Information for Stewards
Stewarding can be hard work but it’s also very rewarding. This section is designed to make this as easy as possible by providing resources useful for stewards, whether they are doing it for the first time or the hundredth. These resources provide a range of useful suggestions based on the experience of others; they are guidelines, rather than official policy.
Running an Event
Being in charge of an event does not have to be difficult, but it does help if you are organised and follow the basic requirements. The following is a very basic guide to stewarding your first event. We suggest you use this as a starting point, and consult a more experienced steward if you have problems or questions. Stewarding for Beginners (Word) is an excellent introduction to the process of running an event.
Proposing your event
At minimum, an event proposal should include the following:
- A completed Event Proposal (Word)
- A proposed Budget (Word document or Excel spreadsheet)
And if you would like to see what else might already be on the Events schedule (both approved and proposed), then see the Events Planning Calendar.
