Fashion show stress!

Fashion Show
So we are at a point now where everything needs to be pretty much sorted for the fashion show. It’s been really stressful, probably more so than doing my actual project work. Me and Katherine are course reps so we put in charge of managing everyone and everything. We have been collecting and recording the money, sorting out the contracts and the meetings, and seeing over everything.
Its been really hard trying to take into account everyone’s ideas but also making sure that everyone helps out and is putting in the same amount of time.
We have had some issues with the venue, in the first instance we were finding hard to find any sort of venue, but in the end we found one called Alea, and that capacity was still quite small but it was bigger than all the others we had found and they were also offering us the venue for free, so it was too good an opportunity to pass up. Unfortunately we were then made aware that the capacity numbers were actually a lot smaller than first anticipated, so it caused a lot of problems and a lot of stress. We have a meeting with the venue tomorrow to finalise thing and we have decided that we are going have two shows.
It can be quite difficult sometimes, as we are giving information by college and when the group ask if they can do this or can do that, I will tell them what has been said and they see it as me or Katherine making that decision when actually it has been set by college so sometimes we can end up in quite awkward and uncomfortable situations.
I am hoping that the meeting tomorrow can sort some things out.
