All done – we purchased

Can do online, but based on the costs we should go with Out of the Blue. Table for merchandise section.

Merchandise Report
Won’t have gear ready in time for Christmas
Passion sports is quite a bit more expensive for low volumes, and cheaper for high volumes. Out of the Blue is cheaper for the volumes we are likely to have. We will have to self-run the store with Out of the Blue.
Aidan will work with Colin about mocking up some items for the store.
Payments to come to castawaysmembership@gmail.com
Aidan to get price list from Colin and we will look at whether it makes sense to mark up to cover minimum purchase levels or not.
Logo: to make it 1 tone to save money
To send list to exec (Veronica) so that we can browse

Kids sell tickets really well – if a parent wants to come for an hour and sell that’s fine
Very short notice, which we knew – somebody backed out and it’s the Teddy Bear Toss which means potential to make $4-5k
