier approach.

We are having charities come along and performances as we are depicting 200 years of Bournemouth.

As you can see this clashes with your event. Could you send me the details of whoever is arranging this event. If we can link up then that would be cool, but as far as we know, we have all the licenses, insurances, permits and permissions from Bournemouth Council and Seafront services.

Anyway, could you let me know the details. If you could link in with us it would benefit you guys as we will have ALOT of people coming down for our own event, looking at 6000 + people minimum.

Many thanks

Emma x

This could be a good opportunity to link up...providing that it's not as O.A.P as we thought, and a bit hipper. Seen as though they are expecting 6000 people plus. could be good. What do u think?xxx

Danielle Casey 05 March at 19:11 Reply

Yes def good news. Joe has also sent me a few contacts regarding dj and generator/tech stuff so I have emailed them to u Naomi. Think we need to contact them ASAP though. he asked me if we had spoken with tech guy, I am guessing not yet?

I think it might be easier and cheaper to buy the gazebos at £15 each from either Argos or home base. we need to sit together and decide exactly how many we do want. will enquire to the BU SU though as I heard their gazebos from yesterday were free from su.

hope everyone has a good weekend! xxxxx

Danielle Casey 07 March at 20:49 Reply

Hey girlies,

This is the new poster. What do you think? I have an illustrator guy that has offered to help (he let me know after I had worked on this with the graphic designer) I am thinking I could send it to him and see if he can do some sort of Beach feeling drawing that will work? Shall we change the colour of the heart to match on the stickers?

I think although we don’t have the red anymore, it does look a lot slicker and more beachy (distressed bits and faded, looks a bit washed and sun bleached..) and more river island, thinking of trying to win etc. hope u like it xxxx

Danielle Casey 07 March at 20:53 Reply

I can’t seem to correct it but will email it to you both. and we can print one out tomorrow. meeting with the make up girls am, do we know what we want to say? also meeting with Ann Marie who is doing the "he's in fashion event"

Danielle Casey 07 March at 21:06 Reply

nope that’s wrong, it’s the photographer girl sorry

just found those links u put on, didn’t see them, the page had gone off screen lol. yes it is a bit daunting, but good job u found them. imagine all our stuff filmed though, djs, bands, jugglers etc, stalls, volleyball, if we can get enough people to stay for most of the event the video will be tonnes more exciting than just one concept which is what these unis have done. think we need to speak to Tammy or Anne to make sure we are getting the support from the others on the course, especially with regards to the fashion show. we have so much on our plates already, we need to get someone else to help us with that...xxxx

Naomi Farmer 07 March at 21:55 Reply

wow loads to catch up on there Danielle, I will talk with you in the week with regards to how we can link in with the other event. Got the emails; have rung the tech guy once to no answer and have emailed him...no reply as of yet. Yea the gazebo's sound like a plan even if we can only borrow a few it cuts down the costs a bit. I like the colours and I do feel it's a bit more beachy...an illustration would really pad out the poster and draw in more attention. Sounds good! I have no idea what to say tomorrow to be honest, as we haven't got many visuals as they are all work in progress atm. Maybe just voice to them and see if there is a general interest? and yea a catch up sesh with Anne would be good...we need to get her up to date as well as helping us rally up support of the rest of the course. see ya tomorrow!xxx

Naomi Farmer 08 March at 15:37 Reply

Right ladies.....

firstly the echo is happy to cover our event on the day and do a piece on it beforehand! yayyy!

secondly; another person from the event 'Bournemouth through the ages' - the one happening on the same day as us, has contacted me with the following message;

Subject: April 17th Event

Hi,

You may have already heard from a member of my club, Bournemouth Rotaract, her

name is Emma and I think she contacted you not long ago.

I'm Lynette, President of Bournemouth Rotaract, a charity group for 18-30 year olds. On April 17th we had planned an event called a Walk Through Time, which was to depict the 200 years of Bournemouth in 'zones' along the seafront. The idea was to get performers, entertainment, and lots of charities down the seafront, depicting the 200 years, and raising a lot of money for themselves. This event was to be the end event for a big sponsored walk that we are organising to raise money for local hospice, Julia's House. People are asked to be sponsored a minimum of £5 each to walk/cycle/jog and all end up at the pier

head at Bournemouth Seafront. Rotary are having their national conference in the Bic on this day and the hope is that several thousand of them will also join in, being sponsored to attend and then ending up down at the pier, everyone who joins in the walk will wear a green t-shirt.

However, the wife of the man who was in charge of all this has been rushed into hospital with a bleed on the brain and so he's in no state to continue organising the event. Seeing as he was the person who was sorting things for the Walk Through Time, we're now having to drop this event. We don't want to have to drop the Sponsored walk as well as this will be raising so much money for Julia's House, but we do need an end event for all the people who turn up to go to. So if we could link with you and use your event as our end event that would be great. I'd just like to know exactly what your event is, whether it's raising any money for anything, just details really so that if you're happy for us to be

involved, we know what we're involved with. Obviously the aim of our event was to have charities raising as much money as possible but this isn't able to happen.

If you could let me know what you think, if you're happy to link in perhaps we can arrange discussing things further at another time.

Thanks,

Lynette Davies

Bournemouth Rotaract

--------------------

This could mean a number of things my lovelies...maybe we can now get the pier spot for our event....thousands of people no longer have an event to go to and are looking for one...i.e. us, and could mean a lot of potential attendance.

Let me know where we should go from here, maybe I could arrange a meeting although the sooner the better as it may change a lot of our details that will have to eventually go on posters etc.

thanks xx

Tasha J 08 March at 16:22

Oh my that's so sad about the man and his wife, but it is good that they can use us to still have an 'end' place for the walk

Definitely get back to her as soon as possible and arrange a meeting, I would really love to be there, so if it could possibly be next week I would be grateful!! but if you feel you need it to happen sooner if she can do it that is fine.

This is so good for our event though

I can email Chris now and see if this means we can move spots...?/?

will it be in the zone we needed a separate license or whatever it was though there?

Yea def see if the lady can meet up this week ASAP. We really need to aim to have posters up by the end of the week so cant really wait much longer! That is good news though, although a real bummer for the people who wanted to do their event and what a shame for the man and his wife :( wonder what River Island would make of it though...? and will our start time of 12 be ok if the walk is happening before hand? xxxx

Danielle Casey 08 March at 16:42 Reply

update on the polz performance, they only have a 2millilion liability insurance so have emailed Chris to ask if that ok...? not really sure about these things or how you go about it if they don’t have enough...

meeting with photographer and fashion ethics tomorrow lunch too xx

Naomi Farmer 08 March at 16:58 Reply

exactly lots to think of, and really we need to sort out all the little nitty gritty details as to whether or not it could link in at all. I think it's such a sad story though that it would be nice to try and help them do it in some way. I will arrange a meeting!!!!xxx

Tasha J 08 March at 16:59

Yey exciting exciting :)

Are we going to arrange a 'making of' stalls signs day tooo?

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tasha J 08 March at 17:00

Did someone email 1812 about the event?

I just looked back through the whole thread seeing if anything’s been missedxxxxxxxx

Naomi Farmer 08 March at 17:03 Reply

yea I did. as well as bar so and a hotel bar in Boscombe and they haven't been helpful at all. If worst come to worst though we can get the supplies ourselves and sell them to get the money back. xxx

Tasha J 08 March at 17:07

have they just not replied or are just not interested?

yer def, that was our original plan last unit anyway wasn't it, although will that be a trading standards issue/?xxx

Danielle Casey 08 March at 18:01 Reply

not as far as I remember the meeting with the council, didn’t they just say about food hygiene and we cant sell anything that competes with their kiosks. Naomi if you ask Jo what he thinks and then we can make a decision about whether we are buying the drinks in etc and start looking for places that sell bulk cheap.

I was thinking about the making the signs day today and we do need to do it! perhaps next week...it’s tricky to find a day when people are in but not needed to be in tutor led sessions....maybe we can persuade people to do it after tiffany’s next Tuesday? we need to get hold of materials to make them with though...eeeek any ideas?

Tasha J 08 March at 18:05

That sounds a plan next Tuesday afternoon...we need to see what uni can supply us with if anything! Because they must have tonnes of arts and crafts stuff, and the model making side might have boards or any stuff we can use. need to go on a scavenge!

also yer getting people to stay or even informing them, maybe we could ask tiffany to put it in a email? Then people will definitely read an email from her.xxxx

Naomi Farmer 08 March at 18:08 Reply

Yes a Tuesday is good, as for materials I haven't a clue! Maybe we should think of a rough style and colour scheme to make it easier to buy things and not to get too much or get stuff we don't need. I will email Jo now with regards to refreshments, and River Island with regards to sending us old stock! I've emailed Lynette about meeting this week as we do need to get it done ASAP! I think we can only sell the drinks if we buy and make them ourselves, but will need people with food hygiene certificates to do them! eeeek we got to put our thinking caps on!xx

Danielle Casey 08 March at 18:25 Reply

we could ask bex re materials too, if we are planning on getting cardboard for the signs then maybe supermarkets? but we need to make it look professional too. thinking we need the river island colours plus black, maybe paper in those colours cut out?? paints can look messy...xxx

Naomi Farmer 08 March at 18:38 Reply

we can see if there is any scrap material too to give it a more artsy / crafts feel...patterned fabrics etc might add to a vintage style! I agree bout the paint though too messy n a certain amount of talent is needed for them. hehe. I was also thinking of bunting for the styling of the event if we can get our hands on it!xx

Naomi Farmer 08 March at 19:29 Reply

I've emailed Alex a film / TV production student from BU, asking him if he's interested in doing some filming for our event. He's well up for it and will see if he can book out the equipment for the date when he talks to his tutor tomorrow! yayyyxxx

Danielle Casey 08 March at 20:04 Reply

oh excellent :) got a reply from make up, one girl, she would like to help out. perhaps if we designate her the stylist area for now? maybe she can meet with you nearer the time or whenever as you (Naomi) will be on the dress up ..?

Naomi Farmer 08 March at 20:17 Reply

we should meet up with her next week sometime with any other girls who may reply to discuss budgets etc and how we are actually get around this problem then I will meet the dress up box girls closer to the time. xxx

Tasha J 09 March at 16:31

Chris emailed me back about the change of location and dancers, wants to know The name of the group and what exactly they will be doing along with the obvious risk assessments and public liability insurance details for them.

He also said he's in contact with the through the ages and as far as he is concerned it is still going ahead!

So don't know whether they just haven't let him know yet or what

Naomi Farmer 10 March at 16:38 Reply

Hi ladies...this is a reply from Joe. I asked him what we should do about drinks, and thanks to his reply I can keep on trying. I was just wondering Tash if you don't mind dealing with LMP as I still have DJ'S, generator, Risk assessments and now this 200 hundred event. The details for Paul are below and all we need to do really is confirm that all we need is a scout. This would be a huge help!

Let me know if u can do it!

xxx

Hi Naomi,

Ok in terms of drinks I would try some other bars. I know the council do not like it, but it is not there event it is yours. From my knowledge a number of events that happen outdoor in Bournemouth have used Hamptons bar. Just the other month in Bournemouth Square they were there with LMP doing exactly that. Or you could try the lounge bar, the guy that owns it is a friend of Paul's called Maori, also a model for LMP. Maybe speak to them or chat with Paul first.

In terms of LMP, they (Paul) will come along and scout, happily. If you give him a call (Paul) and leave him a message he will get back to you, he knows about your event and you, so say I recommended you call. For your info - he could be of great help as if you choose to give him a little financial incentive. His number is 07825371942 (he is in meetings all today for your info). Say I told you to call to confirm scouting and then ask away if you have any questions...

Alfie, when I called he picked up in seconds so do keep trying, leave him a message, say that Joe Barnes called the other day from a recommendation by Julie Higgins.

Danielle Casey 10 March at 21:40 Reply

Ok, seems to give us a few ways to move forward. I am in touch with the student union at bu now and they would like to help, so that’s good. Also the illustrator is working on the poster.

I have copied Naomi in to the email with the make up girl, if you want to chat to her about what you would like to do on that area.

We need to organise the sign-making day, had an idea of using fabric for the signs, but would mean we have to paint, unless we use a glue gun? Was thinking perhaps if we buy or make some cheap cakes and get the group a bit motivated, have some music on, put a few pretty posters up inviting people to an arty decorating cake party? have a word at uni and see if we can use the studio either a lunch or maybe an evening?

Also see if we are allowed some fabric? thinking we could also sew together triangles for those fete banner chains if you know what I mean?

Naomi, hopefully the 200 thing will be over and sorted by Thursday, so wouldn’t worry too much about that. Are Battenburg confirmed yet?

Are you in to meet with the Ann Marie from the "he's in fashion" event tomorrow lunch? xx

Naomi Farmer 10 March at 21:50 Reply

yes I have spoken to Alex and explained in detail and she seems up for it, we will have to meet to talk budget soon though and looks etc. I am emailing other bars now which will pull through fingers crossed!

I think that is a good idea...I know that I have a lot of scrap fabric we can use, in all kinds of retro fabrics and colours. Not sure if next week will be good though as many people will be stressed bout design selection on Tuesday and Wednesday then Suzie's on Thursday. Yea I was looking at bunting too, I think we could make it easily. Yea 200 thing sorted by tomorrow hopefully, Tash said she will contact Paul tomorrow, as it seems like just a quick confirmation thing!

Battenburg have contacted me....they don't have all the equipment but one of their boyfriends does who has a club night here in Bournemouth. My only major concern is now she is saying that she has to miss work and so is asking about money. I said for her to get back to me with the equipment details and told her that we offered 30 quid for travel. what do u guys think....for quality DJ's we will have to pay, even for those that Joe sent us want paying :(xxx

Naomi Farmer 10 March at 22:39 Reply

oh and I have emailed, The Hamptons...as well as the other DJ's Joe has suggested. I will ring Alfie tomorrow. Alex the make-up girl would rather do the fashion show...although I have warned her that it may not happen due to lack of garments, but either way she is happy to get involved. As for the meeting tomorrow, I wasn't planning on being in but if you want me there I can be just give me a time and a place.

Thanks Guysxxx

Naomi Farmer 11 March at 11:44 Reply

hey ladies...

just wondering if anyone has sorted changing the heart on the sticker to pink to match the new poster?xxx

Danielle Casey 11 March at 12:39 Reply

ok, bit worrying about cost of djs etc. to be honest, battenburg sound like they’re are making excuses, and we are not going to substitute her not going to work that day, we told them the date a long time ago!

I have the heart thing on my list of to do...

the illustrations are fab though, I think we should hang on till he is finished and see about working it into all the designs for poster, stickers etc

also I am wondering if this flyering thing is worth it, would it not be better to spend more money on stickers, to give out on campus, and in the river island store rather than paying for 200 ( not many really) flyers to give to randomers in the town centre. do u think we would be better to home in on our actually TARGET audience rather than the types of people that are likely to just be passing trade on the day anyway?

we really need to get more of the stickers or flyers or both! we need to get the cost down on them or make our own banner...

Danielle Casey11 March at 13:13 Reply

I have emailed fire radio and Natasha from River Island about the t-shirts. Sara has said if we can arrange our sign-making thing she will email it out to all of the course etc.

Naomi Farmer 11 March at 13:59 Reply

Omg! I love the design! Yea we need to wait on any printing... would be amazing to integrate it into everything. Totally agree! We can decide on a time next week. but bear in mind design selection. Decide later tonight. Yea Dj's are becoming worrying now no1 seems to have everything and are cheap! I'm not prepared to fork out more for battenburg just because they are missing out on work. We need to get our heads together and come up with a plan for them as I can't move forward with generator until then. Alfie is ringing me back tonight so will have a clearer idea with that too. Beverages is not moving forward either...in our initial budget we set apart 100 quid for drinks...do u think we can still do this If worst comes to worst then we can charge to get money back? I will email Natasha with the river island details like clothes donated and how many piccies on website etc. What do you think? Fx

I just had a really good meeting with Ann Marie from arts n events, she has given me a few pointers on the generator and djs and taster events. we can talk later too, I am thinking over a nice alcoholic beverage for a change lol! after all we will be in the pub for the meeting. see u there xxx

Naomi Farmer 11 March at 16:19 Reply

yes definitely...a drink is in order! I have had a reply from Chris from the council satin that the overall risk assessment is good. We now need overall insurance probably from our uni' to cover the event as a whole... Chris called it our public liability? We also need the performers insurance and their individual risk assessments. I still haven't heard from juggle soc...thought they would have had their meeting by now. I've also for another problem...I am completely laptop less for the next few days and so have to reply emails by iPod which is fiddle and I also can't upload of download files or attachments so will have to see what I can do.

ok guys I have good news!!! It was worth the wait for Alfie.....he can supply us with everything other than cdj's which most dj's should have. He can supply us with a PA, mixers, speakers and amps, as well as the cables for between 50 and 60 quid and he will get quotes for the generator thinking he can get one for 40 quid!!! yayyyy! he will also set up for us on the day...I don't know if he wants paying for the labor but he seems to know what he's doing! yayyyy. A breakthrough at last.xx

Danielle Casey 14 March at 21:14 Reply

hello darlings,

that is brilliant about the above!

I have been working on sticker designs with more info on so we can use them as flyers a bit but they are cooler and more fun than a flyer and hopefully we can get more printed.

also there is a company in the EP that might do it cheaper too, its called Image XL if Tash you could possibly research them and get quotes before final order? The actors had tonnes of flyers printed by them so they might be cheaper for us students :) let me know which stickers if any you prefer and any changes, colour swaps you think.

It’s hard to put facebook link on as its stupidly long and confusing, so see what u think....xxx

Tasha J 14 March at 23:01

ok yer I can do that, I'm coming back tomorrow so maybe we can have a wine evening Tuesday? have a catch up and sort everything new that needs to be done?

new sticker looks great

and that's awesome about the pa speakers etc etc

you guys have done great work

I'm calling Paul tomorrow, I had to do so many little tying up things on Thursday for mom for the funeral I just didn't get a chance to do it, then obviously Friday was out

really sorry I will definitely speak to him tomorrow though my lift isn't going till late so I can try all day if he's unavailable

Naomi Farmer 15 March at 12:59 Reply

great sounds good!!!!! I was thinking maybe we could meet tomorrow at lunch because we can do the rounds at uni and solve a few problem areas...like insurance etc. Me and Danielle were also thinking that on Weds night we can start to get decorations done for the event. bunting etc..... all are welcome at my place. I prefer the middle sticker...the event page is a bit of a random link...to long for people to type in methinks. Although blue makes it a bit more unisex. ...oh and I have a reply from Roteract, will post it below.xx

Naomi Farmer 15 March at 13:00 Reply

Hi Naomi,

Thanks again for meeting with us last week, it's so good we can link our projects together. I spoke to Linda from Julia's House and she said it's absolutely fine for you to use the Julia's House logo on your posters. According to Oli it should be fine if you just copy it from their website www.juliashouse.org but if you have any problems let me know as I think he has the proper file for it too.

We're having a big meeting about our event on Wednesday with Julia's House and the Rotarian taking over the organisation from the other guy, so will be letting them know about linking with you for the end event etc. Hopefully they will be able to talk to the council about moving your event closer to the pier and we'll ask about tables/marquees for you as well.

Spoke to Paul today he sounds lovely! Said it will probably be him that comes down, but asked me to send him an email about it, said Joe has hardly said anything to him about it

So I sent him all the details and the poster and sticker design, so that's done done hopefully unless he changes his mind!

okies so the latest....Justine can no longer help us, not sure if that will have a knock on effect with Katie and her stand. Does anyone have her contact details so we can ask her?xx

Danielle Casey 17 March at 14:14 Reply

I have spoken to her today and she is doubtful that she will be doing a stand, due to time etc, but I did say why don’t we ask Anne if we can have some of that stuff she uses when people are waiting for interview, I think its donated jewellery bits n bobs and Katie cud supervise that stand. she was saying the she is making paper jewellery for the girls so maybe she could be there showing people how to do stuff or something that requires not a lot of prep. she is happy to help on the day but didn’t want to be making stuff before hand to sell or what ever.

we could just have it as a crafty fun area? like the sixty million night? maybe? I am just looking into cocktail glasses and umbrellas. how many should we provisionally cater for drinks? just as an idea about 140 glasses will be about £40 which will be worth it because they look professional.. what do u guys think? xxx

Danielle Casey 17 March at 14:33 Reply

ok, I've been researching tonnes of companies.

the absolute best I've got so far is 240 glasses, and enough umbrellas for each one is total of £52.54 Inc delivery. What do we think? plus if we are charging the drinks, it might not be too much at all?

Danielle Casey 17 March at 15:56 Reply

just had an idea along the lines of twitter but better. why don’t we use our status' as tweets! so we are always updating about the event, but people will be forced to read them because it comes up on the home page etc! what do u think? we can also do like a countdown for the last 10 days or so! and put diff stuff about what’s going to be there on the day toox xxxx

Danielle Casey 17 March at 17:16 Reply

My friend just sent me this:

hey hey this is Chrissie’s number who DJs in dusk til dawn 07513595704 also add him on facebook but I'm not sure how much he uses it Chris Forrester

we could check him out as another potential dj? xxx

Naomi Farmer 17 March at 19:01 Reply

yea the stall idea sounds good we do need something, and as long as she can still supervise on the day then that will be great. I think glasses will look classier and a bit more glamorous, £52.54 doesn't seem to bad either, so I’m up for that. I will do status's too I think it's a great idea! with regards to the DJ I will contact him ASAP.

I was thinking with regards to the poster...when we put LMP on the new ones we should also put AUCB on there too, as we are supposed to be raising awareness of our university. what do you reckon?xxx

Tasha J 17 March at 19:36

yer definitely we shall print out some lmps and aucbs tomorrow and stick them onto the posters, I've got some double sided tape.

status' like tweets is a good idea too for the last couple of weeks maybe!

I'll start just putting whatever on twitter lol

52 quid sounds alright for the glasses! think it'll make it look well good, and we will have cut loads on the Polaroid’s!

Tasha J 17 March at 19:37

also I have a few mates at home giving us some clothes they don’t wear anymore for dress up and a couple of girls up for modeling for the fashion show xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Drinks with ice has worked out at £114.60 to cater for 300 people

Just to let you know!!

Danielle Casey 20 March at 15:06 Reply

oh gosh, ok, well we will make the money back anyway wont we. although, not by much, if we charge 50p per drink, then that’s £150 isn’t it. so it just about covers itself.

The gazebos, has been a problem, the store in Poole was the only one with them in stock so I ordered and reserved but then they rang me last night to say it was an error on the system and they actually weren’t in stock, I said well can we still have the 20% off as its not my fault the website was wrong, and they’re getting the manager to call me back. I might be able to wangle something as we are ordering 7!love xxx

Danielle Casey 20 March at 15:15 Reply

just spoken to the manager...its such a bummer and so silly on b&q's part. they have tonnes of stock " stuck at the docks" and none of the stores in Dorset have access to these white gazebos or any others for that matter! he said he is in talks with the head office but wouldn’t want to take my money and not know if or when or ever they will get them in! so we might have to go with a full price stock elsewhere. I did say he should let head office know they’re losing hundreds by being so unorganised!! I will research further xxx

Danielle Casey 20 March at 15:23 Reply

just realised we can only sell 244 drinks because that’s the max no of cocktail glasses that we can get in a batch and it’s not worth ordering another load for 60 cups.

maybe if they have umbrellas and nice glasses we can charge more than 50p otherwise we are only going to get £122 back from them. we can see how the budget goes but with the gazebos the way they are, we might have to be a bit careful with the money atm. xxxx

Danielle Casey 20 March at 18:16 Reply

well done on the message to all our group re fashion show, Tash. also I was trying to add the river island fbook group to our event as a link but I can’t do it! does anyone else know how? just making choc fudge cakeee :) yumm! ordered the glasses and umbrellas! was nerve racking using the bank card....real money has been spent!! aaa!love xxx

Tasha J 20 March at 19:51

god what a bummer!!!stupid b and q!!maybe we should see how many we can source ourselves? then we might not even need to buy any?

I don't think people will pay more than 50p, cocktail glasses hold like nothing anyway!

and wont we need extra free ones for the performers yer?

I've added it all up without any deals, but I think they have 3 for £2 for all the juice, apple, orange, pineapple etc so that will bring it down also to possibly less than 100

I don’t know I'm no good with links, don’t you just paste the name or the address in the top when you're on it?

mmm choc fudge cake

I was thinking maybe tomorrow night we could get the banner done if everyone’s free to meet up?

I think my dad will be able to get hold of a load of string from work for the signs

woooop real money we should have just sacked it off gone shopping instead!!!

Hey lovi, I've not changed it, it will take quite a long time, and I've got to get my sketchbook etc sorted for design selection so I’ll leave it if that’s ok. I will change it over Easter ready for the final ones to show RI etc.

I will email it though Hun x x

Tasha J 21 March at 13:30

ok that’s fine RI will never see them anyway, it’s just to raise awareness around Bournemouth anyway!!thankyouuuu xxxxxxx

also I'm getting on with the fashion show quite well

got the two original models I said about,

Scotts got 3 or 4 outfits we can use,

and spoke to my friend Rachael who grad couple years ago and she's got stuff from her final collection as well as her girlfriends who grad at the same time, she also said shed model if needed too

so we should be alright with no. of outfits.

we need to scout around uni for models

and I was thinking of sending Paul a cheeky email asking whether we could have a couple of models too for free? worth asking

have you asked Lauren about modeling?

xxxxxxxxxxx

Danielle Casey 21 March at 14:09 Reply

excellent. Laurens with her bf this weekend but I've text her. also ask that Camilla Kay in yr below as she has done loads for people. she might actually get scouted

maybe leave it until we have spoken to the group to ask Paul, because we might have enough and our normal people might look odd next to actual models?dont know, what do u think? as for the signs, maybe leave it till tomorrow night or something, just thinking Naomi is at work all weekend and we've not heard from her yet, I might have to go back to Wallisdown to do work before we find out and I cant get Sam to come pick me back up really, he's got so much work to do.

I will re ask that BU SU chap about gazebos, I might ring him tomorrow.

hope you are having a good day xxx

Tasha J 21 March at 18:05

Cool that’s good about Lauren, yer you're right we should be nearly there really, if we ask all of our course and costume as well I forgot.

Also need a guy or a couple of guys as Ricks said we can use his menswear, which will be good, rather than just having all girls.

There is quite a big chance I'll be going home mid afternoon tomorrow, I need to see my mate and help her with things for Wednesday.

That’s why I wanted to do it tonight, but I texted Na asking if we could, and if not ill just go round get the letters and triangles and do them at home, and leave the banner to you to if that's ok? I don’t want to go and leave everything to you two.

cool let us know gazebos wise

also have you got the contact details for the make up people? I want to see if they've any pictures of their work for my book.

oh ok, yea totally understand about your friend, it’s not been a good time for you has it!

see what Na texts back, I can always beg Sam lol! I just feel bad, he is so busy bless him. if not we can always do it when people are helping us etc on Tuesday. I hope people will!! if not we can all take a few letters etc.

I have the email address of the make up girl, but there is only one so far that’s helping!! alexmartin91@hotmail.com

you'll have to explain who you are! men, hmm could Ricky do his own? he is quite good looking and thin lol! I personally don’t know anyone suitable...

But I can easily sew on all the letters to triangles if Na isn't up for doing stuff tonight, then you could concentrate on the banner with more people? We'll see what she says.

Oh ok, I thought Na said there was two, cool thank you

Yer I thought that but he gets back from China on the day :( So basically it will be lucky if he can actually get back for the event so I don't want to rely on him being able to model :( rubbishness

I’ve done a massive mood board, and set out my storyboards,

had a brainwave for my 'how to' I heart btown book, think I'm going to do it all on big boards, like a recipe card you get from Waitrose etc,

like have a list of ingredients, recipe etc

thought Tammy might like it lol

Naomi, you know we were given vouchers by River Island for the competition winners in our proposal, is that still standing? are they still providing them?xxxxxxxxx

ooo excellent :) ok darling, you will be missed this week! hope all goes well at home. speak soon xxxxxxxx

Tasha J 22 March at 00:51

thank you babes willl miss you too! keep me updated!thankyou xxxxxxx loves

Naomi Farmer 22 March at 22:44 Reply

OMG!!! a lot to catch up on! I was at my dads for my bro's 16th, n only just got back. The voucher was addressed in the original R.I email about no tee's and the voucher has to come out of our budget too. Feel a bit out of touch now lol! the two make up girls are Alex Martin and her friend. As for tech still no more word from Alfie....he seems to avoid me for ages then get back to me but I really need to know by Friday so will keep trying! Bout the gazebo's it's a real shame, not really sure where to get them from :s

I was thinking that I will get the tee's over the Easter holidays to for the t-shirt stand, and will get 50 with assorted sizes etc.

The River Island stock is good...the menswear is a bit bland but workable, to be honest we won't need that many more donations, but a few more 'wacky' garments would be good, as well as shoes, we are short on them! I will find a way of displaying the clothes over Easter, whether they will be on rails or in a chest etc.

Camilla Kay is lovely...she modeled for me, and may be there anyway as she is a Plastic Heart! :)

We can do a scouting day ourselves at uni if u like Danielle?

We need to organise tomorrow's meeting, what we need to ask of the group etc,

Sorry for being out of contact for a few days :( as well as not being in! I'm useless, lol

Hope everything is ok Tash and we will speak soon, we will miss u but keep in contact over here!!!

lovexxx

Got an email back from rotary lot and this what they said;

Hi Naomi,

I got an email from Linda from Julia's House today, who contacted Chris Grayson about moving your event closer to the pier. This is what she said:

I have spoken to Chris Grayson Tel no 451451 and he cannot see any problem in essence with moving the event up to the Pier but he needs to check the details of their event in case there are any licensing issues etc. in moving it.

So I imagine he will either be in contact with you, or if you don't hear from him then try contacting him and finalising the details. Let us know if there are any problems and I can pass them on to Linda.

Thanks

Amy

so it looks hopeful! I also got a package from the council that gives us media contacts, I will send them all a press release, from heart etc to the bbc south.

Danielle Casey 23 March at 13:22 Reply

Hey Tash,

Hope you got back ok. Can we ask you to do a few bits while you’re home because we have a lot to do this week?

1.Do we have 100% confirmation for the living statues?

2.Can you order the fruit juices and ice etc, in time for the week we get back?

3.I have got quite a lot of people who have emailed me about Polaroid’s can I forward them to you and you have a look in to it? We need to source some and order it asap. The girl that is helping us on that is looking too.

4. At some point contact Paul at LMP just to confirm he is coming 100%

Also we will have to collect the stickers and take them to RI so thanks for the email from Graham.

Do you know a film student who can film on the day? the first guy has fallen through.Thanks lovi, its a big help! we are stressed :( xxxxx

Naomi Farmer 23 March at 13:28 Reply

Hey,

Battenburg are on board for the event, only asking £40 to cover travel as well. They will send me a sample playlist tonight. They have given me a list of equipment that they need and hopefully if we can get hold of Alfie then he can help us source and find the best deals on CDJ's, he does have a lot of his own stuff that we can use like speakers and mixers etc for around a £50 for everything he owns. He is becoming hard to get hold of though and he still hasn't made it clear if he needs paying for labour of setting up etc. With regards to BU Juggle soc. I have found someone else to contact as they society themselves are having a few issues and this is why they haven’t got back to us sooner. fingers crossed the risk assessments and insurance will be with us by Thursday!

aaaargh this is going to be the stressful week.

loveagexxx

Danielle Casey 23 March at 14:43 Reply

just opened the box of the cocktail glasses etc, looking good :) each glass is 0.1L so 10 CL, so just to check in with the juices Tash, that means we need 0.1 L x 300= 30 L of juice. That’s not going to cost us that much is it? I think you put over £100?? sounds like a lot?

also got more people to help with stalls, I will keep working on it. I will ask Natalie etc if she can still do cake stall, Lauren is going to jewellery and I will check with Katie if she will too. jess Jarvis is going to find someone to help her on the t-shirt stuff. we just need refreshments and the odd people to help "marshal" lol!

Danielle Casey 23 March at 14:47 Reply

how many types of cocktail are we making? maybe we should just do two? and keep the ingredients to as much of asda's own brand stuff as possible? xxxx

Tasha J 23 March at 14:50

Yer cool,

Living statues - actors are discussing and deciding whether they have enough time with hand ins and stuff to put something together, Rose is getting back to me before the end of the week.

Paul did confirm over the phone and email that he will def be there, with 2 others like he said in person, but I shall email him again just to reconfirm

With ordering fruit juice. As I’m not involved with the money how am I going to pay? I thought we would just purchase it all from asda after Easter as they always have shed loads of juice and ice in stock anyway?? I could look into ordering, if you could give me the money details.

I don't know any film students, but can send out another email to all students? or just to the film students? is there a course specific to it?

shame my housemate from last year did a masters in film and TV production, she would def do it but I think she's in Australia, I shall look into it as her mate also did the same, she's from Ireland but was living in Bournemouth still.

And Polaroid’s yer feel free to forward me the emails, I only stopped with that because I thought the Mort girl was sorting it? I would have carried on with it otherwise!!

cool about battenburg, bloody people who won't be easily reached, it's ANNOYING!!!

don't get too stressed girlies

Anything else you want me to do just ask

Danielle Casey 23 March at 15:27 Reply

thanks Tash :)

yea Steph mort is working on it, but its kind of meant to be a big part and as I've not heard much lately I don’t want to leave it all to her. I have emailed you the links. one seems like a good source.

the juices, yes good point about the money!! lol! I don’t think it will cost as much as first thought, hope we can get it down to like £50 or something? if we try to use the cranberry 66p, orange, apple 56p each and pineapple 72p, Using 8L each of those 4 flavors its only come to £28.96 and whatever ice costs. although at £1 a bag it costs more than the juice! plus depending when we buy it where are we going to store it? there’s hardly any room in my freezer here :S xxxx

Tasha J 23 March at 17:26

Natalie Howard said shed do refreshments for me with her girlfriend lol

I thought we needed drinks for 300 people? that's what I worked it out for....were going to need to do free ones for performers etc and I presume they wont be having the cocktail glasses?

we are there for 4 hours...?

Whatever you think though, I just went on the 300 figure

we can buy it on the day???

yea think we might have to pop in before heading to the beach! have u read the email from the council? eeek location wise.... xxxxxx

Danielle Casey 23 March at 18:43 Reply

I think that’s what I worked out for 300..? if each glass is 0.1L? then we need 30L of juice don’t we? sorry if I'm confusing. just thinking if we can get the cost of them down a bit then we can compensate for if the generator costs come in high or the council etc as we have no idea of how much yet. maybe if we go for 400 then and then we have 100 extra for giving to performers etc. so that means we need 40L of juice. xxxxx

Danielle Casey 23 March at 19:01 Reply

oh and that’s good about Natalie, so we are pretty much sorted for the helpers on the stalls then :) phew, its all coming together! xxx

Danielle Casey 24 March at 01:22 Reply

I have a photographer to shoot the digitals and he might be able to help with Polaroid’s. also a film guy replied and wants to help out, I suggested we meet him on Thursday Naomi? the lecture with Suzie is at 1.30 so I will ask Kelly if she can meet in the morning too.

I tried Alfie, no response. will try again tomorrow!LOVE XXXXX

Brilliant!!! The location thing is a bit of a let down...wonder why we can't have it there though, as the 200 years were going to have similar acts!

hey

we will have 4 - 6 girls there face painting, and djing if u need any one. in costume. tea maids

if u have a budget we can do a tea party, host entertain guests. ect.

want activies do u guys have planned? as we can always help out with these, and any ideas u guys have feel free to let me no so we can brainstorm. xxx

Sound good? The tea maids are a bit more vintagey and fits in quite well with the school fete idea!xxx

Danielle Casey 24 March at 11:14 Reply

yea def, sounds good! do they want their own space or do they want to mingle in with other bits? would be good to give them an area to face paint etc?

I will be in by the afternoon if you want to do the poster stuff then? we might struggle to print any if there’s still no ink. email from Anne said talk to gill and take the "newlife" not sure what that means, jewellery bits for the craft stall. which is great news :)xxxx

Danielle Casey 24 March at 11:33 Reply

YESSSS! major break thru with ALFIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

woooo, so relieved, he is sorting everything, getting a quote in his lunch break!

do we know if battenburg are able bring their own CDJs? He can’t provide them. we need to let him know. also what is his email add?xxx

Naomi Farmer 24 March at 11:53 Reply

yayy...I knew he was sorting but didn't know how far he had gotten! great news bout the jewellery bits too! yea I won't be in this afternoon...but will be in over lunch! yea they don't have CDJ's and they say they need two? don't really know how much it will cost to hire them either!

His email is; alfsweetpeach@yahoo.co.uk

Danielle Casey 24 March at 12:18 Reply

polz apart have gracefully declined as they have to up their insurance policy too so that’s fine, in a way it simplifies the day for us too. I have let Alfie know about the CDJs and am constantly calling the SU BU guy lol! I will go over there today. so the only risk assessment we're waiting on is volleyball and I am going to see her today too.

so fingers crossed its all going to be handed in and sealed deal this week, with the council.

Steph now has 20 Polaroid photos, like 2 sets of 10 so that’s good :D

Naomi Farmer 24 March at 15:53 Reply

ok that’s a shame but like you say it makes it easier for us! great it seems like it should all be sorted out soon :)

This week has been quite productive...touch wood the rest of the week does too. Once you have all the details let me know and I will get them and post them to the council!

Polaroid’s is great at least it's more than originally thought.....better than none at all! let's all stay positive and keep our fingers crossed. I really hope that the council changes their mind at the last minute bout the location, it will really help to pull in a crowd!!!xxx

I’m thinking over email as I go on holiday on sun, n work on sat, soooooo busy! I would of loved us to all be able to go for a drink before the holiday, but we will just have to make up for it after the event! I'm thinking a LOT of drinks that night! hehexxx

lol yea me too! oh yea your holiday, I didn’t know what day you were going ooo how lovely! wish I was going! love xxx

Tasha J 25 March at 11:18

I was working out the drinks on Jordan’s estimate of 200 hundred so don't worry I am wrong wrong as the glasses are muuuuch smaller!

Il refine the cocktails for 40l and reduce the options from three to two, or just have River Island Rocks ? Whatever you guys think.

Cooool about the other photographer, yey it is all coming together

We are definitely sorted for the Fashion show too, I am going to arrange a meeting early the week we come back Monday or Tuesday depending when all the models can make it, check they are all ok!!!hehe and I've been putting outfit to model anyway so we have enough, might end up with 11, that's alright though :)

Yes location wise it is rubbish, seems a bit unreasonable, maybe he does not want to go through organising it all again, maybe he's scared of the seafront dep. haha maybe we could contact them direct if we have time? Just so we know what exactly we're doing that they wouldn’t be happy with? I can try doing that if you guys thinks it's worth it>?

That's cool about plastic hearts!! sounds like they will be FUN FUN FUN, could we get them to do the djing and sack battenburg off? to cut costs?

Great about the 'newlife' stuff, was it any good????

Yey about Alfie too, I think everything might actually be ok girls!!! It’s all coming together :)

What Polaroid film has Steph sourced?> can you find out if you don't know or what's her contact details? Just so I can keep my eyes out for the same

Oh well about the poles, would have been cool but doesn't really matter, the rude cheerleader kept on saying she'd let me know, but I don't think she really wanted to do it!, we'll have enough things going on anyway

Will here from the actors end of this week if they're able to put something together for it

Have emailed Paul again, he has not replied though, so I shall give him a call too

Masses of drink post event I AM UP FOR THAT in a big way

Love you guys, you're doing brill tying everything up

Naomi Farmer 25 March at 11:31 Reply

yeah everything is going GOOD! Battenburg often DJ with the plastic hearts so they can just have fun between themselves...the good thing bout battenburg is that they have a lot of following so hopefully will pull the crowd ! I think we would benefit from having two different cocktails at least as then there is a bit of choice for peeps! :)

yayy! we are having our final meeting today till we come back...meeting with film guy, third year fashion and sculpture girl!xxx

Danielle Casey 26 March at 18:00 Reply

hey girls,

I have collected the stickers and paid him a cheque. been busy cutting the stickers out at they came in sheets of 6. I cut my finger :( blood! it got on one of the stickers lol!

if I can take them to RI if they get back to Natasha young, as she is waiting to be told my point of contact when I go in...how many shall we leave there? bearing in mind we want to give stickers out at our taster events x2, the "he's in fashion" event and on the day? and we will stick some up too at uni? maybe we can stick some in bus stops and stuff...? be a bit cheeky with what the council have said because at the end of the day it would be pretty cool to put them on a few lampposts etc on the walk in towards uni...

xxxx

I have to wait in all day Monday for the gazebos 7am -6pm!

Naomi Farmer 26 March at 22:12 Reply

Oh no blood isn't good! :( to be honest love it's up to u as long as we have enough for the tasters and uni then we should be fine, I think that we should try to promo there as much as we can though as it would open up the event to the public more! I have had a reply from juggle soc and you will never believe it.....they are in and will have the risk assessment to us by Monday, unfortunately I will be away but hope I can get it forwarded to u or I will deal with it as soon as I come back. so sounds positive...oh and battenburg have sent me a sample playlist I will post below, they have tried to stick with a vintage theme as well as stuff not to heavy or in-your-face so the council will approve.

As for the council...the roteract people have told me that they are declining us moving due to the fact that we have a dj, and something to do with licensing?! not good, would have been better if we could move to the pier.

loveage to u guys- have a good Easter!xxx

message from roteract;

Hi Naomi,

Have you spoken to the council? I got a message from Linda yesterday saying they declined permission for your event to move along to Bournemouth pier, on the basis that you have a DJ. It's a bit silly really as they have told us we must provide entertainment at the pier for our event, and this can be music - which is all your DJ would be providing anyway pretty much!

Anyway, we will continue to advertise your event and if you give us posters we can have them around our marquee on the day and send people your way.

Danielle Casey 28 March at 00:09 Reply

Oh for gods sake. what a palaver! agggr! Because of the council people, every single thing has been compromised because of them and now this. what a joke. why don’t we forward that message from Amy to Chris Grayson, and see what his response is.

also annoyed because I saw a small market thing on in the square on Friday and this lady was selling cupcakes, on council land, no ingredients, packaging, weights, etc present AT ALL! I am going to enquire this too, I wonder if there is stuff we can get away with that they just haven’t told us, or if they’re being OTT and saying we need things we don’t...? there must be a loop hole if that lady in the square did none of those things. also if we do have to abide by it, we are probably going to get in trouble for selling cocktails without food hygienists in that tent :S maybe Naomi’s mum will have to help over there, bless her, just to prove we do have that?

Playlist looks good :) xxxxx

Danielle Casey 28 March at 00:13 Reply

another thought- I am going to go down to the beach where we were originally meant to be, and check that all the bulldozing that was going on there is finished, because if not, they will HAVE to put us by the pier. what a nightmar!!!!!! lol sorry girls, I know you feel the same, its so disheartening. xxxx

Danielle Casey 28 March at 00:23 Reply

Hi Chris,

Just want to enquire about a couple of issues...

When you originally assigned us the spot between the piers, there was bulldozing etc going on and I just want to confirm that is all over and completed and the beach is definitely going to be ready for use?

Do we know what the situation with regards to moving to the pier spot, apparently our event has been declined to move there as we have a DJ? If this is so, the music is only going to be background level so it wouldn’t be a problem?

Also on Friday I was down at the square -which comes under your regulations I believe- and there were a few stalls selling various pies, cakes etc. The cake stall had cupcakes similar to the ones we will be providing, yet the seller had not labeled the cakes with ingredients or weight and this information was no where to be seen, the cakes were in a basket not wrapped or packaged in any way. I am just wondering if they have something that we could get/do to avoid having to go through all these processes on our stall? As I would have thought the regulations of food hygiene, packaging, labeling apply at the square as well as the beach?

Please let me know your thoughts, it would be a big help if we could cut down on some of these requirements.

Thanks

Danielle

hey girls, I have got two more performers interested, a group of actors and an acoustic/open mic style person, so perhaps if on the day if we are going to have a little board/sign with the list of time of performances etc, we can put "open mic for the public" and if anyone has anything on the day we can offer them a slot ? what do you think? xxxx

Danielle Casey 05 April at 18:39 Reply

Hi Danielle, A talent Show?? Encouraging performers to work toward a prize? Can’t do much until I get back to uni when I will speak to all the staff for acting and performance. Can you get one of the radio DJ's to host it? Can the student Union help at all? Also, ask at uni if a risk assessment can be written Gill and Bex know how to do it. Also, River Island must know that this could happen, can they give any help and support? How about trying a Talent agent who can get his talent there??

All I can think of at the moment. we live in a house that belonged to a known local Drag Queen 'Miss Chrystal'...I could always ask...

Anne

Danielle Casey 05 April at 18:41 Reply

I asked Anne if she had any ideas when our performers all seem to be pulling out, this is what she came back with, quite a few good ideas, I will see if I can find a talent scout agency or something. that would be the best incentive I think, we have covered a few of the others. xxx

Naomi Farmer 05 April at 20:52 Reply

Hey ladies,

Right I am back now! Still not got a risk assessment from the jugglers although they said I would have one by the time I got back. :s

The last day for council stuff is weds so that we can get confirmed in time! it's getting scarily close now and I have a lot to catch up on....I love the bunting, mine is similar just got to string it together. I can't remember whether the stage had feet? or do we have to get sheets of wood to use as a whole platform? I will catch up with R.I and see what PR they are doing for us and whether we can have goodie bags! The talent scout idea is good...but well done Danielle for getting stuff back on board! was there anything else I was going to do...I just feel a bit out of touch since I’ve been away!much lovexxx

Danielle Casey 05 April at 21:00 Reply

I can’t remember to be honest!

I think we just need to round up the involved people and make sure they’re still doing what they agreed to etc

the stage had legs but he said that it would be best for the board to be the whole area as its wheeled on etc, we may even need to lay the boards to wheel it on to the sand if its extremely heavy as we wont be able to wheel it straight on to the sand, it will sink.

can u ask pernilla is it? the sculpture? what type of glue to be used as the council want to know. we can’t use balloons, mardy Chris Grayson!! aggrr! xxx

Hey lovis,

On my search for talent scouts as suggested by Anne, I came across the "Miss Dorset" comp being run by the echo. I contacted them suggesting they might like to get involved, perhaps give us some of the contestants to use in the catwalk show, and this is their reply....

Hi Danielle

Thanks for the email, this all sounds great!! We will come to meet you definitely. We would like to set up some banners and scout for possible entrants if that would be ok? I can contact some of the girls that have entered and maybe they would be able to collect for the Lifeboats.

Then we can arrange things for the final show, as a fashion show sounds good.

We look forward to meeting you!

Kind regards

Danielle Casey 06 April at 14:27 Reply

so perhaps if I can meet them Monday, and if either of you are free too, and we meet the rest of the fashion show etc involved on the Tuesday incase they can contribute contestants to the show?xxxx

Danielle Casey 06 April at 14:35 Reply

Hi Becky,

That’s great you want to be involved! As the event is only 10 days away, we will have to work fast!

I am not back in Bournemouth until Monday could we perhaps arrange to meet then (12th April)?

We have to sort the rest of the fashion show asap that week, so we'd have to confirm any input from Miss Dorset such as models, before we meet with the designers showing their work and any other models we have too.

LMP models will be there scouting, so it would be an incentive for the contestants as even if they don’t win the Miss Dorset competition, they could possibly still get some modeling work etc.

With the banners and scouting, that’s absolutely fine. As the event is on council land (the beach) we cant shake charity buckets or anything, but we can have a bucket there and discretely raise awareness. We aren’t allowed to "flyer", and there are a lot of restrictions, so let me know if there is anything you want to do just incase!

Thank you and I look forward to our meeting,

Danielle

so exciting! xxx

Naomi Farmer 06 April at 16:11 Reply

sounds great! I will be free on Monday so happy to meet. My mum is even thinking of staying with me for the week to help do more stuff if needs be like decorations etc :)

emailed jugglers, emailed R.I and about to email echo to make sure everything is still a ok! so scared but excited too :)xxx

Naomi Farmer 06 April at 16:54 Reply

just got a reply from Natasha R.I ;

Hi Naomi

Rachel Pritchard is your contact for PR, her email is rachel.pritchard@river-island.com, she is off today but I suggest you call her tomorrow on 0207 518 1600.

We have never supplied goody bags this is something the groups have put together themselves.

Regards,

Natasha

So I will ring Rachel tomorrowxxx

Naomi Farmer 07 April at 15:35 Reply

hey...

Don't know if you guys got this email too but Natasha from R.I sent me this;

Hi all

Preparation must be well underway now, I hope you're all getting on with it ok.

We will be covering your events on our site www.styleinsider.riverisland.com and would like you to provide the day after your event:

* Post event blog

* 15 pictures from your event giving a feel for what happened

* 1 and half minute video - if you are not videoing and this will be a problem let me know

There will be a member of the River Island marketing team attending each of your events, they will get in contact next week to arrange who they will meet and where.

We will also require budget information the day after, how the £1000 was allocated and if you made a profit.

Kind regards,

Natasha Young

Marketing Events Manager

0208 991 4500 / 0207 518 1600

We need to sort who will do what really...and get a blog together etc. What do u think?xxx

Danielle Casey 07 April at 16:19 Reply

So there is no pre event PR? Or is there?

Well we are lucky we have secured photographers, film makers to help with that. I will ask Ben who is photographing for us, if he will be able to give us some images the day after. It’s a bit soon don’t you think? Like surely, and knowing Ben too, they will both want time to

edit. Can we ask all involve din the fashion show to meet on the Tuesday then Tash? Not heard from Alfie, and the open mic guys acoustic guitar is broken atm, so he either needs a spare, (any one we know?) or he needs to use an electric but Alfie said the generator type wouldn’t be enough for that. grrr :S xxxx

Naomi Farmer 07 April at 16:26 Reply

hmmmmm that’s what I thought no pre PR by the sounds of it :(

I have got some plastic to wrap cakes in, as well as making giant palm trees and R's and I's to decorate the rest of the event. I will be making these with my mum over the next week. :)

I thought that they would want more time than a day too to edit, makes me think that River Island can't really be bothered to help this year, especially as they aren't doing goody bags either. :(

My boyfriend has an acoustic...I can ask him. Have we got mic' equipment for the performers as well.?

I am getting screens sorted for the dress up box too so fingers crossed all will go well. xxx

Danielle Casey 07 April at 16:37 Reply

Oh you are a god girl! thanks so much, the palm trees will be fab, and glad yr sorting the changing area too :)

The groups previously must have spent a lot on goody bags.... when are we due to pay the council btw? I take it we are agreed by now, they still haven’t sent anything in writing, we need that to be legal and it to be legit don’t we.

Please ask Steve re guitar, it would be such a help. I am just trying to draw out a plan by hand as Kelly asked for one ages ago but I've not had chance to do it. Its not going to 100% to scale though :S xxxx

Naomi Farmer 07 April at 16:54 Reply

okies I will ask him tonight :)

yea I’m not sure, I have emailed Chris as to where we go from here as he has everything he asked for, other than risk assessment from jugglers but we'll have to just rule them out from here on. so not sure to be honest.....I expect they should be contacting us within the next few days surely :s

Hope so otherwise we are screwed!

Has the other girl contacted you as to whether she is doing proper style consultations?xxx

Danielle Casey 07 April at 17:28 Reply

no, I haven’t heard, but maybe I will once I've sent Kelly the plan because then she knows how much space she has. thing is I cant really give her a proper view other than the minimum space is the gazebo size, but I mean there is plenty of room on the beach so we can always move over. I was thinking though, we should go to the beach when we're back, measure out dimensions and then copy everyone involved a plan and a schedule.

had a thought- are there steps for this stage because how will fashion show work other wise loL!

I have got to write Rosie the compairs list of stuff to say, but its hard not knowing our timetable

this is a rough idea:

12.00-1pm whatever the actors come up with

1pm-2pm Open Mic session

3.00 pm Fashion show

3.30pm announcement of t-shirt illustration comp, anything else???

I will try to update budget so we can send it to RI the day after.

I will also email the floor plan I’ve drawn to you both incase we want to make any other changes to layout. We are in need of another table... and I think if we don’t give plastic hearts a gazebo we can manage, or if we use one for the cupcakes and drinks, that way Naomi’s mum can "food hygiene" drinks too? what do you thinkxx

Danielle Casey 07 April at 17:34 Reply

does Steve's guitar have a plug in thing, so it can do into speakers?

xxx

Danielle Casey 07 April at 17:56 Reply

just writing more up on the TO DO for the week we are back. shall we make one big one? and try to delegate before Monday. save us time xxxx

Naomi Farmer 07 April at 18:06 Reply

okies yea all sounds good to me. :)

Me and my mum will be about all next week so we can meet up on the beach etc, we'll also have to meet with everyone with regards to prep for the event! Have we gotten anymore feedback with the Polaroid’s? I'll ask Steve tonight about the guitar :) but I’m sure it does have a plug for speakers/ amp! with the gazebo's I think we will need two separate ones for refreshments as it may get crowded, and leave the plastic hearts without? but it all depends on the weather as face paint may need to have shelter in case it rains. It's also just hit me...do we need a backstage gazebo for Alex doing catwalk makeup?xxx

Danielle Casey 08 April at 00:08 Reply

ooo I wasn’t sure if she was going to just work with you, I mean realistically, one girl, and ten models, will she be able to do them all?? cant we persuade her to work with you in dress up :s maybe plastic hearts can be more in the refreshment area if the worst comes to worst in rain. I haven’t catered for a gazebo over the dj either and the Polaroid’s too, so we have to hope the weather is ok. any budget left we can nip and buy another couple of gazebos.xxx

Naomi Farmer 08 April at 08:08 Reply

okies not to worry...she said she would get a friend off the course to help her to do the models...because to be honest there isn't ne room for her to work in the dress up stall and I don't think many people will go through the effort of having their make up done in a weird way when there is face painting already :s I already think we will have to work hard to get people to dress up to be honest. eeeek. Shall I send Tash Alex's details so they can sort out the fashion show details between themselves?

yea we can get more if needs be but if it rains we will need one asap due to the dj equipment...maybe we can get one spare before the event as an instant backup?

Hope you're not working too hard?xxx

Tasha J 08 April at 09:47

woooooah!

stupid Waitrose is taking up my life

that’s helpful regarding the miss Dorset thing...more fashion involvement is a good thing.

and yep I'm free Monday to meet them, I'll organise the meeting with models for the Tuesday then instead of the Monday

I might get my mother to come back down with me...

the only day I'm unavailable is Thursday cause I arranged to go photograph that day at Selfridges...totally didn’t think that one through :S

wit the post pr are we all going to sit down and blog it together? we could easily sit down for half hour each day at uni to do that....there will be loads of photos thank god....I'm taking some as well.

I can’t remember is the filming happening now after that one fell through?

does anyone know if Danni’s sister has got more films?

is it just an acoustic normal guitar he needs? I have one

my friends given me a load of clothes she don’t wear anymore for the dress up too :)

should we have the make up girl/and friend around one of our houses maybe making over all the models in the morning? then they’ll be done?

yes let me have make up girls details! I swear I emailed her but never got a reply though

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tasha J 08 April at 09:56

Andrew Fletcher emailed me about wanting to film xxxx

Naomi Farmer 08 April at 12:47 Reply

hey ladies...

yea we have a film student going to do it for us :) he's contacting through Danielle, seems really nice and enthusiastic! yea I think an acoustic, although Danielle was on about having a plug for amp/ speakers? great bout dress up... maybe can bring over to mine next week sometime? I will forward you Alex's details, it will be easier for you to contact her directly! With morning prep I presume we would be setting up from quite early on and having to meet Natasha R.I at some point. My flat will be full of peeps but would be quite an obvious meeting point in the morn if we want to use the space.xxx

Naomi Farmer 08 April at 12:48 Reply

oh n Natasha R.I sent me an email....

Hi both

I will be the River Island representative attending your event. Please can you confirm what time it starts and who the contact will be? You will need to talk me through your event I won’t be staying for the whole event so please can you let me know what is happening when so I can ensure I don’t miss key parts of your event. I will also need you to take me through your promotion and PR coverage.

Kind regards,

Natasha Young

Danielle Casey 08 April at 16:25 Reply

Hmm, well after all we have planned I really think they ought to stay for the whole thing incase the time she comes is a bit dead and then it really picks up....

the acoustic just needs to plug into a speaker.

bit worried I cant get hold of Alfie.

think we will know more about the logistics of the prep for fashion show by Tuesday, after the meeting and we need to invite Alex.

are we doing the taster event on the Tuesday and Thursday, because Friday we might be really busy?? what do u think? we need time to go out and buy/collect all the stuff like string and bin bags, Primark t-shirts (Naomi were u getting them this holiday..?), fruit juice etc

oh and another thing that occurred to me---we need chairs! like the jewellery making area and t-shirt illustrating and the stall holders wont want to be stood up all day long. can us three just beg borrow steal all the deck chairs we can get our hands on??xxxx

Naomi Farmer 08 April at 16:51 Reply

Yes I am a bit disappointed in R.I for being like that...wish they could be there for the whole thing incase they miss anything!

I've tried ringing him both Tuesday and yesterday but no answer :(

yea I’m getting the tee's on sat from work in my lunch break! so all sorted :)

tasters on Tuesday and Thursday sounds good.. we can make cupcakes for these, how many do we want for each taster?

We can sort all final details in the meeting on Tuesday with the fashion show. Are we having a big meeting with all involved at any point?

and yea....we NEED chairs. eeeeek!xxx

Naomi Farmer 08 April at 17:09 Reply

oh girlies....

I have literally just received Juggle soc's details, and forwarded them straight to Chris Grayson. both the insurance details and the risk assessment :) fingers crossed it's just in time!xx

Naomi Farmer 08 April at 19:18 Reply

aaaand...an email from Chris;

Hi Naomi

We will need to see the food hygiene certificate please.

How are you providing the electricity at your event? Are you still using generators? If so these need to be on oil spill mats and we will need to see that they are PAT tested.

Many thanks

Chris Grayson

Events Department

as well as this I might have to rethink palm trees as the original idea I had isn't working but I’m sure I can rummage summing up! I am going to have to buy the stakes from b & q for the banner as my stepdad can't get them here...they’re too big!!! same for the staging as he won't be able to get 4 4ft x 8ft planks here, but he can supply 'feet' for the staging to stand on for free....he said he and my boyfriend can set it up on the beach so they can struggle on the sand lol! xxx

Tasha J 08 April at 21:19

Yer they should want to be there, shouldn’t they?

all the models are meeting at 1230 outside the fashion rooms, on the benches, apart from 4 as three go to bu and one is from home.

I’m Selfridges Thursday and would like to be there for both tasters so if you want to do them Tuesday and Thursday and don’t mind me not being there then that's cool, we could always sort the things out we need to buy like drinks chairs string etc

whatever early in the week to do the taster Friday, its up to you guys though!

YEY thank god you've got the bloody juggle soc stuff

Shall we come round help make cupcakes Monday eve with some vino?

do we need a big meeting with all? if its necessary id we have time to sort it...? we have everything under control though don't we?

yey feet for stage is awesome

its so annoying having to rely on so many people that could just pull out or not come up with goods at any time :(

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Danielle Casey 09 April a 16:18 Reply

Yes, I was wondering about the stage boards as they will be massive! Good idea about the feet, we will not be able to move it for the catwalk, but I don’t think that will be a prob. We do need to suss out what’s going to happen with getting models on and off the stage and maybe if they all have to start up on the stage then have some sort of circular, more abstract fashion show rather than catwalk.

The miss Dorset comp people are going to ask the girls in Bournemouth if they want to model, so it’s an extra if we have models spare or back ups etc. They can’t meet on Monday because they’re not actually based round here, but isn’t really a need anyway now, sorted via email.

I think if we just re contact all involved, a massive meeting may not be necessary and also, everyone has such different roles that it might not apply to all. perhaps if we ask the stall people to meet and def need to meet with Rosie. we need to type out the "I agree to my photo/being filmed and it being on River Island website, and used for documentation of the event by organisers" and then a list for names and signatures.

is there anyone else really vital we need to meet? other than the mysterious ALFIEE aaah. I will email JO about him.

do we think 50 cakes max per taster??? xxxxx

Naomi Farmer 09 April at 16:23 Reply

okies yes sounds good...my only other concern is FIRST AID! lol, do we actually have any as Chris Grayson said we do need peeps there and a first aid kit :( I thought my mum was but she doesn't she's only got food hygiene and CRB. I think as long as we have one person there throughout that can do it then we should be fine!

and ALFIIIEEEEEE is our missing link atm :s he's great but not brilliant at contacting! grrrrr.

that amount of cakes will be fine, I think we should try and get our tee's printed with the illustrations for these taster's too! Plastic Hearts are unable to do it though :(xxx

Naomi Farmer 09 April at 16:25 Reply

ooooh but good bout jugglers yea? and wondering what time I should get plastic hearts, Battenburg etc on site on the sat so I can email them during the week. Maybe a generic email should be sent to all attending the event to rally up some interest and get people thinking bout it more?!

xx

Danielle Casey 09 April at 17:46 Reply

yea that’s an idea. first aid....hmm...maybe one to ask Anne about. I really am glad the jugglers are going to do it! I think they will make the day to be honest and keep an atmosphere going. maybe 10.30 for people without much to set up...? still plenty of time then? xxx

Tasha J 09 April at 20:12

mums first aid cause of school and will be therexxxx

Naomi Farmer 09 April at 22:08 Reply

oooh could she get us a first aid box me luvvie?xxx

Naomi Farmer 09 April at 22:14 Reply

oh n btw.....we have confirmation from the council...letter of agreement to be signed in my name but we all need to keep a copy, has all the regs etc that we MUST keep to :s

very official, it's scary!!!xxx

Danielle Casey 11 April at 12:51 Reply

YESSSS finally! well done girls!!!

just thought of a major mistake we've made lol---we have planned to meet the fashion people about the show at 12.30 lunchtime on Tuesday, but we are meant to be doing the taster event then! loL!

We could do the tasters on weds and Friday instead? Monday we have quite a bit to sort, I am typing up a WBS detailed for this week. I will email it to you both and add anything else etc xxxx

Danielle Casey 11 April at 13:04 Reply

IF jugglers etc are DEF coming do we need something to corner off an area for fire breathing safety etc?xxx

Tasha J 11 April at 13:06

I think wed and Friday def for the tasters! I think the day before will work in our favor yey yey yey ok dokey xxxxxx

Danielle Casey 11 April at 13:29 Reply

yea ok babes, good thinking, I will email performers and ask them about Thursday if they can meet briefly to arrange their time slots. it might be a case of meeting some individually so we can really get the detail of each performer. there is a dancer that wants to be involved too. xxx

Naomi Farmer 11 April at 21:18 Reply

ok sounds good! just keep me in the loop! I will be frantically baking on Friday but can still do the hour taster! I am signing the contract and going to drop it off to Chris tomorrow morning. :) How can we get our hands on a first aid kit? ne ideas? thanks for the WBS too...erm that’s all for now!!!!xxx

Tasha J 11 April at 23:14

mum would have been able to get one from school but they’re on holiday until 19th :( annoying so...I have a feeling she might have one at home I will call her tomorrow xxxxxxxxxxxx

Danielle Casey 12 April at 17:19 Reply

well done today everyone! glad we went down to the beach and sorted stuff. did you get the voucher ok? sixty million were good, left 3 posters and some stickers :) xxxx

Tasha J 12 April at 18:17

o yey, yep Naomi got the voucher the card has a design sort of like ours too!

Paul emailed me its one lady coming now, got to give her a ring to tell her where it is etc.

and all the models seem fine to meet, apart from the lad, cause he has to work tomorrow so he can have Saturday off. And my friend from home and the three bu girls.

so it’s only a few but I suppose it is more for the organisation

xxxxxxxxxx

Danielle Casey 12 April at 18:40 Reply

do we have the right number of models to garments now? did u let Lauren know?

the Miss Dorset contestant can make it, she is from the aucb which is handy. If she is extra I might be able to get my mum to bring one of my garments down from home. xxx

Tasha J 12 April at 21:51

yep...my friend is being hard to get hold of, so we might be two outfits short, three with the Dorset girl

nope I forgot about Lauren! can you ask? if you haven’t already

but lots of people did say we could use their stuff id just need to ask in person

get your mum to bring yours anyway though?

xxxxxxx

Danielle Casey 14 April at 22:17 Reply

hey girls,

I have got the RI posters done professionally so we can give them to Natasha from RI on sat :) looks cool!

Is anyone going to be able to get more jewellery thread? I have bought chalk for writing on the floor. two sets of people have emailed to say they can help out on the day, one with CRB check so that’s fab.

I also have to contact Alison from marketing, Anne said she wants to send a photographer.

I am meeting john from film tomorrow as he needs to have the paperwork to borrow equipment signed by Anne.

meeting Rosie on Friday morning to go through the schedule and Libby says that a tony and guy hairdresser is coming to help out on sat.

the walkie talkies are arriving tomorrow.

hope all is going well at your ends. xxx

Naomi Farmer 15 April at 09:04 Reply

great!!!

I am getting the banner poles sorted they will have to have guide ropes coming off them to support it, but I will make a few please mind your step signs to go next to them.

I will try to get more thread today :)

and it's funny because I got chalk yesterday as well and emailed Alison....she got back to me basically saying that she wants us to give her photos from the day next week to keep on file!

did u order 2 gazebo's in the end? oh and I'm not sure if Alex can do makeup anymore :s she said she'd let me know but so far...nothing!

Danielle Casey 15 April at 10:14 Reply

agr just wrote a really long message that’s been lost :(

the make up will have to be minimal then, I will let Libby know.

I don’t need to ring Alison then?

Thanks for saying u will get thread.

I am going to update the budget, print out that and the business plan, and get a copy of DV8 put it all together with a list of post PR we are getting and stuff we couldn’t do because of council and put it in the posh folder I have to give to Natasha RI with the posters and sticker.

I have spoken to Alfie, we are now going to hire the cdj stuff, only £30 so that’s good. HE is sending someone to pack it up too, bless him

another email offering help, so that’s great :)

got the gazebos, will bring Friday.

What’s the situ with cakes? I think we def definitely need more.... spoken to Sam about it last night, I can make some, but was thinking, would it be easier if I buy some sponge bases, and decorate them as its probbably cheaper too??xxx

Naomi Farmer 15 April at 11:52 Reply

I don't think so as I got an email from her yesterday afternoon but not heard anything since form Alison.

I have tried looking for thread but as of yet I haven't found ne, I will keep going though. I have bought some rope to support the banner beams from Robert Dyas, as was only £1 will sort the signs today too. Leave all this little bits to me as you've done a fab job with sorting the paperwork for Natasha! u lil star!

N Alfie is a star too!!! :)

yea I think we need more, just do whatever u feel comfy with as any will be better than none. Have we decided on a price to sell them at? Also what are we wearing on Sat? something samey? I have got plastic cups for our volunteers and a picnic blanket we can use!

Hopefully all going well!xxx

Tasha J 15 April at 14:01

I've got lots of thread!!!

Naomi Farmer 15 April at 14:06 Reply

ooooh like loads of jewellery elastic thread stuff???xxx

Tasha J 15 April at 14:08

maybe us three should wear black blazers? so can tell us three from the other helpers

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Mum said she'd bake some cakes? how many more do we think we need?

I was going to say about getting some plastic cups for volunteers drinks when we get the drink but you are soooo on the ball Miss Farmer

yey Alfie is amazing

Tamsin and Liz have made other plans for sat so can't help out

also looking dodgy again with my friends collection, I'm ANNOYED so have to find a couple other outfits I think not sure though because one model can't make it anymore cause of it being early. but I shall sort that out

I think minimal base make up will be all we need anyway, might email them saying bring a nice lip gloss too?

just seen tiffany at Selfridges!

loves to you xxxxxxx

Danielle Casey 15 April at 14:23 Reply

yea if you can get the models to wear base and mascara too.

we have another model coming with the Miss Dorset team so she can help out if we are short.

with the outfits -try to get hold of some more!

if your mum is making cakes, will you be able to label them and package them ok?

I am doing an extra 100 too.

I think I am going to have to put my name on me somewhere as there are a few people turning up that have never met me and will be wondering who I am! xxx

Tasha J 15 April at 14:26

okies

model count garment count is fine too

yer I shall ask her if she’s got white labels and plastic if not can go purchase some

Naomi did you say labels from the range and wilko??xxxx

Naomi Farmer 15 April at 14:28 Reply

yea I have 126 labels left. not including the ones left for Steve’s mum. I have no bags left. The packaging' is difficult because most plastic curls into the icing but there are specific cupcake bags in Lakeland that I got that work ok.

I'm thinking names and white tee's if we can do them with the illustration on! :)xxx

Naomi Farmer 15 April at 14:30 Reply

yea I’ve mocked up labels on my laptop so can easily print them out. I don't think we should go too over the top on the cakes...we will already have 400 now :)

Labels are print out paper ones...63x38 sized. Then I can print out for u guys!xxx

Danielle Casey 15 April at 14:30 Reply

so without Steve's mum's you have 70 left

we def need more

I am going to get bags etc shortly, Tash if I get some for you will your mum be here making them? or will she need them at your house?xxx

Naomi Farmer 15 April at 14:32 Reply

no I have 126 left for u guys to use! xxx

Danielle Casey 15 April at 14:33 Reply

well if your mum and you do 250

Steve's mum 50

and I am going to buy ready made bases and ice them nicely to make another 100

Naomi Farmer 15 April at 14:36 Reply

I really think that that's all we need. I don't event think 400 people will turn up let alone have a cupcake each! lol we don't need more labels either it's just making more work for ourselves.xxx

Naomi Farmer 15 April at 14:38 Reply

got hold of someone in office of echo...Darren is away till 20th of April grrrr! so therefore I don't think they've done anything on us. The woman I spoke to said she hadn't heard anything about it! So annoyed because he said to leave it to him n it will get done :(

Sorry guysxxx

Danielle Casey 15 April at 14:56 Reply

oh great :(

So what’s happening with the cakes now? I am still making 100?

Its better to have more than we need. We don’t want to run out by 2.00pm. I'd rather do more and be on the safe side, because it’s due to be a sunny day, there are going to be a lot of people on the beach without us even advertising to them. xx

Naomi Farmer 15 April at 15:00 Reply

oh and another thing....surely we will have to have them all the same size due to how much we charging for them??? we have done muffin sizes. we've got 42 left to bake then we're done. will ice all tomorrow :) woop woop we're getting there. :)

The echo lady said she will look into whether he's actually done a piece on us or not but she said that he's had to go on unexpected leave so maybe he's had things going on and not been able to complete work etc. I sent him a press release that he liked so I’m not really sure what to make of the situation!xxx

Naomi Farmer 15 April at 15:05 Reply

kk...well tasters are pre promo, as well as posters and stickers and dv8 etc putting them in sixty mill, R.I and buffalo! I’m gutted it's fallen through but I’m still on the case to see if we can turn this situation around. With the cakes do what you think best. It would be good if they can be as similar as possible and packaged the same...give a professional look, and I know what you mean it is hard to guesstimate but surely 400 cakes will be ample??? 300 from my lot and another 100. it was only £20 for ingredients for all of it, not sure if pre made bases will work out cheaper or not but worth a try. less work I suppose :)xxx

Danielle Casey 15 April at 15:15 Reply

ok so I will do another 100 then, but I wouldn’t worry about them looking different because we can charge £1 for the big ones and 50p for the little ones. sell the little ones if we run out of big ones or something?

how much are we charging for cocktails? 50p?

Naomi Farmer 15 April at 15:19 Reply

yea sounds good to me :)

lets try not stress too much, today and tomorrow were always going to b mad, crazy!!!! heard from juggle soc.....half hour on stage from 12 then into a designated circular area maybe layout with stones???

they also are going to get people involved and teach people!:)

hmmmm just when I thought things were looking up I just received this from juggle soc....

Hi

Sorry....forgot to ask, usually when we do events for free, we ask that our

travel expenses are covered, this is usually £approximately £20-£25.

Is this possible?

This is due to having to transport equipment to and from the location.

Thanks

Helen

what do u think?

I think we are going to have to put the ingredients on the actual box of those fairy cakes on the labels. we don’t want to get in any trouble. is there any chance you can go to wilko on the way to uni tomorrow? if not, I will email you the ingredients on the box, and then we can attach them on the day?xxxx

Natasha just replied re budget, she said we don’t need to use the whole budget and if we make the event a success without using it all, even better :) x
