Tips for Mini Field Coordinators

Handy Tips for holding your Mini-Field In seeking feedback from Mini-Field Coordinators the following tips were provided for people considering running a Mini-Field. If using council or private land seek approval for its use early (i.e. 6 - 8 weeks early) If having guest speakers confirm them at least 6 to 8 weeks out. If having a media presence at your Mini-Field contact them 6-8 weeks prior to your event. Breast Cancer Network Australia can also assist you in sourcing media for your Mini-Field and can provide you with press releases for your local media.  Please contact us for more information regarding media. Get your invitations out early and give yourself plenty of time to promote your Mini-Field within your community. Seek support from friends and family to help stage your Mini-Field, it can be a big job and more hands make light work! Do not take on more than you can handle. Keep it simple and manageable! If you have any questions about holding your Mini-Field , please contact BCNA. Approach local businesses to utilise their resources or to obtain in-kind sponsorship for your event. Bakers Delight and Australia Post are our major sponsors for Mini-Fields and if you have these organisations in your area you may approach them to seek support for your Mini-Field. Where you do receive support from local businesses, ensure that they are provided with recognition and thanks. Have thank you notes ready for distribution after the event to distribute to those you wish to thank. Where you want to get the public involved, choose a location that is visible. Be clear about your vision for the day of the Mini-Field and focus on keeping it at the forefront of the planning.     Last update:March 2009
