Following a well earned winter break, the Bean Feast crew are back and getting their ‘core’ team together to put on this year’s Beanfeast – celebration of all things harvest and local during the summer. They’ve done it twice now to great acclaim; learnt a lot and are raring to go.
They need help – can you spare some time and energy to help put on this much loved local event? Please consider it – nothing happens without local community input. Roles needed to be filled are Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Volunteer co-ordinator, Festival co-ordinator and Marketing co-ordinator. You’ll need to spare some time and energy, but it’s a grand day out.
If you’re interested, get in touch with Amelia Taylor, and if possible, go to the ‘EGM’ (Emergency General Meeting I think) to sort out who can do what and how:
Bean Feast Meeting: Wednesday 23rd March, 6:30 pm Arts House, Stokes Croft
Please have a think about it and get onboard if you can. Here’s their newsletter:
Hope you’re all enjoying the signs of Spring! Some important dates have also ‘sprung up’ (excuse the pun) for our fabulous Bean Feast! Can you make the EGM (emergency general meeting) on 23rd March, 6.30pm at the Arts House? Urgent action now is needed if we want a festival this year!BF Team 2011!If we want another festival this year we need a core group of 6 people elected at our EGM (Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Volunteer Co-ordinator, Festival Co-ordinator and Marketing Co-ordinator). You’ve probably all seen the attached about the roles, but take another look here…could a role/s fit with your plans for the summer? Or perhaps you know someone who might be interested? These roles are designed to lock together without any one person taking ‘the whole thing’ on!GrantsThe BCC application needs to be done by 17th March! (we are not excluded from applying again this year, so there’s up to £2000 up for grabs again).Also the Bean Feast’s bank, The Cooperative Bank, said we were eligible to apply for up to £2000 community fund grant. This also needs to be in by the end of March at the very latest!!!Urgent actions we need to do now to have a festival this year…can you:• Help get people to the EGM - we need a poster, e-flyer etc designed, and distributors.• Help apply for the BCC and Coop Bank grants (and relevant licenses etc) before the EGM. A group of us could meet to focus on this.Please do let me know if you are potentially interested in any of the roles attached and if you are able to help with the urgent tasks listed above.Best wishes to you all,Amelia (Taylor)
