Product Description
Product Description
This is a new updated edition. It is an invaluable one-stop handbook for event organisers and anyone responsible for putting on a voluntary or public event. It covers safety requirements and complying with the legislation. Research, plan, organise, manage and deliver any event, match, show, tournament or function - be it carnival, gymkhana, fun run, pop festival, school sports day or Formula 1 car race!
From the Author
I have been involved in the organisation, planning and management of events for over 20 years. I have made mistakes and seen the mistakes others have made. From that experience I could see the mistakes event organisers were making and started offering advice. After a few years I decided to write some of my standard advice down. What started as a leaflet grew into this book containing 35 chapters that take you through from deciding you want to try to put on a show or organise an event, to planning it, setting it up, running it, and stripping down and clearing the venue or site afterwards. I use real examples to illustrate the problems and objectives. This book is a good starting point for any event from a fete to a gymkhana, or a fun run to a car boot sale.

I bought the event managers bible because I am involved in running a twice yearly event which is growing fast and I needed to get up to speed and see what else I would need to consider as I went further with this. The book offers an excellent and broad overview into the planning and executing of the mechanics of an event - it covers a lot of practical detail, and gives a really complete picture of everything involved. I'll be passing the book to my colleagues on the event (or sending them to the how-to-books website, where you can read all the text of this book).
It's clear that the author has a lot of practical experience in this field and it shows through in a lot of very practical and accessible tips (I now know, know for example, how to work out how many cars can park in a given sized field). In all the practical elements of putting on an event from the event manager's point of view, I felt that this book started at the very top level and went into just enough detail to ensure that I would be confident in knowing what I was doing.
My only criticisms, which are minor are around the editing where there's some sections which are rather longwinded and some sections are repeated.
Note that if you're looking for a book focussing on the less practical elements - the design of the event, programme, marketing etc, then this book isn't strong in those areas, it's much more a practical handbook for ensuring that an event runs smoothly and safely - which is exactly what I was looking for.

This was an excellent purchase. I not only enjoyed reading the book but I found it provided an insight into event planning the various types of events. It is certainly a book that produces a comprhensive outline of how to organise an event.
