Looking to host a summer social?

Planning a summer social?
Summer is just around the corner and summer socials are a good way to get everyone together to relax. Staff, volunteers, members – it’s great when everyone can kick back and enjoy some social time together.
Unless you’re the one organising it that is! You’ve sorted the venue and your head coach has once again volunteered to man the barbecue in their Head Chef apron.
Now you’ve got to make sure everyone knows about it, find someone to coordinate the tickets, make sure someone knows about any allergies, try and guess how much food and drink to buy – it can be a huge undertaking. And then someone suggests selling raffle tickets as a fundraiser over and above ticket sales!
Wouldn’t it be fab to have a one stop shop where your bespoke event page has all those aspects built in? A place that can handle tickets sales for both the event and the raffle, list all the food options in advance for people to order - so you know how much food and drink to buy - with an allocated order number so you now who ordered what? Plus the ability to cap numbers so your customer knows instantly if an item is sold out?
Imagine if it also had a space to enter any allergies or special requirements with an easy to print report to check off on the day – so much easier for staff and volunteers. Not to mention a database of all ticket holders at the press of a button so you can issue last minute information to everyone – especially once you’ve seen the weather forecast!
