We have just joined an events networking group in conjunction with Leeds Metropolitan University. I spent a pleasant day at my first meeting on Wednesday. Amongst the other business owners I met were Emily who runs Shine Promotions Model Agency and Kevin the owner of Mint Photography. I have worked with Kevin before when we were both commissioned for an event to celebrate the opening of a new Lloyds TSB branch in Leeds. After the breakfast networking meeting, we then took part in a workshop on promoting your business using social media and communications. One thing that became apparant during the workshop was that I am already doing most of what I should be to promote JARM Amusements via the web, in some areas I was apparently in front of many businesses, so all that time spent tinkering with websites and various promotions seems to be paying off.

November is now almost fully booked, it looks like it is going to be one of our busiest months. December is starting to fill up so hopefully it will just be the normal January-February lull we experience.

For next season we have commissioned a number of new Catering carts and a salection of Victorian style sidestalls. These will be used with our Victorian style funfairs, and also for corporate entertainment jobs, where there more compact dimensions will make them easier to operate in Hotel rooms etc, compared with our fullsized fairground stalls.
