The whole point of Michealmas Fair was started was as a street fair with a few vintage vehicles thrown in to generate extra visitors to the town to spend money with the local shops,pubs, campsites etc.


The biggest problem the Michealmas Fair Comittee have is getting visitors to pay, as it in the streets. to cover costs for next years event to go ahead.

So any visitors please could they support the event by buying a wristband £5 for the whole weekend, there really is so much more to see than the vintage section, with music,dancers performers, with stalls selling local produce, the mountain bike stunt team are worth a look on Sunday,

Forecast is good lets all have a good weekend

We have always paid, it's a small price for a great weekend or even for just a day visit. The first time we went the collectors were in the street and made it clear it was a voluntary contribution and so a lot of people weren't coughing up. Last year they were set up at the gate as you left the car park so it looked like an entrance charge.. I think that was a better way to catch people.

See you all tomorrow morning bright and early.

Too late for me, Doreen needs her beauty sleep. I will just drink and think of you all.

Hi

I think Voluntary is the way to go, lots of people cough up more than one would if they were asked to pay, and then the few that really do struggle, are not excluded from the fun, just as they can't donate so much...


Of course you will always get the ones, who really don't pay anything for no real reason, other than being tight...

Cheers

Dave
