Seminar 1 - (7th feb 2007)

Although I am writing this blog now, I previously wrote it on my book but decided to put it on this blog to share with the rest of my collegues in my group.
So far, we have been split into groups in our seminars. My group consist of 3 people: Rishi, Julien, John and myself. In the first seminar, we were given a chance at the beginning to get abit familiar with eachother.
In our group we discussed the charteristics of a possible event which we would hold on behalf of christian aid, we brainstormed ideas of rasing extra money to hit the target of £50,000. We also thought of suitable candidates for sponsors at it has to be ethical to the cause e.g. church of england.
We all took up job roles in our groups so far. John is in charge of the Operations Team, his roles include making provision which would be needed e.g. catering, also operation requirements such as decor, theme, lighting.
Im in charge of the Commercial team and my roles include, identifying the key sources of income e.g. sponsors, donations e.t.c. another role that I will partake is developing a full budget of income and expenditures.
Julien is in charge of the Marketing team, his roles include devloping a marketing plan for the event.
Rishi is in charge of the Production team and his roles include indentifying the event programmes and entertainments and publishing a event schedule of how things are going to run on the day.
I've also completed the first sudent task in which I had identify my skills i possed and what skills i would like to improve on. I benefited on this task as it makes you think what exactly are you good at and what you need improving on.
