Creating a planning chart

  • Use a sheet of A3 paper.
  • Write down your start date and your event date.
  • Allow time for follow-up after the event (e.g. 2 weeks for: collating information, collection of sponsor money, presentations of money to charity, evaluating, thank you letters etc.)
  • Write in key dates/deadlines (e.g. venue arranged, posters printed, posters distributed, float decorated etc.)
  • Mark a weekly countdown on your chart – 4 weeks to go, 3 weeks etc. It focuses the mind!
