Before the event

Resource calendar

- Volunteers can access the new resource calendar through https://rk.ky.fi/
- Check the premises available and make the reservation well in advance
- No “just in case” reservations, start your reservations when you actually plan to do something and not 6 hours before
‍- Reservations for multiple days are not allowed (meaning that you can not reserve the event space the day before or after your event = all preparations and clean up have to be done within the event date)
- By reserving the premises I commit to obey the rules and regulations of the premises
- Apply for the extended reservation
- KY van → make sure you have filled the van driving permit

KY Office

- Pick up necessary keys and the extended reservation permit during service hours
- Ask for door programming if needed
- Remember bouncers for bigger events
