I know what you're saying Katei but about the Arndale stall, it had been known by the club for a while that the space in the Arndale was available to them each Monday foc, at a meeting the ASSF had with Dan & Martin on 4th August, Dan mentioned they had been made the offer and that they wanted it to be a 'presence in the town', mainly to promote the Goldbond draw & sell official merchandise but they were struggling to man it. I offered to help out as at the time Monday was my day off work, Dan said he would be in touch when they needed me.
The next I heard was a month later at the SOS forum on 4th September - we ran it for the first time on Monday 7th, by then it had been turned into the sos stall.
So , although you're right in that as an sos fundraiser it was thrown together quickly - they had had time to plan something properly.
