Hot tips for Wellington events organisers

Equipment

Check out the Wellington City Council updated equipment directory of free and cheap equipment for community programmes and events at: http://www.wellington.govt.nz/services/eventplnsup/equiptdir/equiptdir.html

Liability/Health and Safety

Concerned about liability when running a programme or event? SPARC (Sport and Recreation NZ) have a web-page you may find useful: http://www.sparc.org.nz/research/pdfs/liability.pdf

Funding database

SPARC, in association with FIS (Funding Information Service) now offer a free online database of funding sources for sport and recreation groups: http://www.fis.org.nz/sparc/

Promotions

Wellington Access Radio is a community radio station which offers Wellingtonians the chance to make their own radio programmes and a free community notice board to community groups. They also have a weekly one hour arts programme. If you or your group would like to publicise an artistic endeavour they are happy to arrange an interview. Contact Veronica Allum on veronicawa@accessradio.org.nz, ph: (04)385-7210, Wellington Access Radio 783 AM.

I hope all your plans for running programmes and events are going smoothly. If not, call me, and I may be able to help.

Good luck!
