Anyone responsible for organizing a voluntary or public event will want
to do it safely and well, complying with the legislation relating to
different aspects of their event. This book will help you to research,
plan, organize, manage and deliver any event, match, show, tournament or
function that will be attended by more than a handful of people.
You may be running a gymkhana, fete, fun run, steam fayre, half
marathon, carnival, school sports day, jumble sale, tennis tournament,
car boot sale, model aircraft show or even a huge pop festival or
Formula 1 car race. Whatever it is, the principles are the same. As
event manager you will need to research, plan, liaise with authorities,
obtain permissions and licences, comply with legal requirements and then
deliver the event to the public.
