Hi Lee
After you spoke to me, the committee did design (with a lot of help from Al and John) and have printed leaflets publicising the summer series and the club generally.
I then spent time contacting local model shops and then either posting them leaflets or drove around delivering them where I felt it would be of more benefit to speak to the shops themselves.
As far as Modelzone is concerned, when we spoke my understanding from you was that the manager for the Basingstoke store was also the manager for the Southampton store. When I spoke to the manager of the Southampton store it appears that was not the case but he did agree to put some leaflets out on the shelves with the RC car stuff. He knew nothing about a discount scheme for local clubs.
The club is now regularly getting enough for 4/5 heats for a mornings racing and the all day events have averaged around 45 drivers. I think this is a huge improvement on 18 months ago when there might only be 5 racers in total but it does not happen by accident or inactivity.
