I was only a part of the team for the event day, arriving in the morning for set-up, working as a steward in various capacities throughout the day and helping with the close down at the end. This event enabled me to have an experience of working with different groups of the community having not been a part of events before which are primarily for children and their families. From this I was able to see the challenges of reaching a target market who you are not familiar with, however after the undeniable success of the event it was encouraging to see that whether or not the event managers may be a part of a certain social group doesn’t mean that they can’t reach them with a suitable event.

Working on this event I was able to improve my team work, working with a group of individuals who largely were new faces with new skills and also to observe positive volunteer management.
