Preparing for a launch event is no small task, as I’m sure many of our groups are finding out.
Wattisfield Community Centre and Recreation Ground Committee were granted £49,950 from the Community Spaces programme to create a play area for toddlers, children, teens and adults.
Ann Telford, of the Wattisfield Community Centre and Recreation Ground Committee, in Norfolk, explains how busy they all are in the build up to their launch event for their new play area this weekend…
“We have the banner and launch kit at the ready. Helium is ordered for the balloons and much else going on including a battery of cake makers wielding their wooden spoons!
Invites are all delivered, either by post or hand delivery. Posters are all up. The advert has appeared in The 4 Gazette & we are hoping it will be published in two newspapers.
Lex Shrapnel (star of screen & TV) is opening the launch; that is important to us as he went to Wattisfield School. Arrangements are underway to get out PR stuff to the media following the launch event.
The wet pour is being installed in the play area at the moment, the thermo plastic graphics were done today, final tweaking on Wednesday followed by RoSPA inspection booked for Thursday.”
Wow, good luck Ann and co!
