As mentioned by Fanum at the end of last week, I'm tasked with putting together a presentation and information pack for the 2006 UKGSer Challenge, more fondly known as "Tossers In The Sahara".
I'm going to be picking Bill's brains, a challenge in itself, for purpose, general plan, etc., but would like to know what you want as well.
I understand that some of you need the information to secure time off work, some for talking about sponsorship, etc..
Please can you use this thread to state your "wish list" for presentation and information pack.
Some questions I'd like you to consider as well:
How long do you think it should be?
How much information do you want?
Any specific audiences that need targetting?
Do you want notes included with slides?
Formats? Probably MS Powerpoint but may be PDF.
How would you like it distributed?
The presentation and information pack will roughly mirror each other but the information pack will carry more detailed information.
Both documents will be considered "live" and be subject to change as more information is added.
If anyone would prefer to supply information or ask questions outside of this thread, please PM me and I'll be more than happy to supply email and 'phone numbers.
Also, I've had a brief discussion with Fanum about planning.
/work mode on
At the moment there's two milestones: Leaving for Banjul and planned arrival.
It would be very helpul to the organisers if there was some formality on planning and breakdown of what's what and when it's happening. Ideally there'll be one place for all to go to determine the current situation. Everything from bikes to visas to jabs to food to flights to spares to fuel to kit...you get the point.........needs identifying and tracking so nothing gets left to chance and people don't duplicate effort. Hopefully, we can build a level of financial tracking in as well. It may also help secure funding, donations or help if we can show we're approaching this in a planned & controlled manner.
/work mode off
So, for those that have an urgent requirement, please let me know what you need and when you need it by. Also, please take into consideration the questions above.
I plan to get the first draft out for mid next week on account most of you will be heading to Lands End for the weekend and will probably need a little time to recover.
Please let me know if there's anything I've left out or something you think will help. I'm open to all offers, not "that" type though!
Thanks all and have a great time in Lands End!
