Hi guys,
So, finally, I have had a chance to review the calendar and create a poll for everyone to share their preferred dates and areas of support they’d prefer for the mingle event.
As soon as I receive everyone’s preferences, we can confirm the official dates and pin them down in our calendars.
Points to note:
Test Run - I have pinned two dates for this side of summer, which we may or may not have enough time to plan for, but it could also be a good op to do a test run.
Main Autumn Event - The remaining dates are scheduled for after the holidays, with a possible view to hosting this event every other month, if we want.
Ticketing Fee - To start with, I believe that a minimum fee of at least £5 should be payable for a ticket, especially in the early days, to manage attendance. The money can be reinvested in future events. If they become more popular and a stable situation is achieved, we can discuss how it may work in the future for all of us involved, ensuring we are all happy.
Whatever happens, we can chat about what is working for us all and what’s worth doing.
Above all, this should be an exciting opportunity for all of us, and the main reason is to create an event we would want to attend, ensuring that putting it together is also enjoyable for us.
Keep me posted about what you are thinking for this.
