Minutes from meeting at the Co-operative Northwich

We talked about the following ideas for the co-op day.
  • Dress down day for staff
  • Hampers to raffle supplied by the co-op
  • Facepainting
  • Sales of books
  • Money off vouchers given out in store before the event and redeemable on good in store on the day
  • Speaking to Cheshire Fm for press and possible outside broadcast
  • Flyers printed by the co-op to tell about the event
  • Press release from the Oxfam group as its not a business it will stand more chance.
  • Healthy eating bags to kids from a class at a local school 
  • Asking a class from a local school to come along ( the nearest school is
  • Witton Church Walk C Of E Primary School) 
  • A talk on ethical eating by somebody from the co-op for kids. 
  • The human joke machine- give the manager a subject and he will come up with one joke for a donation. 
  • Craft stall 
  • Craft kits for sale
  • A piece of art made from the waste from the shop
  • Refreshments etc. for the singers will be supplied by the co-op 
  • Choir singing either outside or indoors if weather bad. 

50/50 split on monies made 50 to oxfam 50 to mencap. 

We discussed the following for further events:
Car boot sale on the car park. Ran by Co-op with some proceeds going to Oxfam.

We discussed the following dates:
Friday 16th December as best fit for co-op
Saturday 10th and 17th are dates already being considered by the Good news singers.

Proposed plan of action: ( let me know if it seems wrong)
  • Set a date for all gigs Asap
  • Decide on which elements we could realistically cover
  • Contact Jon at Co-op and arrange other meeting to finalise plans
  • Contact school if appropriate
  • Start a list of interested singers/volunteers
  • Get volunteers for craft, facepainting, giving out flyers etc.
  • Do press stuff
  • Contact Oxfam shop to arrange to chat to them.
