I worked today (technically yesterday) with the lovely ladies at The Marvellous Tea Dance Company. It was so much fun! I got to wear an apron (don't laugh, it was very much an adorable apron), run the tombola and sell bingo tickets - everyone there, even the customers were really, really lovely.
I absolutely loved the way the Hifi Club was kitted out for the event. There was bunting hanging from the rafters, lacy pink and blue table cloths with crocheted doilies and tea cosies galore! It took me back to my days of waitressing at Brodricks Cafe in the Corn Exchange when I was 17 (until they sacked me for dying my hair magenta - it was the Corn Exchange!! All the customers had pink hair - what a right-wing twat!).
I think everyone there had a great time. All the tables were full at one point!
I do hope they ask me to help out again if they're short staffed. I learn a lot about how an event business is run. I liked how everything had it's own little box ready to be packed away again for the next event. It made me think about preparation and "an event kit"
I'm going to have a think about making my own "event kits" for the PGL exhibition and other events. Also about what I need to get ready for TMTDCo at the PGL opening night.
Lots of lists.
