Annual Sale

A eommittee has been formed to set the wheels in motion for
the Fotters Guild's 18th Annual sale. This will bea

3-day sale, November 29, 30 and December 1 (mark your
calendars now), to be held at Robson Square Media Centre.

As you all well know, competition is keen and the public is
becoming increasingly knowledgeable about pottery. The
pots we sell speak for the Potters Guild of H.C., 30 we
must keep standards up so we can make a strong positive
statement for the Guild and be proud of our image.

In the past we have been lucky enough to have the Media
Centre space cost-free, but with the economic climate as it
is, we are faced with being charged 10% of our gross for
rent this year by Robson Square. Because of this we are
forced to ask 35% commission, (25% to the Guild, 10% to
Robson Square). Do keep in mind this is our one big yearly
money-maker on which to run the Guild for the next year.

To make the sale ‘work! we need volunteers and lots of then.
No help, no sale -- it's as easy as that! If we have the
co-operation we had at "Cooking with Clay" last year, we'll
have no problems. Volunteer time required from participating
potters will be at least four hours, plus time from everyone
to help Publicity "get the word around" (distributing posters,
etc). We will have sign-up sheets at the September 19th
General Meeting, and to help us with our hasic planning so

as not to leave too much to the end (committee members are
potters too!), the sooner we get our lists filled up the
better. If you miss the meeting, you can volunteer by
