Regional Events Co-Coordinators Ian Hurst & Simon Wright: The Regional Events Coordinators • list is in Orders Of The Daye • the first port of call, as early as possible • will have access to the up to date events diary • should also be aware of other events at an early stage of planning and thus not yet in the diary • remember – they are there to help you!
Regional Events Co-Coordinators Ian Hurst & Simon Wright: Models of Funding This year’s majors reflect the 3 models of funding currently used: • Blenheim – ‘traditional’ sponsorship • Wentworth Castle – part sponsored, part profit share, part contribution • Newstead – fully self (SK central funds) funded
Regional Events Co-Coordinators Ian Hurst & Simon Wright: Non fee earning commemorative events: • we do want to do these • there is a budget, but … • … it is limited! • You need to talk to Ian Bailey as the budget holder
Regional Events Co-Coordinators Ian Hurst & Simon Wright: Pricing • be realistic, but … • be confident in the product • don’t ask for too little, it’s easier to drop price than increase it • some suggestions: • quote ‘basic’ price • leave yourself scope to add extras e,g cannon
Regional Events Co-Coordinators Any questions?

Complaints and Disciplinary Policy Sub Title How to stop yourself getting thoroughly shafted.
What’s it for • As a Regimental Commanding Officers it is your job to arbitrate in disputes involving members of your regiment. • I was recently told “I didn’t know I had to arbitrate as a CO” • Sorry chaps YOU are the first line of problem solving
What’s it for As a Regimental Commanding Officers it is your job to discipline members of your regiment
What’s it for “I didn’t think I had the authority to do that” WRONG! In your regiment you are responsible therefore you have the authority to discipline your troops as you see fit. HOWEVER........
What’sit for • If the person you are disciplining accepts your decision then.... No problem • If they do not accept the judgement you have handed down; then the SK D & C policy comes to your aid. • That’s what it is there for
