A Very Interesting read
I had absolutley no idea about how to plan an event and what was involved. It seems that the author has drawn on a lot of experience in writing it and I thought it was excellent. In a short space of time I had a good idea of what would be required in planning an event.

Start a business!
Very thorough and totally practical. It is quite obvious this has been written by someone with experience. You can run any event from a birthday party to a traction engine show with this guide (check the strength of the bridges the traction engines will have to drive over to get to your fair). You could safely start your own events business with all the information in this book, knowing every angle is covered. If you are unemployed or sick of your job get a DBS check for yourself. Then use this book to start a business organising local rich kids birthday parties--or a car boot sale! Borrow a library book on self-employment/tax etc and you are away! Good luck.
