Summer Fair 25 - update

NL reported profit from Summer Fair was £5,000. [2024 profit was £6900]

All reported Fair was quieter this year - due to being so hot. Stiif lots of visitors attending but due to heat. People had a look around and then left, to get out of the heat. The atmosphere was still amazing. Comments that we were competing with other events happening around Worthing. It’s impossible to avoid this as so much going on throughout the Summer.

Raffle ticket sales much lower than 2024.

Entertainers were all great & good value for money. Bob, Town Crier, is great, everyone loves seeing him. Live band, Electric Feel, was great. interacted with the other performers and great entertainment. New food choices - nachos & donuts - were a great addition to the BBQ.

BBQ team confirmed 8BQ was quieter - less people buying. Queues were easier to manage.

Inflatables were quieter - possibly as they had to be put in the Sports Hal!. Too hot for them to be outside. Inside was better than not having them but possibly people didn't see them - despite being clearly advertised.

Overall! Summer Fair was a fantastic day, enjoyed by everyone who volunteered & all those who attended.

Forthcoming Events

Wrestling Fri 3rd October

This is a niche event but is quite popular. CB trying to push with school - 25% discount code issued for all school ticket sales.

Rob Noye will not be able to be in the Ring this year - due to a knee injury. Kapow are aware. RN took the alias “The Teacher”- very popular with the audience.

RN has agreed to return as “The Teacher” but will not be able to do any wrestling.

Fireworks ‘Fri 7th November

PB announced he would like Fireworks to include a Bonfire. This will be built and controlled by Andy Kyte & 3 Firemen friends. AK has al! the necessary safety equipment including large portable water container. AK All agreed bonfire is traditional and a good addition but needs to be completely safe. Discussion about having a guy. It was decided this was not suitable. CB spoken with AK who confirms bonfire will only be possible if the weather conditions are are suitable. High winds/wind direction will all be reviewed before going ahead. NL/CB to liaise with Sean to confirm bonfire is in suitable position to go ahead with Fireworks NL/CB After Fireworks finish the event goes very flat - as everything is over. We have booked Electric Feel to perform again. They will do 2 sets - 1800 - 1845 and 1945 - 2030. Hope to encourage additional food/drinks sales - visitors will stay a bit longer. Issues with BBQ last year. Sausages pre cooked in the kitchen, but due to lack of runners, couldn't get sausages out to the BBQ quickly enough. Many sausages were part cooked so had to be discarded. Need to organise dedicated runners in future. Discussion around items to be cooked on 8BQ: Do we need burgers, sausages & hot dogs? Decided to simply cook burgers and hot dogs - no sausages. Vegan hot dogs to be available. Use new hot dog steamer - hot dogs need to be warmed before they go into steamer - it’s stow to heat from cold. Not a problem when warm, Vegan hot dogs to go in a pan on the BBQ. Do we need veggie burgers? We have never been asked for these & they take 15mins+ to cook. All felt The cooking delay was too long and we have vegan hot dogs, nachos, hot dogs & smores. Hot dog steamer to be placed alongside BBQ. We will need to order additional burgers, now not cooking sausages. Need approx 600 burgers. CB to check those left over from Summer Fair before Fireworks order placed. CB Need approx 500 hot dogs - large ones. CB to check Booker’s for larger tins of hot dogs. CB May need to purchase from multiple shops - jars x 8. Food & refreshments offering - burgers, hot dogs, vegan hot dogs, nachos, smores, donuts, candy floss, sweets, hot drinks inc Hot Choc, Licensed Bar, shmoo milkshakes, soft drinks Gloware to be sold. Please could all available members check volunteer sheet & volunteer sheet & & choose where they would would like to work work yolunteersignup.org/4XHJW Details of further FOR events to be discussed and confirmed. Funding Requests Steve Bell - Climbing Club £645 for new ropes and harnesses. Agreed. CB to advise Steve Bel! and Finance cB Luke Davies - Psychology Boost Package for Years 12 & 13 £320 - on off payment for one year Agreed. CB to confirm prices with Luke Davies and advise Finance CB PB advised Steve Davies has requested FOR donate an amount for each year group to be used for Rewards Scheme for each year group.
