Forest Hill Fashion Week 2016

Hi All

i’ve now set the dates for Forest Hill Fashion Week 2016!

Thursday 22nd - Sunday 25th September.

This is a programme of free events for the community run by local volunteers.

I’m pleased to say we have funding secured from FH assembly funding which will cover the costs of PLI, marquee set up & brochure printing.

I can work with this - so we’re off

First core team meeting is tomorrow evening, here we are

http://fhfw.co.uk/fhfw-2015-team/

In the past I only coordinated the kids events, but took on the full event last year as no one else was prepared to due to lack of funding - I think it was a great success & we done this with less funding than any previous year, and we have more this year than last, hence bringing back the brochure.

If anyone would like to offer their skills I’d love to hear from you via here or by emailing fhfw.co.uk

Got most covered, but another pair of hands working on & updating the website would be most helpful.

Thanks

Pauline

Hi All

I’ve started working on the prep for FHFW 2016.

All local input is very welcome, so please feel free to comment or suggest extra events.

The dates are Thursday 22nd till Sunday 25th September this year.

If anyone wants to add an event, workshop, discount or promotion that ties in please let me know so it can be added to the brochure.

I’ll confirm the preferred venues this week.

We’re advertising it as “Forest Hill Arts” presents “Forest Hill Fashion Week” this year as myself & Emma are in the process of setting up FH Arts & Donald will be involved in this too. We’ll keep everyone in the loop with FH Arts events & progress FYI & also incase anyone wants to be involved in any way.

Here’s my part email to my core team that might be of interest & all are welcome to ge involved in any way if they want too, this is a FREE community event for all

Thanks

Pauline

Website & Social Media

• Website - I’ve spoke to Sol (web developer) & he’ll take on the running of the website as Sareta has got a new job which means she’s mega busy, but she’ll still be in the loop. Sareta I’ll send an email to both you & Sol tomorrow to arrange a suitable time to share passwords etc
• Facebook - Pauline & Em to carry on with this
• Twitter - Pauline, Em & Zoe to take on this
• Instagram - I’ll set up a new one & share passwords with Em & Zoe to share doing this. John let me know if you want to share doing this too, so you can get pics out straight away

Manisha, are you okay playing the slot I have put in for you, also goes without saying you’re more than welcome to have a stall at both the catwalk show & the clothes & craft fair & be one of the designers in the catwalk show.

Benjamin Mathews (local estate agent) is happy to do a brochure drop to 10,000 homes in FH so it will be advertised well locally, we’ll add him as a sponsor for this.

If anyone thinks anything needs changing or added please let me know ASAP.

Cheers

A little birdie tells me we might get an interview on BBC London Radio again this year @AndyS think you liked that before

I know I get quite excited about FH stuff but feel free to tell me to shut up

Eh??? Think you’ve confused me with some other Andy who actually knows something about fashion, @Pauline !!!

Thought it was you that commented on another forum about it last year - must have been someone else

Well, possibly I said “Well done, Pauline!” or some such, but more out of congratulations than actual, you know, interest in fashion. If you’d ever seen me you’d know my interest in fashion is approximately zero, give or take

Hahaha, I have no interest on fashion either. Just like doing the free events if I’m honest

Would love to have a catch up with you, you always gave me good advice elsewhere when I overstepped the mark.

Name the date & I’ll be sure to make it if you can

P xx

The FHFW Press Release is doing the rounds at the moment, if anyone has any direct or indirect contacts that this might be of interest too please let me know

PM’d you ‘elsewhere’, @Pauline.

Just PM’d you on here Andy

Yes, absolutely agree. Happy for positive non-verified contributors to be made trust-level-2 as you see fit

Cheers Chris, and thanks for the edit lol

Sounds good to me.

Just created more events on the #FHFW Facebook page!

Another lovely blog for #FHFW

Keep em coming guys!

If anyone wants the press release sent to share please let me know

The more the merrier

Can you share the FH Soc newsletter @Michael with the #FHFW mention please

Hi Pauline, hope you are well. Please let us know if we can help you in any way. Also we did not have time to discuss during our launch party so if you are free at some point during the coming weeks, please let me know so we can arrange to meet up. You can contact me at: mylene@railwaytelegraph.co.uk Have a great day!

Happy to hook up anytime but I am crazy busy with #FHFW at the mo #RehearsalsGalore

Then the library!

I’m a busy bee, but can probably do from Sun 25th till the following Sunday…

If you want to put an event on during #FHFW let me know and I can add it to the website www.fhfw,co.uk 22-25 Sept 16

TUT shamelessly pushing this!

Hope all can come

4 days to go!

Share the #FHFW love everyone if you,re on social media please

Let’s get FH buzzing during this

Hi Pauline, it does sound like a busy few weeks for you. How about Tuesday 27th? Let me know a good time for you and we’ll arrange for a couple of drinks and nibbles. Re. #FHFW it might be a bit late to create a new event but let us know if you need anything in particular for one of your events and we’ll be happy to help you.

Hi Mylene, I could do Tuesday 27th around 7pm if that suits?

Some of the traders are donating party food, cakes or drinks for the kids Charlie & the Chocolate Factory Party during FHFW, if you wanted to donate something that would be fab.

Would be good to meet up to get you involved with FH Traders Events & meetings, there’s a couple of events coming up but I’ve not finalised the traders side of them yet.

Halloween - We will be having “Lantern Making Workshops” for the kids during the half term & probably “Pumpkin Carving Workshop” at FH Library on Halloween, any trader can add an extra event to coincide with this or host an event we are doing already. Also I had a meeting last week with Sydenham Arts as they have some funding allocated to them to create a Halloween event to join FH, Sydenham & Kirkdale together after their individual events on Halloween.

We’ll also be doing a “Fiver Fest” the weekend The FH Society turn on the Christmas Tree Lights (Sun 4th Dec) - I can explain how this works when I see you

Hi Pauline, I am not here this weekend but I’ll get someone from the team to bring something for the party. Should we bring it directly to the V22 Louise House at 1pm or earlier?

For the rest, we can discuss on Tuesday at 7pm

Thank you, if you could drop off around 12ish that would be great

See you soon xx

FHFW is not just about fashion, it’s a whole lot more than that!

Donald has been working with disadvantaged groups running up to FHFW, he’s been working with people with mental health issues, disability, and people in recovery.

ETA The Pavement2Catwalk Workshop will be this Thursday 22nd Sept @V22_Louise_House 4-8pm so come along and get creative.

The P2C Catwalk Show will be the finale of the main Catwalk Show which is 2pm this Saturday 24th Sept @V22_Louise_House

And don’t forget to pop next door for the Clothes & Craft Fair with @Rebecca_Jane_Hunter

Here’s a blog by Blenheim ReAL in Catford…

Perfect! I’ll get someone from the team to drop it off at 12pm on Sunday. Have a good week and see you on Tuesday next week xx

Hi Pauline, hope you are well. Just checking in to see if you are still available tonight around 7pm to pop in?

Hi Mylene, I’ve come down with a bug so won’t be able to make it tonight, but I’ll add you to the traders Google group today as I’ll be emailing the group later about our next traders meeting which is on 5th October at All Inn One 6.30pm if you can make it - also let me know what evening’s you are working between 6-8pm & I’ll let you know when I can pop by.

Halloween events will be on the agenda aswell as other stuff, all info will be in the email I send tonight.

What’s the best email address for you to add to the group? - you’ll get an invite to the FHTA group so look out for it and accept to start receiving the group emails

Friendly nudge: could you keep one-on-one conversation to private messages please folks?
