Hello
I would like to let you know about an exciting opportunity to promote your work at a unique Craft Fair in Dorking on the weekend of 28 and 29 July 2012.
As part of the London 2012 Olympics, the cycling road race passes through Dorking on 28 and 29 July. Official estimates predict over 20,000 visitors to the town at that time.
Dorking Halls is on the route of the road race and is planning to make use of this unique opportunity to arrange a Craft Fair showcasing some of the best contemporary craftspeople. To make this event as accessible as possible we will not be charging any admission for visitors.
The road race brings with it some logistical issues, in that the road past the venue will be closed for much of Saturday 28 and Sunday 29th. Stall holders will set up on Friday 27 July and can dismantle either on Sunday evening or on the Monday morning. Overnight security will be provided each night so stall can be left set up for the duration. More information is on the attached sheet.
I have attached an Application Form and some information for your consideration. If you are interested in taking a stand, you will need to return the Application Form to me by 20th April. After that there will be a selection process and we will then contact you to let you know if we can offer you a space and ask you to complete an Acceptance Form.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, though I am on leave from 12-16 March. If you need to speak to someone before then you can call Stuart Cole on (01306) 879314.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Yours sincerely,
Keith Garrow,
General Manager,
Dorking Halls.

Here at Made By Ore HQ there has been a lot going on...
We have been busy preparing for our Easter Master Classes Programme – we still have some places left, and you can now book them directly from our website! www.madebyore.com a href="http://www.madebyore.com/">http://www.madebyore.com> Also Due to a high demand we have added a 1 Day Soldering Master Class. Please find attached to this email a poster with all the Master Class details: -
I just wanted to let you know that we're offering a 25% discount on our Made By Ore Master Classes to all Full Time students, to make them a bit more affordable. If you could pass this on to your students and anyone else you think might be interested that'd be great! We've also added a little 1 Day Soldering Masterclass, which might be of interest to all your jewellers, silversmiths and metalwork students. I've attached a flyer/poster to this email, which you can forward straight on.
We are also offering "Hot Benches" to students/jewellers and silversmiths, which can be rented for just £15/day, so if any of your students need a space to work over the Easter/Summer Hols or after graduation then we'd be more than happy to accommodate them! I've attached a poster for this too. http://www.madebyore.com/Easter-Master-Classes(2673270).htm
