Wow what an amazing day! The sun shone, the crowds came and all authors sold books. Wrekin Writers also sold three copies of the 2008 anthology (thanks Julie's relatives, much appreciated). We handed out leaflets about the group, that in itself could prove to be interesting and Darren, our fantastic publicity officer, created a crossword about Attingham and sold a lot of copies at 50p each.
Wrekin Writers display their Chairman's Challenges and advertise their author's books.
Part of our marketing/recruitment team or perhaps the best way to describe them would be muggers, no one got past them. This is Julie and Nicola but also helping were Barbara and Darren. Everyone who entered Attingham Park today were given the opportunity to enter our special Chairman's Challenge event, 100 words on your visit to the park. The prizes are National Trust Vouchers. Let's hope we get plenty of entries, if the efforts put in by the group are anything to go by, I shall have loads of entries dropping on my door mat.
Dorothy (and I know she'll kill me) having a well earned cup of tea. She has worked so hard to make sure this event is a success and for that Dorothy many, many thanks.
And when it got busy, it was very, very busy.
My heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone. From Wrekin Writers, there's Barbara, Mollie, Fiona and her husband Steve, Darren, Julie, Nicola, Phyllis, and Bev. Wrekin Writers' (book authors) Di, Simon and Carole.Also I'd like to thank the Shropshire authors who met, mingled and laughed with us.
All in all, we had a fantastic day. Looking forward to tomorrow
