It is with mixed feelings that I view the World Cup. On one hand like any other Englishman I would like to see us win. On the other, whenever we play in the competition, business takes a right nosedive.
This time round we thought we had cracked it, instead of waiting for the customers to come to us, we thought we'd go to the customer. In conjunction with lightmedia displays we attended a world cup funday at the Bingley Sports club. Lightmedia specialise in giant screens like you see at concerts etc. This time they were screening the opening match of Englands campaign. We thought the event could prove a succesful one, but in the end it was just about worth attending, possibly the £10 entrance fee charged was just too much.
The next day brought an upturn in business at an event in Blackpool we attended with Wave radio, a Blackpool based station. Renny ran this event on his own, and he reported that it had been a worthwhile day, and an event that could over time build up into a big one, it also marked our most Westerly expansion thus far.
Another couple of charity events came our way this week, one for the Wakefield and District samaritans held at the Sandal RUFC, a venue we have presented attractions at in the past, and the other at Old Trafford, legendary home of the Manchester United football team. This continues our run of charity events this season, and brings our total of new events since January to almost 40.
