Forest Hill Fashion Week 2016

Events
#1

Hi All

i’ve now set the dates for Forest Hill Fashion Week 2016!

Thursday 22nd - Sunday 25th September.

This is a programme of free events for the community run by local volunteers.

I’m pleased to say we have funding secured from FH assembly funding which will cover the costs of PLI, marquee set up & brochure printing.

I can work with this - so we’re off :smiley:

First core team meeting is tomorrow evening, here we are

http://fhfw.co.uk/fhfw-2015-team/

In the past I only coordinated the kids events, but took on the full event last year as no one else was prepared to due to lack of funding - I think it was a great success & we done this with less funding than any previous year, and we have more this year than last, hence bringing back the brochure.

If anyone would like to offer their skills I’d love to hear from you via here or by emailing fhfw.co.uk

Got most covered, but another pair of hands working on & updating the website would be most helpful.

Thanks

Pauline

Hi All

I’ve started working on the prep for FHFW 2016.

All local input is very welcome, so please feel free to comment or suggest extra events.

The dates are Thursday 22nd till Sunday 25th September this year.

If anyone wants to add an event, workshop, discount or promotion that ties in please let me know so it can be added to the brochure.

I’ll confirm the preferred venues this week.

We’re advertising it as “Forest Hill Arts” presents “Forest Hill Fashion Week” this year as myself & Emma are in the process of setting up FH Arts & Donald will be involved in this too. We’ll keep everyone in the loop with FH Arts events & progress FYI & also incase anyone wants to be involved in any way.

Here’s my part email to my core team that might be of interest & all are welcome to ge involved in any way if they want too, this is a FREE community event for all :slight_smile:

Thanks

Pauline

Website & Social Media

  • Website - I’ve spoke to Sol (web developer) & he’ll take on the running of the website as Sareta has got a new job which means she’s mega busy, but she’ll still be in the loop. Sareta I’ll send an email to both you & Sol tomorrow to arrange a suitable time to share passwords etc
  • Facebook - Pauline & Em to carry on with this
  • Twitter - Pauline, Em & Zoe to take on this
  • Instagram - I’ll set up a new one & share passwords with Em & Zoe to share doing this. John let me know if you want to share doing this too, so you can get pics out straight away

Manisha, are you okay playing the slot I have put in for you, also goes without saying you’re more than welcome to have a stall at both the catwalk show & the clothes & craft fair & be one of the designers in the catwalk show.

Benjamin Mathews (local estate agent) is happy to do a brochure drop to 10,000 homes in FH so it will be advertised well locally, we’ll add him as a sponsor for this.

If anyone thinks anything needs changing or added please let me know ASAP.

Cheers
