What is an event?

This book will help you to research, plan, organise, manage and deliver any event, match, show, tournament or function that will be attended by more than a handful of people. You may call your event a gymkhana, fun run, steam fayre, half marathon, carnival, school sports day, jumble sale, tennis tournament, car boot sale, or model aircraft show. The names change, but there are common requirements and considerations to them all. For the purpose of this book, we will describe your target function simply as the ‘event’.
