Review of Budget
Following a post by Finance team in which some people were displeased and thought other teams weren't being budget aware, we did some of the maths to make sure we could back up what we asked for and also to refine it in the event that the amount needing to be payed by each person is reduced.
I found that the money already spent ($57) and the money we intend on spending - budgeting considered - equals $187.
To reduce budget we have:
a) Opted only to do one big light box and consider alternative resources (adapting what we can get from the Warehouse for $10)
b) Sourced things that are expensive (like lights) from other places: our first lights are free as they are borrowed from someone and stuck inside the box in a way that they will be able to be removed
c) Considered cheaper lighting options - initially were only able to find 4 x strips of LED lights at Bunnings for $35 which is reasonably expensive but are now considering things like Christmas lights to keep the budget down (as lots of little lights should = amount of light we need)
d) We expect the printing won't be as much as that but as we will be printing double sided A4 brochures for the entire event and potentially A2 posters also it could be costly
e) Bought a roll of tape that we will hand cut the floor stickers from instead of using vinyl which would have been less sustainable and potentially more expensive, also would have limited the areas we could put the tape
f) Got student discounts (Gordon Harris) and sourced items that are on sale to reduce costs
