- an event leader and deputy event leader are in place (the project managers)
- the main purpose of the event (the event objectives).These should not only cover what those attending the event will experience but also the wider benefit to the county·
- a firm budget forecast.(The event budget must be agreed by the county finance sub-committee and approved by the County Trustee Board)·
- an outline financial risk assessment
