have you ever oranised a Large Event

I have organised events in the past rosebug but not quite on the scale as you are doing, plus there were also more helpers involved. For me, initially it was daunting and for one particular Reunion there were those who were saying "it cannot be done" but we did it, and it turned out very successfully. I think that everyone was very tuned in to making the function a success, if only to silence the critics. LOL It took us 12 months from the initial meeting to the actual Reunion, and as I said we had many helpers. Each of the organising committee had a specific area of responsibility and I only had to co-ordinate and liaise as well as put out a newsletter every 2 months. We worked on the principle that if 10 people turned up we would have a fantastic time and the others would miss a wonderful chance. However in the end about 600 turned up and the Reunion was held over 3 days. That was the last big function I was involved in organising. I wish you every success for the Carols By Candlelight and after that you can relax till it is time for next year's. :)

I will be thinking of you on Wednesday rosebug for when you have your concert, which I am sure will be a wonderful success. All the very best to you, your team and those involved in the concert. :)

It should be hectic but interesting. I do organizing all the time but not for that much of a crowd. Maximum for about 150. Arranging functions in my Company is a part of my job. I know how these things turn out and how you feel. But i'm sure among the 9 of you'll, it will turn out nice. What I do is sit and make a list of every small activity that I have to look into. Then, start doing one by one. I make a format like, item, whom to call, contact details of that person, Remarks, cost and final ready date. Then its a bit easier. I wish you luck on 13th December and I'm sure it will be a heavenly experience to everybody who attends.

I am always organising small events from outings to street garage sales mothing to the extent of what you are doing but my dream in life is that one day to put on a country music concert, this will happen if I ever win a lot of money as I would like to be able to pay the artists well and yet make the tickets cheap enough for people to afford...oh well one can dream.

my last job, i was in HR. the company had never had any functions for the employees, so i started up a program. i planned a company picnic in the summer and began having an annual christmas party in december. there were approximately 300 employees at the organization, with roughly 250 or more attending the events. i originally started a commitee for the planning, but with schedule conflicts, it was easier to take the bulk of the responsibility on myself, with reliance on a few other individuals. i can relate to you, because it was very difficult with the full time job, a family and all the planning, but it was so worth it for me. the appreciation from the employees for actually thinking of them made all the headaches worth while. that and i love to do things like that. good luck

no.......
