2015 CONCORD FAIR A FESTIVE SUCCESS

Concord West Toastmasters participated in the annual Concord Fair for the second year on Sunday 11th October. Learning many lessons from our first foray into this community event last year we had an excellent position in the Food and Merchants area. 
With our Stall emblazoned with a Corporate Club Sign and some additional Signs leant to us by the District 70 Club Growth Directorate we attracted a lot more attention and interest throughout the day.

We took 25 names and contacts of people specifically expressing a keen interest in attending our Club Meetings in the immediate future. People we can now follow up.

During the day we ran out of Club Flyers, ran out of Club Brochures and recycled older copies of the Toastmaster Magazine with our Club contact details labelled on the front.

Particular thanks to the Club Members who helped to man the stand throughout the day (in the heat); Bernard, Peter, John, Jake, Edna, Kate, Glen, Simon and Paul V.

The main thrust of our promotion was to invite people to the next meeting on the following Tuesday which is structured as an Open Night with a modified Agenda to demonstrate various levels of Speakers, Evaluations, Table Topics and Big Ears, and providing guests with an opportunity to get on their feet and have a go!
We also ran out of those Invitations.

All in all, a great day of community interaction for our Club.

Setting up early and ready for the crowds
