The Nine Double - ues
This is the most important question when pastime events are concerned. If there is no clear-cut reason and no complex of parallel aims such event should not be organized. There is no whatsoever point to do it just because there was one the previous year or it is a part of our calendar undertakings. It wouldn't be right for the lost time thus the event would rather be dismissed.

What
Kind?
Having decided that there is a serious
ground for the organization of the event, the next follows as what form it
should take. Should it be devoted to people of certain age? Whether it suits
the reason overall? Every detail of the event must be thoroughly elaborated and
fulfilled to the end. An incorrect type of an event is as bad as an event
without any reason.
Where?
The issue of availability of appropriate
place and facilities for the event is of a great importance. It is also necessary
that the place of the event should have a set of conditions, in advance to
assure that all necessary demands are fulfilled.
When?
The event time can be determined by many
factors. In order to rouse a greater public interest and to avoid overlapping
one should follow closely the local, national and international event calendars
and assure that the site foreseen for the event is not occupied.
What
for?
This is another essential question as if
there are no people interested in the event there is no sense to organize it.
The purpose of the event might be raising of funds or to enhance its publicity
but generally speaking a factor of involvement should be present otherwise all
attempts will come to nothing and the event will find no attention. It is worth
organizing an event if there is a group of participating consumers.
Whose auspices?
It may raise a number of problems since
the event can be organized provided there is a strong group of organizers. This
work is demanding therefore certain skills of the organizers are required no
matter whether they are paid or voluntary. No doubt there is a possibility to
buy such service or advice but it can turn to be very expensive and therefore
the issue should be seriously considered at the very beginning of the budget
building. Thus if you have no skilled organizer the event should be put out of
your head.
Who
will watch?
There is a presupposition among those that
once they hold an event everyone will be rushing to see it. But practically it
is not so. To say the truth most of the potential participants are scared away
by the ticket prices.
Will it cost?
It is a very important question but it is
often not sufficiently analyzed. In the first place the possible expenses should
be calculated and if the income will cover them. Inability to estimate the
budget thoroughly in advance is the recipe of headache or failure. One should
be pessimistic about profit and realistic about expenses.
Who
will lead?
Is there a man or a group of men who can
guide the organization towards the implementation of the idea to conceive, plan
and bring an event to realization?
Who
will pay?
Financing of events is an intricate
problem especially of larger ones where it is particularly difficult to raise
money for their realization. Therefore before taking the task it is essential
to define all possible expenses and ways of how to cover them in advance. Many
events failed in past for the reason that no serious budget calculation was
carried out.
