Todays update! 25th October 2012

Welcome to another day at the PCG!

The other day on Facebook, member Anne from Artinkulate asked a question.
Girls/guys, I was just wondering what some of you think about the growing trend of asking stall holders to provide raffle prizes? We already pay our table fees & petrol expenses to & from the fairs. If,like me this is your only form of income, It's just another thing to eat into my takings, which at times don't even cover the table cost. I'm inclined to think it's a bit of a cheeky ask.What do some of you think?
Are other crafters finding that this happens alot? If so, what are your thoughts? 
As small crafters it is always hard to make ends meet and craft fairs charge a large amount for tables, plus the insurance, petrol to get there. Giving away stock for prize draws is just an extra cost isn't it.
Please leave us a comment to let us know how you feel about this and how you would respond to it.

We have another new member for you to meet.
