List of things to
consider when Planning an Event.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
These are in no way rules, just things to think about. A helpful
checklist in order to make event planning easier. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
It's a good idea to think about these things in order to protect the
host, the property and the attendees. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Look over your venue ahead of time. Not all activities will be
appropriate at all locations. A good look over of the area wile thinking
about what will go on can prevent problems. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Consideration should be given to insurance, particularly in house
parties where a host could be liable. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For larger events a single entry way helps. Some locations may have
parking issues. This can sometimes be solved by parking attendants. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it's a good idea to let the neighbors know what is going on.
It's better to have them talk to you about a noise complaint than call the
police. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Fire is OK in some spots not in others. Be aware of the potential for
building and wild fires. Fire spinning is safe in some places not others.
Remember spinners may be spinning around a large group of people. If you are
going to have a group perform, work with their safety crew ahead of time. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind the principles of the community. These have been organized
in to a handy document.
AZBurner Principles as well as the BMORG
Statement of Principles. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some events will need people to handle issues. Particularly the more
public announced ones where people drink. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
This can be the host, or the local ranger community can be called upon to
help. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind Law Enforcement may show up at your event. Having a greeter
or ranger available to talk to them will go a long way in settling any
issues. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Underage drinking can also be limited by greeters. You may even want to
consider carding people if this is a concern. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that kids are a part of our community as well. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Remember not everyone outside the event wants to hear loud sounds late
at night. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
In urban areas it's likely law enforcement will show up if you do not
plan accordingly. Talk to your neighbors, have people keep an ear out for
how loud it is, and be ready to turn it down if needed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Leave No Trace (LNT) rules depend on the venue. If it's an outdoor event
you may want to ask for earth guardians to help clean up. For a party,
making sure there are lots of trash cans will make clean up easier. The best
thing you can do for LNT is educate people. Perhaps even having some signs
about LNT. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Keep your potential guests informed. Including information on your
invitation helps set the standard for your event from the start. For
example, is nudity acceptable? Is fire spinning? |
