Here is some advice in getting a crowd to your event

Organise a Raffle & sell tickets for several weeks prior to your Fair. On the ticket not only list the prizes but also advertise that it will be drawn at the end of the day. Great way to raise funds plus attract people to attend.

Colouring Competition several weeks before your day children are asked to design & colour Fair Notices with winners being displayed in local shop windows.

Signs & Banners several weeks prior to your date make & display large signs advertising your day. Not just outside the School, but also on main traffic though fares. Sometimes we have trouble locating the school we are hired at. No wonder the crowd was poor.( local Real Estate Agents will readily donate signs for you, also carrying their name & details)

School Newsletters count down your day in the Newsletter the more notice the more chance of high attendances.

School Dancing & or Choir Group not just the child attends, Mum, Dad, Brothers , Sisters, Aunties, Uncles & Grand Parents will often come along for their big moment. Instant crowd!!!!!!!!!!

An annual Fete or Fair is a major fund raising activity for any school or community, requiring many months of planning to make the event a success.

With both parents working long hours, it is getting harder and harder to find people willing to convene fete stalls. Markets are becoming an increasingly popular way to boost stall numbers at school fetes. and many schools now include these in their fetes, charging stallholders a fee and/or a percentage of takings.

A well set up market area will guarantee many additional visitors to your fete from outside your school community.

By inviting market stalls along you can increase the variety of items on offer as well as attracting the visitors from outside your school community.

Stall holders will pay for the privilege. Rates vary from $25 per site to $50 or 20% of their takings by way of commission, or a combination of both. – Keep your fees cheap to encourage more stall holders till you establish a reputation of success.

Organising a large event is a lot of hard work, but it is also a lot of fun and you will make many new friends. Getting involved in a school or community project is a very rewarding experience.

How To Plan A Fete – Some important advice for organisers

• Ensure that you document everything no matter how trivial. This will help ensure not only your success but also future committees will always thank you.
• On the day-Toilets – are there sufficient, close enough, are they open??? Who has the key???
• Have plenty of bins/wheelie bins and hire a large dumper bin if necessary to avoid inconveniencing the school’s normal collection.
• Have a good knowledge of electrical requirements for equipment, where is the switchbox located??? Do you have keys???
• Make sure money collectors for stalls are known to all with no exceptions!!!!!!!!!!
