First of all I'd like to say that I felt sad to hear that only 15 people attended the reunion held at the Barn Club for the Lescudjack pupils. We only started to advertise it for the Barn Club a few weeks ago when we became aware of it ourselves. The Barn asked us to advertise the event on the understanding that they placed a link to our website on their adverts......... The event is over and I'm still waiting for the links...... A one way street I think. (correction. This weeks adverts did include a link to our website in the Penwith Packet 23/10/2008)
Clearly there has been major mistakes made in the organisation and publication of this event. White girl has a valid point about the advertising because I haven't seen any in the Cornishman to advertise this event.
I have seen some on facebook, bebo, myspace and so on.... but it doesn't take a genius to work out that this isn't where you'll find that audience. The youngest (last pupils at the school in 1980) will be in their mid forties now!
I've been a businessman most of my adult life and understand target audiences, marketing, entertainment, value for money and most of all I understand people.
I promise you that the official Lescudjack reunion will be the talk of the town! I have already enlisted the help of professionals to guarantee a whole night of entertainment for all who attend. I've been to far too many reunions where once your in you are left to fumble around nervously undirected and confused. We are putting together a full format of entertainment, memorabilia, gifts and special guest speakers and so on. We are looking at attendance numbers being in the hundreds and people coming from all over the world.
I've already been speaking with our press officers who will ensure that we get local and regional TV and tabloid and radio coverage for this event.
So don't be disheartened as a real treat is on the horizon for all the Lescudjack School pupils, teachers and staff.... watch this space
