How to do the tasks

Leading the subcommittee
* Ensure they meet their tasks in a timely manner. Keep these as the primary contributors to the Quiz Night, anyone else in the convention committee can help by attending quiz/bringing friends/organising food on the night etc. 
* Ensure to attend and oversee all meetings and be the main point of contact for all subcommittee members.
Picking a date and venue
* Consider day – Thursday / Friday / Saturday nights preferable, Saturday / Sunday day for family friendly events
* Consider date – Time of year – what is around that time; any conventions? Screenings? Other events?
* Consider location – RAAFA is $50 to use IF you can get Tony there

Questions to ask venue
* When can we arrive, leave by?
* What is the occupancy? (both in total numbers and how many chairs / tables)
* After making booking reconfirm with e-mail, and then reconfirm again
* Call the week before to remind them
* Work out payment – do they need a deposit? Do they accept cheque?
* Ask if the manager is going to be there on the night? If not – who is in charge?
* Ask how they want the room to be left – as we found it? Or chairs stacked on tables / chairs and tables stacked in the corner for cleaning?
* What are the food options – if you are in a licensed venue, do they have dinner options? If not do they mind outside food / pizza delivery?
* Are under 18's allowed inside with or without a guardian?

Budget 
* Have a clear / realistic budget and make sure you adhere to it – items to consider are; paper, pens, prizes, gear (PA/projector) and venue
* Consider the door price when coming up with this budget. Make realistic expectation on income / expenses so you can make at least a minimum profit
* Minimizing expenses – some businesses will give you paper and pens with their logo on it. You can borrow electrical gear (just ask around) which can lower the expenses
* Venue PA – if the venue has electrical gear, its a good idea to check it out / have a backup. You don't want to get to the night and discover it not working. Also ask if there is an extra cost to use gear
* Float – Make sure you collect the float the week before, and consider the cost of the quiz to what you bring (e.g. $15 entry means you need lots of $5s)
