Planet Angel - Live an Ordinary Life in an Extraordinary Way

Cor the last blog was the night before the May Party, wow that went quick…!! So what’s been happening? Well the week after the May Party was full of tying up the party stuff, accounts, paperwork etc and planning for me to be away for a week on my first holiday in several years, hooray! 

Pete was left to contend with the priority 1’s out of the fun filled contents of my email inbox and all Planet Angel productions stuff; we are pleased to report we now have 2 Planet Angel Productions in progress! [Production services for other organisations] This extra work is bringing in a bit of extra income and creating real opportunities for people, we’re really really pleased about this and hope to secure a few more of these this year.

I was back from my holiday refreshed and ready to rock this Monday… the first thing we did was sit down to plan the finer points for the next Party, our SIXTH BIRTHDAY!!!  Can you believe it?  I can’t, that’s amazing!  Having thrown ideas around we got onto booking all the artists, confirming live acts and writing the mailshot… this always takes a couple of days as we try to give it a new angle each time (which is hard when you run a monthly party)… if you guys ever have ideas for mailshot content we’d love to hear them.  We reckon we’ve pulled together a really top birthday line-up and mailshot! 

I’ve almost finished confirming everyone who’s Crew, Artists or Volunteer for this month… thankfully this month I’m ahead not behind, and hope to tie most of it up on Monday so we can get on with the fun birthday stuff like sweets and treasure hunt prizes etc.

Pete & Mick have been down at Hidden installing the permanent decor in their garden terrace, while I’ve been clearing my email inbox, post, messages, desk etc of all the ‘incoming’ that collected while I was away… we don’t arf get a lot of ‘incoming’!!!

I sent off the quarterly VAT return last week, for an organisation like us who pays VAT on every sale but claims on less than a quarter of purchases it’s frankly a painful sum to have to send off hey, what can ya do. We’re almost driven to put a big sign at the door saying “Planet Angel only charges £12.77!! The rest goes to the VAT boys”. Bah.

Oh and we checked out a potential *Chilled* venue cleverly noticed & scouted out by Ali, which looks really cool… it has pros and cons which we’re weighing up at the moment… we have to get on with the Party now and then we’ve got a few days off so have booked in a meeting for as soon as we’re back to make a decision… we’ll keep you posted – nice one Ali you’re a star..

So, here we go… our sixth birthday celebration… C U THERE!
