Feedback please!!
We are having our debrief meeting on Thursday night and would love some feedback please.
Based on last years feedback we were told that people didn't know the children's entertainment was free - how did we do this year??
Did you like the children's entertainment in the playground??
Signage and maps was another thing people commented on, did you feel this was better??
Toilets - we had more this year than last year..
We added to the programme and had this displayed and advertised - did you see it??
Fashion parade from RB Sellars, pictured did you know it was on??
New this year was the Vast sign at the Showgrounds did you see it??
Parking we added a courtesy van to and from the domain did you see this or use it??
We added a second chance draw by way of a QR code as we had feedback from people that hadn't known to cut out the coupon in the Talking Point and Courier, did you see this??
Any feedback is good feedback delivered correctly so please be kind with your words as we are all volunteers working to bring the day together for you all to enjoy.

Was a fantastic day thank you too all the volunteers always a fun day at Get to the Point weather was great ❤️

Didn't know that the childrens rides were free. I was opposite the childrens rides but didn't do many sales a little disappointed that we weren't introduced over the air like last year. Toilet facilities were excellent. Needs more promotion that the stalls are down the side road earlier than they were. Needs more signage to let people know that the rides are free and where they are. It needs more promotion where the stalls and the rides are when they're down a side road.

I thought it was awesome. Great team
