The general arrangements at the hotel venue were more than satisfactory
 
The layout of the room was such that I was comfortable during dinner and the awards ceremony
 
It is preferable to provide an effective bar service rather than offer a drinks reception
 
The event next year should be held at a larger single venue
 
A single venue event in North Wales in 2007 would be strongly supported
 
I had plenty of time to network prior, during and after the ceremony
 
 
 

Programme

 
The 5 video inserts usefully explained the context of sustainable development
 
Each of the finalists should be filmed and included in the programme

Reducing Environmental Impact

     
Paper            

We have endeavoured to reduce the amount of printed material on the night to reduce our environmental footprint.

  • Booklet – one English and one welsh version was produced per table for information (and people directed to this website to view it after the event)
  • Programme – one was produced per table (downloadable from this website)
  • Leaflet – one produced per person to take away providing further information on the night, sustainability in general and opportunities for feedback

It is important to serve the same menu at both hotel venues
 
The dinner was of higher quality in comparison with other Welsh award events
