Update on developments.

So far this week this is what has been happening.
I have been invited to a conference in Plymouth in March. 120 delegates from schools across Plymouth will be attending and i have been given a stand to promote the new material. Promotional items like pens are left over from the launch night back in September 2009 which i will take. I will also take the left over car stickers and the banner stands from the launch night. Kim who is responsible for the car stickers has offered to print more at anytime. I have designed A5 size leaflets to hand out which sum up the new material and advertise the website. These have been submitted to print now. Example below.


The posters have started going up in the local night clubs and i have one more to target. Also a club and pub in another town, Bridgwater, have agreed to put some up.

We have been sent a donation by the Taunton Rotary Club which will help us with printing costs for the flyers. I have gathered some quotes to have 500 silicone wristbands produced advertising the campaign as a lot of people are requesting them. I was a bit torn between advertising the campaign and keeping Lloyds name on them as it is all in his memory. The solution we decided was to have 'In memory of Lloyd' embossed on the inside of the band so he is still there underneath it all. They should look good and i will hopefully order those in the next couple of weeks.

Sara from GLEAN who i met with before xmas has emailed a foundation about the possibility of a grant and we are waiting to hear back. I cant remember if i posted after that meeting but there is the possibility of funding and the probation service getting involved. Also they plan to incorporate the DVD and material into future teacher training programs so every teacher will be aware of it. Im waiting to hear from the probation service.

We were contacted by a college in Cornwall requesting 10 copies of the DVD. After a phone call with them they will be using the material via the website. Its difficult to supply all requested DVD's as we have a limited supply. Most places/schools project the computer screen onto whiteboards so im encouraging them to stream the film that way.

We have official quotes from CBS outdoor regarding bus advertising and are looking in to funding.

I think thats up to date at the moment. I must re read the previous posts encase im missing bits.
