Hi all,
As mentioned on another thread (although I thought this deserved a new thread!), I've set up a Facebook group for club publicity officers, or indeed anyone involved in club marketing and development that would like to share ideas about increasing participation at a local level.
Although Nope is very useful in this respect, a FB group allows sharing of files and documents too, so I hope it's of use. There's nothing on the page yet, but I'll start it off by adding some things over the next few days, which we've done at TVOC recently that have dramatically increased numbers of newcomers. So I hope they'll be useful and encourage others to share ideas too!
The group link is http://www.facebook.com/groups/908920679152518/ so do please join! I've set the group to be public (i.e. anyone can see and post on it) but I can review that if people would prefer a more private group.
Mike
(Publicity Officer - TVOC)

Re: New publicity group on Facebook
This sounds like a great idea. Thanks Mike - an issue close to my heart!
Far as I'm concerned, Publicity is up there with Chairman and Treasurer on the list of "absolutely essential club committee roles".

I agree daffdy, except I'd call the post "Publicity Co-ordinator". A club with 100 members has 100 publicity officers.

Re: New publicity group on Facebook
45 people have joined the group, and there's been some very interesting information/discussions already. Well done Mike
Since not everyone looks at nope, I took it upon myself to look at every UK orienteering club website* to find the publicity officer (phew) and have emailed everyone I can find.
Some stats for you:
Out of 84 clubs.
25 had someone labelled publicity on their website I could email
5 had someone listed, but no email address
3 had the post unfilled.
52 didn't have anyone listed for publicity.
I'm sure that in some of these 52 there are people doing publicity, so if you know of someone who would benefit from the Facebook group please do mention it.
Probably we can conclude that about half of UK clubs don't have anyone organising publicity. What can clubs do about this? One suggestion, 40 years ago the secretary was a busy person, now perhaps clubs could abolish the post, share taking the minutes and replace with a publicity officer (co-ordinator) instead?
*not the uni or forces clubs.
