Club Open Weekend
This year’s open weekend
will be over the weekend of 6th & 7th May. It’s never too
early to start talking about this because it’s a major annual
recruitment event. We really need to introduce some youngsters to
Aquarius and any ideas to this end would be gratefully received.
I’ve already been in touch with station manager at Radio Jackie
who has agreed to broadcast some publicity for us in the run up to the
weekend. I will also have posters and fliers available in good time,
plus newspaper adverts.
What I need you guys to do is
distribute this PR material in good time and talk to friends,
neighbours and family about the weekend. Encourage them to come down
and bring their friends. Posters and hand outs should be put in your
local shops, schools, libraries and anywhere else that you can think
of. Scout, Sea Scout and Guide groups in your areas should specifically
be targeted. Let’s see if we can get a record number of people
down to the club (and afloat) this year.
