Presentation

OK so the presentation has been rescehduled and I have to present tomorrow. I have been doing alot of thinking and have changed the direction of my research proposal, although am worried that it will not be enough to write about and I dont know really how to word it. Anyway I have decided to look at the ways in which local community events are funded by the governement and the criteria that they need to hit in order for it to be funded. In the current economic climate it would seem that very little is being done in local communities, which to an extent is understandable but at the same time surely this is when community events would be most useful? to bring people together and to reinforce that community and socail spirit? This is why I have decided to look at these because it would seem that there has been a massive shift in the reasons for puttin on local events and money is just on of them. I am unsure how I am going to be able to find out what the criteris for these events are but I will try!! and also I have decided to look at the effect of the Olympic games is having on outside communities, on the website fo rthe games it says that they are doing things everywhere but when I typed in my local areas as encouraged to I found that there wasnt that much at all. I dont think that I have done enough research to say whether this is true of everywhere but I am thinking of doing some quantitatvie research outside of London to see if people feel that they are benefiting from the games and to see whether local councils feel as though they are mising out as I know they are currently geting no funding for their own individual events for the city.

Now there's something to ponder - let just hope Franc understands me tomorrow.
