I can understand if neither party could organise a shop to be present on the day, but I think that this could have been mentioned before hand.
I had about 6 people ask me today while I was there for micro bits, and I had to tell them that "yes I'm a shop, but I'm not the shop today, so I only brought my own stuff". Unless I'm asked, I will only be taking my own stuff, and if I we're to be asked, I'd need enough notice to get sufficient stock in, as would anyone.

Hi Sarah,
If you felt awkward bringing this up then an e-mail to myself or Cris or any other of the committee members may have been better than posting on a public forum. However, I will now answer your query.
You are right in what you say that the Host Club or Committee should provide a shop for the day. From the Host Club point of view we were unable to provide a model shop due to local shops not being stocked high in Micro bits (I may be wrong in saying this and if any local shop would be interested in supporting Broughton in the future please let me know). The committee were also unable to provide a shop due to the distance to travel (as previously mentioned a discussion for another day)
I should have put 2 and 2 together once you booked in and asked if you would provide bits on the day and for this I appologise. Next time I will have another shop to ask
All in all those people who needed bits and bobs as the day went on were happy with the way the rest of the pits chipped in and helped each other.
Not to many unhappy people from yesterday, let's not try to put any negative spin on what turned out to be a fantastic day
