Knockhall Primary School Fete
We was very pleased to hear from Knockhall Primary School again after providing inflatables to their fun day last year. This time, they decided to focus more on the inflables as the main attraction, rather than a side event. We actually had to reschedule the event due to the extremely freak hot weather at the end of July before the 6 weeks summer holiday, but was very pleased to do so and felt that they had made the right decision (after-all, we want their event to be a success).
Despite previously having hired inflatables here, we wanted to perform another site visit as we was supplying so many more inflatables this time. We worked together and took decision together on how best to position and where to run cables, having checked the capacity they had available, the location of sockets etc. The time was well spent, making it much eaiser on the day to go in with a solid plan. Despite the event not starting until after school, we was unable to set-up before their lunch break as children use the field. Having a clear plan from the start allowed us to ensure we had set-up with spare time, rather than leaving things till the very end.
We took some contigency generators just in case there was any issue with power and stayed on site, not to supervise the children but to ensure there wasn't any issues with power and provide some reassurance that they had experts to hand. The location was on the very furthest of our delivery area and we didn't want anything to happen and it take us too long to arrive, being present turned out to be unnecessary, but it did allow us to see how much everyone enjoyed the day and take some pretty cool photos and videos...
We always leave before the gates open and after when everyone has finished. This allowed us to see first hand at a school fete just exactly the sort of numbers and attendance they can expect. The fete was attended by nearly the entire school and was a roaring success, with the PTA being prasied by the head of the sachool as well as the mayor!
You can see the videos and photos below of the set-up before the gates opened and how popular it was even towards the very end of the session when it was at it's least busy period!
Inflatable fun days are always the main attraction, drawing in the numbers and raising money while having a great day!
