Hello everyone!
This is an update on the planning.
Last Wednesday, we met with Mr. Wicky Sundram. The general manager of the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club, came to give us an insight on planning an even such as our cardboard regatta. He helped us loads of ideas on how to get sponsorship and planning it.
He gave us an outline on the steps we should get done first:
Steps
- Volunteers
- Sponsorship, Sponsorship packages
- Media communications
- Technical team – the race management – on water management (someone monitoring the race, lifeguards, rules (do’s and don’ts), safety, medical supports, stopwatches, need judges.
Also, we have to get the date and venue confirmed, then do a press release, send mails to media (Wicky mentioned to tell them it’s a youth development program.)
To get potential sponsors, he mentioned that it’s best to know the brand managers personally (we also have to write to them 6 months ahead to get these sponsors), which is pretty tough since we don’t know many high ranked people. But we’re going to try our best.
We’ve also got an announcement. This Sunday, the 8th of November we are having a meeting with people who would like to volunteer. If you’re interested in helping us plan this exciting event, please contact:
