You say "only 35" as if it is some sort of decrease, when it is an increase of five players on the last event.

I far as I'm aware this and the last event have been the only ones that have had a restricted places shown/ discussed.

As for me running an event, I would like to but
1. I have never run an event, so not entirley sure what is required
2. Access to props this being the issue as pointed out by our president to reuse where possible, being in the north east chasing down to where the props are every time I need to get things, would make the cost to me prohabtive
3. I dont have facilities or even space to make a lot of props.

now having said all that if people have ways round the above points great I,m listening
If somebody in the north wants help to run I,m interested
and as regard to sites up north I will have a look

Well Harrison, the other eight did not hand in their reports to research, as they appear to have turned up dead, but we are still not sure why

As James said, early on we nearly cancelled (two)? events due to low numbers. So our higher numbers are a blessing... and a curse

As far as running an event is concerned, the committee are putting together an organiser pack to help new organisers out with what you need to do. If you would like me to look for a site for you that is cool so long as you specify an area as the North is a big place, especially when you are as far down south as I am, but be aware that we are now booking January 2011 onwards so there is a little bit of a wait.

Props dont have to be complicated to be effective and can be as compact as you need. Many of the props in the caravan can be used as is so wouldn't need changing, just lugging up to the site and if folks are coming your way anyway hopefully someone is going to be able to bring the caravan for you.

Hopefully that will give you some things to consider. Let us know if you are definately up for it Smile

It's great to hear that an organisers pack is being put together. Go Exec!

I think it would also be useful to have a procedure for applying to run an event and clarity over how they are allocated. It would be very unfortunate if people became discouraged from running because of misunderstandings over the allocation process.

Agreed. At the moment from my perspective people let us know they want to run, for how many, site requirements and the area they want and I get on the phone and book it, then let them know the details and the budget for the event. It is on a first come first served system hence the long lead time on the next available running slot.

I know JD has the most involvement as he is dealing with the plot and in my opinion that is where the application needs to be placed really. If the organiser-to-be has a cracking idea then the plot coordinator should be the one give the initial thumbs up for whatever slot the organiser-to-be wants to take. From there it should go to site booking, although we are trying to book way ahead atm in order to get great prices and great sites, and are already lined up to book the site for September 2010 as soon as this one is over.

Ofc this needs more work lol, but is just my initial brain spew on the idea.
