This section is aimed at potential Stewards. It covers the basics of planning an event, including budgets and event proposals.

Very little here is an absolute requirement: it's just a starting place that you might find useful. Other sources of advice are other stewards, the seneschal, and past event proposals and budgets [1]. Feel free to propose entirely new things.

If you have an alternative that works well consider writing it up and adding it to the resources here.

Site information and photos

There's detailed information about many sites we've used before in past event proposals. There are collections of photos taken at various sites during site-visits in the gallery: go to the gallery for "website imagery" (only available if you're logged in), then "event sites". There may be other images taken during events in the general gallery.
