THE SALES TEAM

by Jacky Walker

The Sales Team have been running outside events for the past seven years but, due to health and personal problems, we have decided that it is time to retire.
We are therefore asking whether anyone would like to take over from us. There are usually four outside events during the summer months and one inside, namely the Autumn or Christmas Fayre.
The job involves purchasing suitable items for sale (mostly for children) and acquiring publicity items from RSPB.

The equipment consists of putting up the gazebo and four tables and setting out the sales goods - and then standing back and having fun!

Please contact either Jacky Walker or Gordon Daniels on 01707 644299 if you can help.

Tables for Hire

The Group has purchased 4 heavy duty plastic tables for their outside events. They are 6ft. long, 30” wide and 30” high and they fold in half. They weigh approximately 40lbs. They are suitable for use outdoors or indoors. We propose to hire them out when the Sales Team are not using them at a cost of £10 per week per table, but we would require a deposit of £70 per table as they were an expensive purchase! Delivery may be possible. Maximum hire time 7 days.

Any enquiries to be directed to Gordon Daniels on 01707 644299.
