Advice for session chairs

Posted by Barry Rowlingson on September 12, 2013

Have we got an 'advice for session chairs' document? And will we have five minute and one minute warning signs for them to flash in the rooms?
Am happy to draft a one page advice doc this afternoon, just needs a dozen copies for leaving in the rooms.

Barry, this is on my to do list for this evening, both for chairs and helpers.
If you can do it this afternoon it would really help. I am going to have copies to give the individuals.
Also needs to be very plain English  and quick to read, some language issues.

Is a doc on basecamp best or a google doc for better formatting?

Barry Rowlingson on September 13, 2013:

I shared a doc with you yesterday - did you get a chance to review it?

cheers Barry, looking now

Barry, Rollo says for chairs to agree timings with presenters - if you have 5 mins have a quick look at doc (I have also added helper instructions) and I will get it printed this afternoon.

made some changes to helper instructions because I think they were carried over from chair instructions.

we should share with some of the team and print after the meeting this afternoon?

Ok, I have made it open to view.
Can anyone who is interested check the notes for session chairs / helpers please, before I print copies for the volunteers later.
