Don’t get me wrong, I really love my job as an Usborne book representative and I have a lot of fun and this weekend was no different. On Saturday afternoon, I went with Claire (in Nikki’s team) down to the Ice rink. We set up stall at the rink side during the Wight Raiders versus Romford raiders match. The idea was to sell our lovley books and raise funds for the Wight Raiders. It was an exciting and noisy meeting and the raiders won. So did we and we are delighted to welcome Laura, who recruited Jamie both on the night. My intention had been to help Claire get her first recruit but we did better than that and got a recruit, who got a recruit – and both forms have been faxed in to the office ready for the FREE September starter kits to be sent out. Yes there are just a few days left to benefit from the FREE credit Crunch starter kit – where else can you get a business for nothing!!!!!
Claire also sold some books and she will be going back regularly to sell books and support the fundraising!
More fundraising on Sunday. We rented a stall at the Barton Manor open day which is held in order to support the fantastic work the Earl Mount Batten Hospice do for all their cancer patients.
It was a beautiful day – the weather was perfect and bands were playing all afternoon. The atmosphere was wonderful and Angela and I sold quite a lot of books. I am very grateful to Lawrence, Angela’s husband who very efficiently puts up the gazeebo for us. Where would we be without him!
We got another booking for next week and quite a lot of people who want to join our special offer e mailing list.
The Vectis Sunrise Rotary club were providing hot food and again supporfting the fundraising. I am a member but as i was unable to man the stand as I had my own stand there, I supported them by buying my lunch there!!
What a very pleasant weekend.
