+ | |||
+ | ==EVENT MANAGEMENT== | ||
+ | Events that allow non-members access (i.e open to the public) to the Bodgery, need to make sure that the following are in place | ||
+ | Volunteers to staff the front doors to welcome and guide the public to the Flex space (2 recommended) | ||
+ | Volunteers who can give tours if tours are planned (2 recommended; | ||
+ | Set up signs (to the effect “no non-members beyond this point”) and barricades (in process of acquiring), so guests do not randomly move into machine rooms or Private studios unaccompanied. | ||
+ | If the event takes place away from the main entrance (e.g. a classroom), please ensure there is a plan for late arriving guests to access the event. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==COST== | ||
+ | If the event involves vending and/or application fees for being a part of the event; | ||
+ | The Event organizer will be the designated person for this job. The Bodgery treasurer has asked not to be involved in these transactions. | ||
+ | The Event organizer can decide if they want the vendors to pay (or sponsor it themselves) | ||
+ | We recommend Vendor fees | ||
+ | Booth fee $5 | ||
+ | Member vendors up to $10 | ||
+ | Non-member vendors $10-$30 | ||
+ | Vendors who only display items do not have to pay, but that’s a host decision. | ||
