Midlands forum meet up - Potteries GPR Xmas Fair 17th November 2018

Does anybody attending have larger empty biscuit tins they no longer need and could bring them to the meet, please? I am running a bit short.

Better bring some containers for muffins, too! I've made two batches of lemon and poppy muffins and am now working on a vegan chocolate muffin with homemade (vegan) orange curd!
 
Sorry guys, yet another one we cant attend... Will def be making the next one. Have a great time - remember to take photos

Just checking @Wiebke are you coming to Birmingham tomorrow? Is that when you want tins?

Tomorrow, please!
I am rather short of biscuit tins to keep all the different varieties of biscuits in I am going to bake in the next couple of weeks for the Potteries and the TEAS fundraisers.

There will be a double portion of lemon and poppy seed muffins and the same of vegan chocolate muffins with orange curd tomorrow. ;)

But any larger biscuit tins anybody can donate tomorrow for my fundraising Christmas biscuit baking orgy are most welcome!
 
If only it was the week after as we are staying at parents in law and they are only 15 mins away, four hours from here though and I'm working that date!

Is somebody with an empty car able to come via Coventry and could pick me up with tons of biscuits for my stall?

We are unfortunately still without a car for at least the rest of this year waiting for a referral specialist appointment.
Coming by train to Stoke (and needing a pick-up from there) would mean that I could take a lot less (and as a result sell less).

Again, the same request goes for the next TEAS fundraiser in Northampton on the following weekend.

Any driver is entitled to a free goodies bag from my stall! I have some vegan and gluten-free options available. :tu:

Have you been able to find a lift @Wiebke ? If not I may be able to help ... :dri:
 
Helen has asked me to share this with you.
At the Fair on Saturday artist Katrina will be holding a raffle to win a pet portrait. She is donating proceeds to the donkey sanctuary. Below is a photo of Helen with her portrait of Howard (a special birthday present commissioned by Helen’s brother).
Even if you are unable to attend the fair you can still participate - all you need to do is send £1 per entry BY PAYPAL to [email protected] You must send it by family and friends so that the whole £1 arrives. In your donation message please Include your forum name so we know who you are.
For every whole £1 that the rescue receives we will purchase a raffle ticket on your behalf in Katrina’s raffle. It’s also a good idea to comment on this thread so that Helen and I can keep an eye on it for you.

That is amazing, she’s very talented.
 
Fabulous day today at the event. Didn’t manage to take many photos as was rather busy helping out on stalls and doing some piggy related stuff for the rescue. I’m sure we will get an update on the amounts raised later. It was the busiest and best event yet, so well attended and so much generosity on display.

Managed to say hello to @karonus (aka Santa Paws), @Wiebke (aka one woman baking marathon), @The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue who organised the whole event, @Flutterby (and hub) aka Rescue Elves, @Veggies Galore @Posyrose @Qualcast&Flymo @Mother Hubbard @Davide @YvonneBlue @MartiDavi @BertisKing @Merrypigs Sanctuary @Wheekallweek @Gem789 . Thank you all for such fabulous support.
