Establish the workshop budget. Before you start spending money, it is important to know what funds are available to you. Make a list of the foreseeable expenses, such as the workshop venue, tools, equipment, food and supplies. Try to divide your funds across the expense worksheet to allocate a certain amount of money to each category of expenses.
Set the date and time for your women's workshop. Make sure you select a date and time that is convenient for the crowd of women you are hoping to attract. For instance, if you are organizing a Christian women's issues workshop it would not be conducive to host the workshop on a Sunday morning, when the majority of your audience may be at church. Additionally, set the date of your workshop far enough in advance to give you time to plan. The scale of your workshop will impact how much planning and preparation time you need. Larger-scale workshops require more details and may take you several months to plan, whereas a small-scale workshop could be planned in a couple of months or a few weeks.
Pick your workshop venue. Assess your spacing needs based on how many workshop participants you anticipate coming. If your women's workshop will be intimate, you might select a venue of a more intimate nature, such as somebody's home or an office conference room. If you are hosting a workshop for women where you expect hundreds of women to show up, look to hotel conference rooms for potential venue options. Make sure the venue you prefer is available on the date that your workshop is set, and that the reservation cost fits within your budget.
Create an agenda for your workshop. Document the flow of how you want the workshop to go. For instance, the very beginning may be 30 minutes of introductions and icebreakers, followed by a one-hour lecture and then a 15 minute break. Incorporate a lunch break if you are hosting a workshop that is over four hours long, beginning in the morning.
Identify any special guest speakers you wish to attend your workshop, based on the issues that your workshop deals with. For instance, it may be appropriate to introduce a motivational speaker for a women's workshop on 'how to build self-esteem and end abusive relationships,' whereas a financial workshop for women could lead you to invite a well-known female financial advisor to the group. In addition to guest speakers, include activities for workshop participants to do and videos for them to watch.
Set your attendance fees. These fees should be based on how much money it will cost to put the workshop together, and if you want your organization to make a profit on the workshop.
Advertise for your workshop. Based on the women's issues that the workshop focuses on, select the appropriate places to advertise. For instance, you could advertise at local churches and on the radio for a faith-based women's workshop, whereas a workshop for women dealing with addiction could be advertised at substance abuse clinics and on the radio. Make sure your advertisements tell women the date and time of the workshop, along with the price for attendance.

How to Host a Soccer TournamentIn Feburary 2016 01,

Ensure all of the necessary equipment and facilities are in place. You will require some soccer balls, pitch markings (or cones) to mark a perimeter, corner flags, goal posts and a net (again, cones will suffice). Unless you have hired a referee, you will also need a whistle and a way to keep track of time.Make sure that all the equipment you are using is safe and check that the pitch is clear of debris.
Determine the format of not only your tournament, but the number of players on teams. The number of players on each team will have a major impact on the dimensions of pitch you use, as well as the length of the matches in the tournament. For example, a 5-a-side tournament requires only half an 11-a-side pitch (which should be played across the width of the pitch) at most. A 5-a-side tournament could be as short as five minute halves, whereas in an 11-a-side tournament, you will want to play at least 15 minutes a half.
Do a draw to work out the group stages / first knockout stage. Study other, more famous tournaments in order to work out a format for your tournament. For example, the soccer World Cup sees 32 teams compete at first a group stage comprising four teams in each group. The top two teams from each group then progress to a knockout stage. 16 teams become eight, become four, and then two in the final.
Play the matches as determined by your tournament format. If you have an odd number of teams, thin these out by either giving one team a bye, so the numbers are even in the next round, or hold a group stage where one group contains an odd number of teams in. If you have group stages, play them out first. If you do not, move straight in to the knockout phase.Be sure to record all of the results and keep track of the goalscorers if you wish to give out an award for the top goalscorer of the tournament. If you have the technology at your disposal, you can administer the tournament using a spreadsheet program.
Complete the tournament and hand out awards as necessary. If you have trophies for the top goalscorer and the tournament winners, then hand these out in a presentation ceremony.If you have hosted the tournament in a makeshift setting, be sure to collect up all rubbish and any items left behind—you should leave the premises in the state that you found it.
