Car Boot Sale - Sorry

By
😢
 
CAR BOOT SALE - We can only apologise to those who turned up today hoping the car boot sale was on. A big thank you to Caroline who pointed out that the banner advertising the car boot was still up in Waitrose car park. 

As you know the Events Team is made up of volunteers and sometimes things go awry. There is a team of 3, led by Mike, who run the car boot sale. Sometimes life gets in the way and they are not available on the Sunday. We normally remove such advertising but obviously failed to do so this time, so we can only apologise again. 

What we need are more volunteers to help to ensure this does not happen again. If you would like to assist please get in touch. If we had more willing helpers we could then have a rota so only had to be committed for perhaps one in 3, or be a reserve when a problem like today happens,
It would be such a shame if this were to fold through lack of volunteers

SUMMER FETE SUCCESS

By
The sun shone and the families came to see the 80 stalls, arena events, animals, dog show, horse and carriage, etc etc.  What a fabulous day.  Being a volunteer with Waterlooville Events team it was an exhausting day but also had a sense of satisfaction that we had achieved it for another year.  The day started at 7am to put up our gazebo, then getting the toilets in place and then the stalls on the field.  It calmed until we had to get them off at the end of the day.  So home at 5pm for relaxation. 18 volunteers ran the day.  Many before hand - booking stalls;  organising arena;  doing the relevant paperwork with various authorities; finding the funding; etc etc. What we need are more volunteers.  Why don't you help.  Many hands make light work!!  Be an elf in the xmas grotto, or even be a santa!!  Why not help with the Xmas event??   or help us with the brand new event in May  Waterlooville Carnival in the...

FESTIVE LIGHTS, NONE FOR WATERLOOVILLE!

By
Some of you may have read previous blogs as I have tried to work my way through the bureaucracy of licensing and installation for festive lights in the town centre.  In fairness the paperwork has been easier (was started in JUNE!) mainly because a lovely lady called Katie in Havant Borough Council has been helping me. So why am I saying there will be no festive lights in Waterlooville this year?  Scottish and Southern Electrics SSE!!   We have to get permission to hang the motifs from their lighting columns (also know as lamp posts!)  To do that we have to get an installer approved by them!! Our installer from last year retired and we had to find a new one.  To hang, plug in and flick a switch on  8 motifs, put the lights in the Xmas tree, plug in and flick a switch, and also hang some battery powered lights in the trees (and remove)   Our first quote COST £3500  Which we felt was excessive. We did find a local installer, Cl...
