Bridle Party

22/07/2024

Hi!
Sorry for being so quiet. I wiped myself out a bit, and also had a lot of stuff to catch up on that had gone on the back burner.
I placed the final merch order last week, and once that's processed we should have a final fundraising figure.
Then all that's left to do, I think, is put together some sort of record of the day.
With that in mind, if you have any photos or footage of the day... bands, audience, a good looking bowl of chilli.... please send them to me, or share to the page.
Particularly stuff from the latter half of the event, I haven't got anything of Swamp Dogs or Dirty Vertebrae at the moment.
Ta!

Hi all!
We're hoping to have some final fundraising facts and figures at some point towards the end of July. So while funds come in and bills get paid, I figured I'd try and clear a little bit of an overstock.
Aside from the beers that are available via either Four Priests Brewery or The Beer Emporium, Sandbach, we have some insulated can holders and pin badges left.
I will also be placing the last ever order for tees and hoodies. Front print only tees, and double sided hoodies will be available to order until the 8th of July. After that I'll close the books and start doing maths.

I figured perhaps some bundles might be an idea, so:

Buy a single sided t shirt for £20, get a stubby holder and a pin badge for £4.
Buy a single sided t shirt and a hoodie, get a free stubby holder.

If you've previously placed an order that qualifies you for either of the above, let me know and I'll sort you out

I've had to delete the last post about beer sales cos it resulted in a spam tsunami, including 15 messages from such marketing luminaries as Lovelord Mediax, offering advice on how I can turbocharge my website, ramp up conversions and ignite explosive revenue growth.
So, I'll try again with a different link. If you're after cans of Ginger Beer'd or HA!, they're available through the Four Priests site:

Four Priests Brewery Ltd

As well as cans from Four Priests Brewery , we'll soon have a few on the shelves at The Beer Emporium, Sandbach , and we currently have Ginger Beer'd on cask

Brewed by friends for the big man himself. It really is a hit of ginger!

Well I think I've recouped, but I seem to have been hit with a lurgy.
Hope you all enjoyed yourselves, thanks for coming, I'll be balancing the books and gathering photos from the day over the next week or so

If you've pre-ordered some merch, and as such qualify for a free bowl of chilli, here's how that goes down:
1. Identify yourself at the merch stand on arrival (ideally in your tee).
2. We will tick you off the list and issue you with a chitty.
3. When the food is dished up (around 5.30), swap your chitty for a bowl of chilli.

If you've got merch waiting to collect at The Emp, I'll be taking it away at the end of my shift tonight unless you tell me otherwise.
I'm not in again til after the weekend and I'd rather have it with me so you have the option of collecting on the day.
Plus... have you seen the size of our office/kitchen/washroom? I can't be storing tees in there long term, there'll be ructions!

As it has transpired that the term is not as widely recognised as I had believed, here is a definition. The reason for this will become clear later

Last minute thought - if you're planning on wearing your Bridle Party merch on the day, you'll probably want to give it a wash first. The fixative that is used on the ink means that fresh out of the bag there's something of a vinegar whiff about the garments, but that's gone after a quick spin.
I've got visions of the Bear smelling like a chippy!
Cheers
See you Saturday!
