Greenpower Finals 2013

Greenpower National Finals 2013

What was my role?

For this event, I participated in a number of roles that included providing information for guests and selling programmes and merchandise. I also helped to look after the volunteers, ensuring that they were all fed and watered and given breaks if needed.

What did I learn (App.4)?

Just walking around the location selling programmes enabled me to observe just how much work the organisers put into this event (and big, outdoor, events in general). The location was laid out really well, with separate areas for different people and I was able to understand how important the communication between the team was.

How will I develop this?

Next time an opportunity like this comes up, I think it would be beneficial for me to be there from the very beginning, all the way through to the end of the day, in order to see just how everything comes together on the day and I intend to take on as many different roles at these events as possible.
