Burns Night

We need to plan the various scenarios around COVID-19

• Social Distancing requirements
• Wind instrument performance restrictions
• Maximum indoor guest capacities

Principals

• Performers pay cost of meal.
• Performer Guests pay a discounted rate, somewhere between performer and early group price.
• Base room rental costs spread across guests but not performers.
• Early bird + group discount should = meal cost+room share.
• *Means full price should be minimum of 125% of cost+room.

Advertising

• Email past attendees
• Email leads gathered in the last year
• Flyers
• Social Media Posts
• Online advertising (Where’s the scoop etc).

Budget

Numbers put in the budget were a gut feel based upon previous years.  They were not calculated.

Files

Folder have NOT been created on Google Drive yet.

Considerations

• Are we / will we be ready musically
• Will we be able to afford the venue/meal with restrictions in place?
• Will we be able to get sufficient Silent Auction items to fund this years expense?
• Should we hold off and have a spring concert instead?  Also?

Actions

Who is doing what?

• Expectation that everyone sells tickets to friends/family/work colleagues
• Expectation that everyone approach potential donors for silent auction
• Who will do SM posts?
• Who will do email blasts?
• Who will put flyers up?
