Accy Carnival now on!

maccawozzagod · 11-05-2007, 16:36

The Ultras and the OSC will be collaberating once again on this years Carnival.

KSH has kindly arranged a wagon for us and the Ultras will be kitting this out in an array of red and white finery. Incidentally, there is a prize, for the best decorated float, of £200 to donate to a charity of your choice. Eligibilty for the award comes through sticking to the theme of this years Carnival, which is 'serving the community'

If anybody has any ideas of how to bring this theme to life then please PM me and we'll make a surge for the title! We are stuck for ideas on how this theme can tie in with Stanley so any idea is better than what we have. Stick it on a PM rather than discussing it on here as we dont earwiggers nicking our ideas and beating us to the punch.

The OSC will be running the stall on the field as per usual and we will need people to help us out with this. It is hoped that the badges and membership cards will be available by then (hoping to order them on tuesday after OSC pass the designs - thanks SamF) so we will be recruiting as well as selling from the new range of OSC merchandise as well as products from the existing club Official range. The main premise from my perspective though is about just being out there in the public eye and reminding people that Stanley are top dog in this town. Please wear your red and whitery on this day and feel free to stop and chat with us. Hopefully we will have some form of Gazebo up so there should be a bit of respite from whatever elements we are subjected to on the day.

And any help will be gladly accepted for either the float or the stall.

serving the community - get people different ages different backgrounds playing table football and everyone cheering everyone on - make sure theyve all got accy stanley shirt on - serving the community football what else do you need?

Hey its only an idea and its bringing the footie aspect out.

Not being terribly interested in football, don't usually bother to read these threads, but the Carnival heading attracted me.

Can you tell me what Ultras are and OSC so can put my thinking cap on ?

Seems a difficult theme to me 'Serving the Community', can you expand at all ? ..

the OSC is the official supporters club and the ultras is a group of die hard fans who try to publicise the football club... and are also very vocal at matches

Do either OSC or the Ultras want to get involved at the Mela as well?

It's on 29th July this year.

maccawozzagod · 11-05-2007, 19:39

Mela will be a definite goer Gayle, will speak to you about it a bit more next month. Unless I need to book now to ensure space?

Lets get that Gazebo ordered pronto and painted up!!

I'll send you a form soon but I've booked you in. It'll be a good opportunity to promote the new diversity panel.

maccawozzagod · 11-05-2007, 20:12

and shift some of our new promo gear

thanks Gayle, I dont know much about the Mela and what it is/stands for etc but as soon as we get the product ordering/embroidery/screen printing/engraving outta the way I'll have a chat with you about it.

Hopefully we are ordering one of those party tent type thingies soon so we will have an 'indoor' premise from which to promote things.

We're hopefully getting involved with the Barrowford show this summer as well. I'll speak with Rob about getting some players involved if possible

The mela is about getting the whole community out to enjoy music, crafts and general fun together. Because of its nature it attracts a 50/50 audience of asian and white so it's a great chance for the diversity thing to be publicised. If you're selling we might have to charge a nominal fee for the space but I'll speak to you about that privately.
