Calendar of Events
Importance of the Calendar of Events
The organisation of events is a principal function of any recreation
organisation. The calendar of events is a primary part of the Operational
Plan for all recreation organisations. It is a simple document that
simply lists in date order the events to be conducted by the organisation.
The calendar may also include events conducted by other organisations
if they are of special interest.
Types of events on the calendar might include:
- Competitions
- Committee Meetings
- Coaching clinics
- Professional development courses
- Vacation programs
- Sign on days
- Social events
- Season opening/closing dates
- Awards evenings
- Special activities
- Planning Meetings
Careful date selection is required
Despite the simplicity of the document, putting together the calendar of events can be a complex task that requires considerable consultation with numerous parties. If a date selected for an important event clashes with public holidays and/or other major public events or simply at the wrong time of the year, the event can be a disaster.
