Bushey & Oxhey Ladies Circle are shrinking fast! We’ve been so active in our area and nationally, that we’ve unfortunately let our own Circle slip. So, we are on a mission to increase our membership to ensure our survival.
Bushey & Oxhey Ladies Circle Step one was to contact local primary schools to ask if they would like us to help with their Christmas Fair in exchange for the opportunity to publicise the organisation.
Well, what a fantastic response! We covered three fairs last weekend and have another this Saturday.We provided a raffle, prize draws, chocolate giveaways and an auctioneer. We had a table where we displayed local and national leaflets, menu cards, photos and paraphernalia as well as Table publications.
We were helped enormously by our own Tangent and are very grateful to our friends Kate Jones and Jackie Hampton from Reading Circle who came along to give support.
So far, we have 19 enquiries to follow up and have made ourselves better known around the school communities. We’ll be inviting our new friends to some social events and hopefully they will be won over by our wit, charm and tremendous capacity for friendship!
Vicky Perry’s document of ideas to increase membership is great, and we’ll be trying these ideas over the next few months.
If this doesn’t save our Circle, then nothing will! |
