+Amberel Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I have been looking for permission to place my first cache in a local suburban country park, and the response is very positive. > I'm really sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

+Bambography Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Geocaching University has a few promotional sheets/cards that can be downloaded from: http://www.geocacher-u.com/resources/index.html#downloads They were used at the Swindon Event in the summer where we were promoting and introducing muggles at the show to Geocaching and the brochure seemed to be very well recieved.

+Amberel Posted November 5, 2007 Author Posted November 5, 2007 Thanks, I'll look into that. Rgds, Andy Quote
+Bear and Ragged Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Warwickshire County Council promote the cache at Burton Dassett Hills park on their website, with links to GAGB site, and the cache page on GC.com Link To councils web page about the park. G Quote
+Amberel Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 Warwickshire County Council promote the cache at Burton Dassett Hills park on their website, with links to GAGB site, and the cache page on GC.com Thanks, I think they were thinking more about something to put on the noticeboard by the entrance, but I'll suggest they put it on their web site too.

+macroderma Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Geocaching University has a few promotional sheets/cards that can be downloaded from: http://www.geocacher-u.com/resources/index.html#downloads They were used at the Swindon Event in the summer where we were promoting and introducing muggles at the show to Geocaching and the brochure seemed to be very well recieved. I'd second that, the leaflets were greatefully accepted and I think we achieved a few converts It is remarkable how many walkers with GPSr didn't know about geocaching, and how interested they became when they found out about it Quote
+keehotee Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Very surprised the GAGB haven't jumped in here.... Quote

+Bill D (wwh) Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 We don't have any printed promotional material, which is what I assumed you were looking for, and that's why I didn't post earlier. We do have online stuff, for example this page, if that's any use to you. --- Bill, Chairman GAGB Quote

We do have online stuff, for example this page, if that's any use to you. --- Bill, Chairman GAGB Thanks, Bill, you're quite right, what they are looking for is something to put on the noticeboard, i.e. a small poster. I've found 3 different tri-fold brochures, but they aren't really suitable for several reasons. I could try knocking up an A4 poster myself but I'm a programmer rather than a graphic artist, and I think the results might be a bit "ordinary" :-) Rgds, Andy Quote
+Amberel Posted November 20, 2007 Author Posted November 20, 2007 Well, I didn't find anything suitable so I had to put something together myself. Artistic stuff really isn't my forte but I did what I could. If anyone else wants something similar, I've posted a PDF at http://62.24.214.171/geoposter.pdf. It's about 330KB. The original is in Corel Draw and anyone who wants it is welcome to that too. If anyone thinks I've missed off anything that really, really should be there, let me know, but I think it already is at least as long as is advisable. Rgds, Andy Quote
+PopUpPirate Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Nice work! Should probably have the web address on it though Quote
+Amberel Posted November 20, 2007 Author Posted November 20, 2007 Nice work! Should probably have the web address on it though It has - http://62.24.214.171/geoposter.pdf - doesn't it work? I don't have a suitable domain name pointing to that address, so just used the IP address, but it ought to work OK if you click the link. Rgds, Andy Quote
+Amberel Posted November 20, 2007 Author Posted November 20, 2007 Nice work! Should probably have the web address on it though Or did you mean on the poster doesn't have the web address? It does say www.geocaching.com about halfway down, but maybe not sufficiently prominently? Rgds, Andy Quote
