The 5 Ws
- WHO? – Always start your message with your first name and your organisation
For example: “I’m George from the Haddenham Beer Festivals Trust…”
or
“I’m Mark from Thame Baseball Club…” - WHAT? – What is your event or What is it you want to talk about? What are you raising money for?
- WHERE? – Where is your event taking place? or where did this happen?
- WHEN? – When is it taking place or when did it take place?
- WHY? – Why are you doing this? What is the aim of the event?
