Have they considered letting one of the mobile catering van operators park in the car park near the entrance? No staffing needed, nor cost to MRSI as the vendor makes their profit from sales. Then if there was one class room left free inside with a few seats, tables, and rubbish bins folks could eat in there. It might keep folk on site for longer. Just an idea.

Glenderg Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 To be fair, the last Raheny show had one of those converted Renault Coffee Van type things out front, so I'd stop stressing about that, or else rinse out the flask. I've heard good things about the Bray Wheelers, especially if you're looking for something "unique", and worthy of support. And Ed, that's a job bridge gig if I ever heard it. Firing up the Burko Boiler to make tay for the troops is hardly "Catering Manager" status.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might fly in a few days early and make that weekend if it's on. Would like to meet up with some of the members if possible Have they considered letting one of the mobile catering van operators park in the car park near the entrance?

Noelhttp://www.circuitcatering.ie/circuitcatering/Main/catering-units-new.htm http://www.thechipvan.ie Regardless of whether Noel is the always hungry sort or not, suggestions that might improve the overall experience at the MRSI are certainly not unhelpful. This encourages modelers and families to attend again in subsequent years, which helps safeguard the clubs finances when hosting these events (although I'm sure isn't the MRSI's first rodeo). Perhaps join the MRSI and become their catering manager. Im sure they would love to have someone so dedicated to a worthless cause!!

Firing up the Burko Boiler to make tay for the troops is hardly "Catering Manager" status.... In fairness the Wexford exhibition which is a much smaller event managed to have tea/coffee and excellent home made sandwiches on site. Folks at these events need somewhere to sit down and take a break, have a snack and chat to pals. This facilitates folks staying on site for longer visits, exposure to exhibits and trade stands. Nuff said before I get flamed, but it is easy to outsource to an independent mobile van operator who will make their own profit over the three days without any cost to the show organisers nor any need for staffing. Running for cover now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRENNEIRE Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 It all has to do with space Noel, all the available space has to be divided up among the various layouts and stallholders, indeed there is a small waiting list for people that we could not accommodate We pay a lot for the hall and need to make it wash its face before we can think about tea & coffee etc The Wexford show has an on site tea room with ample volunteers to run it, and I agree its great to sit down with a mug of tea and talk crap for a half hour or so before another few laps of the show This will be our first year running a "cafe" so we will be taking it slow and steady The layout of St Pauls has changed since we were there last so we need to see how this new layout works first, before we can decide on whether or not to continue with catering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northwest141 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 That was the problem in that dump no cups in the hotel bar { paper ones } i think it was a set up as the tight git from the northside had offered to buy me a coffee tried the restaurant no luck went to the bar only to be told sorry we have run out of cups T B H not great for a Hotel but hey if it was on the Northside , probably would have got a china cup and some choclate cake for 2 euro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
