Yesterday we had an open day incorporated into our normal learn to skate and public session that we usually run on a Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately speed training had to be cancelled because the track was too wet but the bad weather didn't stop huge numbers from turning up for the open day. We had 80 people out there on skates yesterday, WOW! I ended up signing 95 postcards and by the end of the day the track was dry enough for me to do a demo. It was a fantastic day and it also helped raise some funds to go towards the new track.
Here are a few video clips from the day and there will be pictures to follow.

Where did you put posters so that you got so many people? Or what else did you (your club) do...
ReplyDeleteI am having such weeks of free workshops in my country but I never had that much visit. I post posters to elementary schools only thou.
Hi, we don't usually use posters but try to get it mentioned on the radio or in the newspaper. Another good way to promote an event is through the school newsletters which don't just go out to the kids but also to the parents. If you can get a number of people who enjoy themselves at the event then word of mouth really helps for next time. Myself, my family and the club have been working on building up numbers and new members for a few years now so it doesn't just happen over night. It takes a lot of enthusiastic people that are willing to donate their time.
