Extra hours needed!

In an effort to fit everything in today I got up earlier than normal. My jobs today.... Sit with Jon and decide which prizes will be best in the raffle and which should go up for Auction, ie Dot Taylor up the road, wife of farmworker Fred may not want a set of bike leathers as a raffle prize or a lap round Oliver's Mount on the back of Guy Martin! LOL! Collect pies from butchers, take over to Village Hall. Transport Peas over to the same. Get hall ready. Let disco chap into hall this afternoon. Transport all of the raffle/auction prizes Practise my karaoke (will do this in car on way to butchers!) Get the washing done. Hoover the house as the dogs insist in moulting till it is out of fashion! Find Jon something other than pie and peas for his lunch! Here are the prizes I have collected! Paddock Jacket Chainlock £50 Voucher £50 Voucher Aprilla Jacket Aprilla T-Shirt Hat T-shirt 5 laps round Teesside Autodrive in sidecar of classic bike Towel 2 PaddockPasses/Entrance to Spring National 2 Team T-shirts 2 VIP passes to any BSB race meeting after Oulton Park Team Fleece Dunlop Cap 1 lap of honour pillion with Guy Martin Bike Wash Insect Eject Chain Lube 1001 Lubricant O-Ring Chain Lube Racing Grease Brake Fluid Copper Grease Wax Polish Spray Teesside Karting 2 x 2hr15mins Karting Sessions Redcar Speedway 2 Complimentary Entrance Tickets Leathers Bike Jacket Bottle of Bucks Fizz 1 Year Subscription to Road Racing Ireland Bottle of Whisky Bottle of Vodka Ice Bottle of Spirits Bottle of Spirits Full English Breakfast Full English Breakfast Calved Wooden Bowls Bottle of Whiskey Herb Vinegar Irish Cream Red Wine Cava White Wine Joey Dunlop Picture Joey Dunlop Picture TT DVD (inc Ian) So, you can see it is a busy busy day. Doors open at 8pm. Tonight I will be on the door with Jon, collecting money/tickets. Enid & Maureen (SIL)will be selling raffle tickets We will eat around 9pm. A couple of pals will be dishing out the pie, peas, gravy, mint sauce will be on tables. Tidy up, (volunteers will wash up!)The raffle will be drawn, then the Auction will start. After the Auction, dancing and karaoke! I know somebody is doing this... It sounds all so domestic detail here, but believe me it helps me keep organised and stay on track. The worst thing that can happen is we have too many pies, but we always auction the extra ones off anyway! Will take lots of photographs and will do a full report later!
