Having a background in marketing and events helped but certainly couldn't do it without the volunteers on the day. The lead up was hectic as only 5 of us doing anything and we worked. <br /><br />The kids loved it and we raised money which at the end of the day is what it's all about.Tracey from Central Coast Seachangehttp://www.centralcoastseachange.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-69989894753856607472011-11-08T10:17:15.718+11:002011-11-08T10:17:15.718+11:00I wrote a post on my blog the same day as you abou...I wrote a post on my blog the same day as you about our own school fete.<br />Your take on it was so much nicer than mine!

However the behind the scene politics of fete committees is something to behold. Scary parents with scary agendas. I'll just pour another glass and take a back seat :-)buttonbrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02644950461887904205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-36135098900072274712011-11-07T06:59:43.182+11:002011-11-07T06:59:43.182+11:00So true!

I've been on the kinder committee for two years, and it's not dissimilar to being on university committees.<br />As an aside, could you do a post on preparing a resume to return to work? I had to redo mine recently after 4 years out and I don't feel I did myself justice on paper. <br />Looking forward to this book of yours, particularly now you've put us on rations. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-3546151243769397762011-11-07T06:18:18.790+11:002011-11-07T06:18:18.790+11:00So so true.

Twice yearly (sports day and christmas concert) for the duration of the primary era...<br /><br />Those organisers - they have better data bases than recruitement agencies I tell you...<br /><br />Glad you had a cold beer afterwards.

Although, homeschooling would have plenty to offer in the way of resume fodder, now that I think of it.tinsenpuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955496156384131307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-62086614190809192152011-11-06T23:44:24.820+11:002011-11-06T23:44:24.820+11:00Love a school fair/fete.
