A Tale of Hard Graft, a Possible Marketing First….and some Froggery !



“So what`s new” I hear you exclaim rudely, “it`s just another Help the Hatters Monday at Edgeley Park !”
And you are of course correct, and a decent number turned out this morning to clear the litter left from Saturday`s game with Woking.

An early start by, John W , Dot, Malcolm, Broderick, Kevin, Alan, and some bloke in a daft hat helped it zing along nicely ,and with over a dozen ultimately working, it was all cleared by 10.45.
Some of the `early birds` shunning publicity !





 At this point let me point out that the litter bags stationed twixt Upper and Lower Tiers of the Cheadle End were pretty full, so I must complement supporters for responding to our appeals- IT IS APPRECIATED-THANK YOU !

Back to the Museum then for a brew and a biscuit, and it all went well until that bloke in the daft hat , who was in charge of dispensing the drinks, managed to  not know whether he had put coffee or tea in one cup “ the pressure “ he said but……………….

It soon became apparent that both beverages had been dispensed into a fairly large `man sized` cup, but Ray showed he is a brave lad as well as one of the hardest grafters about by volunteering to “ drink it anyway”
Fantastic ………..we thought, there`s a potential window here for a bit of entrepreneurial  wizardry, as Ray gave us the thumbs up after a sip or two of the seriously odd brown beverage, thoughts of marketing it as `Cofftea` or `Teaco` filled our heads.



Then just 2 minutes later…calamity….marketing campaign kaput…….






Thankfully Ray was soon back to normal chatting to Anne, as thoughts turned  to `Froggery`.




You will know Help the Hatters, with considerable help from a third party, to whom we are grateful, ensured that the County Frog found a home- Edgeley Park.







After a discussion it was confirmed that there will be a short ceremony at 2.30 inside Edgeley Park, before Saturday`s game with Dag & Red to welcome the County Frog to its permanent home twixt Cheadle End and the turnstiles. Local artist Douglas Hutton and Mrs Hutton , we are pleased to say are invited , so there is something good to look forward too ,along with the game, on Saturday!
 
Finally……….. Help the Hatters are to hold a business meeting on Wednesday 13 November ( 7pm for7.15) in the County Museum, please join us and maybe get involved if you are not already. 

Help the Hatters ( Doers, not talkers !)
