Planning your time 7
Make your own plan – the Prize Bingo Night
Imagine that your group is planning to hold a Prize Bingo night with all of the money collected going to a charity for people with disabilities.
These are the basic arrangements.
- Book and decorate a hall.
- Arrange a bingo caller, bingo machine and books of bingo cards.
- Arrange catering.
- Arrange publicity.
- Persuade people to donate prizes and collect them.
- Have admission tickets printed and sell them.
- Have enough people available on the night to ensure it all runs smoothly.
- Arrange for clear-up of the hall and counting the money.
As a group, decide what would have to be done and make time plans. These should be fairly detailed and should be 'fleshed out' considerably from the brief details you have listed above. You can make a time plan for each person in the group as well as an overall plan. You have six weeks to get ready.
If you like you can make use of the blank diary and flowchart pages.
These are quite basic and are only intended as a 'starter'. You could design something completely different – either by hand or on computer, if someone in the group has the skills.
