EVENTS This is another thing that you will almost certainly encounter. We have been changing our procedures so we make this as easy as possible for you all. Again, you will have to take certain factors in to consideration: When would you like to book an event? How many people will be in attendance? Where you want to hold the event (some societies/clubs/volunteering projects use external premises such as hotels for Christmas dinners etc. and ask the students’ union to facilitate ticket sales etc.) Can I sell tickets? If so, how do I do this? Can I sell food? Where can I do this? How do I book an event? Will we need transport? Do we have enough money? How does it all work? Can I advertise? Can I have an external speaker? Ok, let’s start with the basics. How does it all work? Well, if you have a corker of an idea for an event, you will need to agree with your committee on several dates (it’s always handy to have a few options open to you), and decide who’s going to do what and with who (don’t allocate things to just one person just in case ). There’s nothing worse than having to organise an event by yourself so having a good team behind you and allocation of tasks and a feasible timeline is essential to your event working successfully! Involve your members too as some of them may have great organisation and communication skills, or are simply good at getting things done! Rather conveniently, we have created an events planner just for you so you don’t have to, and it can be found here: https://www.undebbangor.com/society-resources
