We need to organise the groups tasks better as a group and not as individuals. I have been allocated the task of approaching companies for financial and in-kind sponsorship, however some individuals are approaching companies requesting discounts etc., which is encroaching on what I need to do. I don't think this comes across as being very professional, particularly if a company is approached asking two different things. Either we're asking for sponsorship (financial or in-kind) or we're asking for a discount.
We also need to work as a group to devise a standard letter template requesting help from outside companies so that we're all on the same page. I suggested to the group that we needed a name for our exhibition before we could write to companies as this would be an easier way to identify ourselves. A small group of people went off to decide this and came up with the name "retro resolution". The name works well with the final chosen them of "retro".
In order for us to work better as an exhibition group it would be more beneficial if we split up into smaller groups and concentrated on different sections within that group. e.g. 2-3 people to work on marketing (sponsorship, advertising etc); 2-3 people to work on the layout plan (floor plan, display boards etc). Each section could then arrange to meet during the week to arrange workload within their discipline so that work can be carried out in time for the next lesson, instead of several people doing the same thing and other things getting left out.
