Firstly a big thanks to Eric for his presentation on the history of drinking water in Geelong at the last meeting. Thank you Eric!

The usual setup and pack up helpers, door staff and display security plus numerous little jobs.

Any promotion club members can manage (just telling friends would be great!) but here is  just a sample of what’s happening in the background!

MARKETING
I have put up 11 signs, Allan 5, Eric 4 and have five more printed with new panels applied ready to go up this weekend in some prominent sites.
A4 flyers are starting to go up around Geelong shops.
2,500 four to a page leaflets have been in shops with 500 in stock for last two weeks
Facebook and Bottle forum promotions are being pushed along but if you use any social media please Like, Share and Post about the show!

ENTRIES & LAYOUT

Layout is easy as plenty of room and 1 meter square carpet squares and graph paper with 1cm to 1 meter grids making it a dream!

Graham Blake will do a final copy once my draft is finalised.

Paul’s drop box data at time of writing shows at moment we are only using half of our 120 tables!

SO GEELONG MEMBERS PLEASE GET YOUR ENTRIES IN MONDAY!

Entry form and information sheet can be found here – http://www.geelongbottleandcollectables.club/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2018GeelongShowSchedule.pdf

Things are progressing well but still plenty for the committee to discuss in the next two weeks.

Cheers David
