<p>For all the people who contributed to this discussion back in February.... do have a look at the Event the BPCA has just posted, inviting those who are keen to take an active part in planning and making things happen at the Finsbury Festival in July 2015. There's a meeting organised for Wednesday 15th April and we'd love to see lots of enthusiastic volunteers there!</p>

<p>Hi - thanks so much for all your responses. There was a We Love Myddleton Road meeting last night; as per Kari's reply, there does seem to be a lot planned over the summer, and we all agreed that it would make sense for us to coordinate and focus our efforts on the June/July market rather than doing something separate. I think Toby is going to communicate with those organising the market to discuss further.</p>

<p>It's always possible to get non-St John's first aiders so don't let that stop you. PG Festival trained their own volunteer pool, Bromfield Blues uses ad hoc local qualified individuals. Nil cost too which carries advantages.</p>

The festival always tried to make the focus on children's free or very cheap entertainments and workshops so all parts of the community would feel included. It seemed to work and I would be sad if this focus changed as it provided a really good afternoon our for many local children and their families who were unlikely to get holidays or extra fun over the summer. I would suggest a committee needs to sit down together and sort out the nitty gritty. From experience the most difficult thing to get in place is the First Aid as they get very booked up and without that nothing can happen. You also need to get permission from Haringey and that also take a long time. They impose rules and regs which have to be heeded as it is a public space. We did not have stalls or people using the Festival as a focus for marketing their businesses as we felt there were many other outlets and we wished to keep it as non- commercial as possible. This of course might not be how people want to continue.</p> Kate, a suggestion has been p…tag:bowesandbounds.org,2015-02-24:6278630:Comment:908252015-02-24T14:23:18.039ZKari Kooninhttps://bowesandbounds.org/profile/KariKoonin
<p>Kate, a suggestion has been put forward by a BPCA subcommittee that it would be great to make this year's Fins Fest a village fete style event, perhaps with a cake baking contest or a dog show (apparently this can work even in a small space and can be hilarious to watch), and some traditional side show stalls. This would really emphasise the village atmosphere of Bowes Park.</p>
