Llandrindod May Fair - boost local volunteering, Pavilion, 6th May


Llandrindod  organisations, clubs, businesses,and shops have been delighted to discover  that they can exhibit  and advertise free of charge in the Llandrindod May Fair 2013 on Bank Holiday Monday May 6th in the Pavilion from 11am to 4 pm. 

The May Fair is a new event on the Llandrindod calendar, a community celebration of LOCAL Llandrindod, hosted by the Llandrindod transition town group and supported by the  Llandrindod Wells Town Council.  Di Greaves, spokes-person for the May Fair organising committee explained:

"The May Fair is going to be a fun day out for all the family, a festival celebrating everything that is good about LOCAL life in Llandrindod. There are going to be competitions, tasters, displays, talks, local food and drink, demonstrations, family fun, entertainments and  live music, all celebrating and promoting  local produce, crafts, talent, skills, clubs, trades, businesses & good causes. Amongst  the  delights on offer at the Pavilion will be our Kino pop-up  cinema,  Makers & Growers Market, Spa Health & Fitness Zone, Upcycling Hub, and much more. We can also promise  it will be the start of some really exciting new ideas about volunteering and grass-roots action in the town, as well as getting everyone together  to have a good time.

"We're very pleased to be able to offer 6' exhibition stalls to  local clubs,  community groups and  businesses for recruitment, promotion, fundraising and sales.  These are offered at no charge in exchange for a contribution to the fun and interest of the May Fair, which could be a talk, competition,  family activity, or a demonstration. We've had some brilliant ideas coming in, but if you're stuck we'll help you think of something. There are also free of charge  
3' tables in the Makers & Growers Market  for any  local people who would like to  sell their hand made crafts or home grown produce, just  in return for a donation of a item of their produce or craft  for our May Fair competitions. 

"We're offering completely FREE advertising to all local businesses, shops and trades people, inviting them  to send us their own video adverts to be screened in the KINO between films, then to go on to the website  promoting Llandrindod business. We'd encourage everyone to have a go at this - there will be no charge, and if you don't have the technical know-how, why not ask around family and friends? there  is sure to be someone you know who is a budding film maker with a digital camera or smart phone.

"There is also going to be a big push on promoting the SHOP LOCAL message,  and again a free opportunity to advertise with your fliers and business cards.

" However we do urge anyone who would like to take part, sell, promote, advertise etc to  fill in a booking form THIS WEEK, without delay  - exhibition stalls in particular  are going fast - you can download  the invitation and booking form from our website www.tinyurl.com/mayfair2013-docs

" Any queries please contact the committee by email mayfair@transitionllandrindod.org.uk  or phone 01597 825448 (evenings & weekends) and for  all the latest news see our facebook event www.tinyurl.com/FB-mayfair2013
 
"we look forward to hearing from you, and celebrating LOCAL Llandrindod with you."
