To make sure that you make the right decision, myfunctionroom.co.uk – a UK online directory for function rooms and party venues – has come up with a list of helpful tips to planning and preparing for your special occasion.

• Location – Carefully consider the location of your venue and how easily it is for your guests to get to. Look for function rooms which are relatively local for most of your guests, so they don’t feel too put out about the travel as well as extra expenses of taxis or booking a hotel room. The closer it is to your guests, the more people will turn up.
• Capacity – Pretty self explanatory but many people get this totally wrong, with the results leading a party to look completely empty or like a can of sardines. If you are expecting around 100 guests, make sure that the function room you choose holds this amount or more as well as with seating and tables. Many function rooms will say they can cater for 100 but with tables and chairs in the room, they can only fit about 80.
• Cost – Most function rooms offer free room hire as they make most of their money back from the bar. However, many require a fully refundable deposit so check this before you book.
• Disabled and Parking Facilities – If you know that many of your guests will be driving you need to check whether the function room has parking facilities and whether people can leave their cars overnight. Some function rooms allow their guests to leave their cars and pick them up the next morning but double check this and notify your guests so they can make arrangements about how to get to and from your do.

If you have guests who need disabled access in and out of the function room, make sure that you check the venue has these facilities. Many of them usually do, along with a disabled toilet, but check beforehand to save you and your guests the embarrassment on the night.

• Catering – One of the major features of a party is the catering and many fuss and worry about what food to have, how many to cater for and what to do if there isn’t enough. Some function rooms allow you to provide your own catering while others will only allow you to use theirs. Make sure you check with the venue before booking. Some venues also have kitchens which you can use to store the food before the party.
• DJ hire – Some have in-house DJ’s so be aware of this before you book your room. Some venues do not allow all the DJ equipment into the venue so check with your DJ to see what equipment he has and whether it will fit or be allowed into the room.
• Children allowed – Not a common problem, but there are some venues that won’t allow younger children inside. If you are expecting younger children at the do, make sure you find out whether they can attend so your guests can arrange a child minder.
• 18-21^st birthday’s – There are some venues that don’t allow 18^th or 21^st birthday parties, due to liability as well as the worry of underage drinkers. Double check this before you book.

There are several arguments for and against banking regulations, and each side of the arguments has a lot of supporters, drawing a clear line in the sand about how people feel about politics playing a part in the banking industry.  Standing with bankers are those who feel that the government does not need to have any more power over the banking world than it already does, believing they should be run as the independent corporations that they are meant to be.  On the other side of the argument, are those that feel that the banking industry has too much power in the United States and that the government needs to make some assurance for the American people. Either way, the bills that are making their rounds will be scrutinized and modified.

The nuclear arms deal that has taken center stage between many nations, is a smart policy, not only for peacekeeping, but also for business.  Many people do not realize how much international business is effected by the current political climate, but businessmen and women understand this well.  So many trade and economical deals really on a good political atmosphere between all nations involved in trade, and when it comes to nuclear arms, commerce and trade has become a way to persuade countries to agree to certain terms.

The nuclear arms deal has been used as a talking point for many other economic and political deals, and this has been intentional.  In order to persuade many issues, trade deals have been brokered, broken and promised, all to make sure the nuclear arms deal is signed.  Several economists, politicians and even heads of state have agreed that the nuclear arms deal has been good for business in their respective countries.  As relations between nations continues to improve, it is only natural that so will the economy and the markets of all countries involved as investors and consumers are encouraged by the negotiations and markets begin to rally again.  And once the politics have ended, the increase in jobs always experiences an increase.

Politicians have recently faced mounting criticism over their awarding of large government contracts to big business, when those contracts were meant for small businesses.  In order to boost the economy and guarantee that the bidding was being carried out in a fair way, there were certain stipulations put in place regarding awarding the contracts.  Smaller businesses do not always have the leverage and pull in government that larger businesses do, so it is unfortunate that politicians and the government did not stick to their own rules with these contracts.

Advocates for small businesses are angry over the awarding of lucrative government contracts to the same big businesses, calling it business as usual in Washington.  Further allegations claim that data and contract information has been destroyed in order to hide, cover up and protect both the politicians involved and the Fortune 500 companies that they gave these contracts in question to.  Because the contracts have already been awarded, there is nothing anyone can do, but the business contracts are being investigated.  Furthermore, both politicians and the big businesses involved know that further contract dealings will be watched so even though past contracts cannot be changed, future contracts that are meant for small businesses will make it to them.
