DJ mentioned a toolkit and potential seminars that WTB is creating to help event and festival organisers, CO advised that Planed have been doing something similar for years and that WTB should not be recreating the wheel.  Helen Thomas at Planed should be contacted and their workshops discussed then Julie Russell, Cultural Tourism Manager at the WTB should be contacted with the relevant info for comparison.  Lisa Johnston
