Week 11: Practical research – Scheduling – Gurl Dinner: Timetables and Dining Tables
This was the last meeting before Gurrl Dinner, occurring 5 days prior to Sunday, the 6th of April, where we discussed the final details that we would have to complete in advance of the event as well as a timetable to shape how the evening should progress.
Scheduling
First, we ensured that each of the ‘courses’ was able to be completed, confirming that we had all the materials to complete each step of the evening. From this point we were able to develop a schedule of events, bearing in mind the individual availability of all the organizers on the 6th of April.
