Re: Criteria for hosting an off-season event

[quote=Jon Stratis;1394242
As for money required... most off-season events do have a per-team fee, and provide concessions as a fundraiser. The specific amount you'll need is obviously highly dependent on a large number of factors - space availability (do you have to rent the gym at school, or can you get it for free?), field availability, feeding volunteers (PLEASE feed the volunteers... it makes them want to come back again next year!), how much you collect from participating teams, etc.[/QUOTE]

Okay thanks that was very informative. The money, I understand it varies but could you give me a rough estimate that most teams would have, in my case I was think about hosting it at wonderland since my school is way too small for an off-season event, and wonderland already has food concession stands. Would it be wise to use the money from the teams attending to pay for the event to cover cost of renting space at wonderland ? My team just barely covered our expense this year, so money is sort of unstable for thing for us. Also how would I be able to get a hold of a FTA, my team is a rookie team so we dont have much connections and don't know how to get hold of various people other than the director of FIRST canada.
