Potato Day

[snuffer]

Wasn't sure where to post this but thought General Chitchat would be alright.

We are a small group running 'The Old Schoolroom Edingley' as a village hall. We would very much like to hold a potato day next year. The nearest one I've found to this area is in Chesterfield.

Does anyone out there on 'The Grapevine' know how one would go about it?

How do you get hold of suppliers who might want to stand at such an event?

Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks veggiechicken that's a start. What's really bothering me is contacting suppliers.

Do we buy a load of potatoes and hope to sell them all or do we invite supplier / suppliers along to sell their wares?

I don't think there'll be any problem getting people to attend the event, it's just getting something (including some of the more unusual varieties) for them to see and buy.

Snadger, have a look at this site JBA Seed Potatoes

That is Tattieman from the thread VC linked. I'm sure he would be happy to help you with advice.
