Is there anything I need to know about the day of the event?

On the day of your workshop, please check that you have the following:

• List of participants and their contact details with a copy for us.

• Remind them of your event and how to get here,where to park and how to enter the building.

• All of your refreshments gear: food, milk, drinks. (Hot water and cups/glasses and jugs are provided).

• Your own planning, resources, paper, pens, laptop and materials you need for your event.

• Signed hire contract (if you have a last minute booking).

• Check that room rental has been paid.

• Bring promotional material for future events, advertising flyers, details of future planned events and even things to sell.

• Please ensure you remind your class about the toilet facilities and the emergency exits when you begin your event.
