Map pinning and coffee kits.

The R.S.V.P deadline has passed, and I've decided to go-ahead with a Macmillan Coffee Morning!
Enough family, friends and residents expressed interest in coming, so there was only going to be one decision..

I headed to the Macmillan Coffee Morning website to official register the fundraiser and pick-up a coffee morning 'starter kit'. Both are free. The kit is packed-full of fun and practical useful items to help you have a successful day.

Coffee Morning Kit
So what's inside the kit?
- A guide to a great coffee morning
- Cake flags and cards
- Table cover and balloons
- Money box
- Gift aid forms
- Two competitions
- Showstopper recipe's  

The kit arrived 3/4 days after registering and comes in a sturdy folder. Now been packed away until Coffee Morning day!

You can opt to shout even louder about your event through Macmillan's online coffee morning mapping serviceIt is recommended this is done as early as possible. Visitors to the site can put in their postcode, and coffee morning's most local to that postcode will show-up. You can even add clues as to what your coffee morning will entail, a good way of enticing more people in. Personally, I was a bit worried about letting the world know about the event, opening up the chance for millions to descend on our house for coffee and cake! But let's be realistic, I'm only expecting a few more visitors through the service, and went ahead and pinned-on our coffee morning! Can you find it..?

Next step, raffle prizes! You'll see how I've been getting on in next weeks blog..
