* to make sure those that those that have asked for a partiulcar day or time are accommodated as much as possible
Other than that, it is a breeze!!!!
We then notify all the speakers of their day and time and make any amendments this produces. At this point we can then create the 32 page brochure, check, re-check and check it again. Taking a very deep breath and crossing our fingers, toes and everything else crossable, that there are no errors, off it goes to the printer. For the earlier show, this was a total of 72 hours.
Next on the agenda is producing the templates for all the tickets and setting in motion the ticket booking system so it is all ready to go when the brochures are distributed, which starts with the weekend of the Elsecar show.
In the meantime of course, we still have the Grimsby show, the new Stoke Mandeville show and the popular and busy Elsecar show to get together.
This week's challenge is to try and reduce the price of table and chair hire for Stoke Mandeville from the £2k quoted by our usual supplier, finalise the floor plan and get it to Grimsby, place the local advertising for Stoke Mandeville and Elsecar, the national ads already having been placed, buy the prize draw crystal for Elsecar, and do the prize draw cards for the printer for SM and Elsecar and a meeting at Lincoln about advertising boards!
Ummm, where is the 72 hours that the Manchester show guide needs I ask myself? I see quite a bit of midnight oil burning in my immediate future!
We also take countless phone calls and answer dozens of e-mails daily, so please do bear with us if it takes a day or two to get back to you on any point.
Never let it be said we don't enjoy a challenge! Chris says I thrive on it - I suppose I do - if I am honest, I know I do!
Hope to see you all at one of these forthcoming shows - makes it all worthwhile to know people are having a great day at one of these events!
