When: Saturday 23rd October 2010
What Happened: So this was my second event where I had a stall selling my cakes. This was the 4th year of the event which was part of a series of events celebrating Black History Month. I arrived in good time to set up only to be told that I would be upstairs. Now I had assumed that all the stalls would be together in the hall downstairs as I wasn't told otherwise. If you're at an event that's on more than one floor and you are upstairs you are at an immediate disadvantage because a) not everybody can be bothered to go upstairs and b) not everyone is able to go upstairs because they may have a physical disability.
I wasn't happy nor were my fellow stall holders who were also upstairs with me and who were also not told that this is where they were going to be.
Nevertheless I got on with it. There was a steady trickle of people that came through. In the end I just covered the cost of my table. I was one of the lucky ones as some stall holders didn't sell anything, but that's the risk you take when you take a stall at an event. Once again the carrot cake was the most popular.
