How do I spread the word about our club?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest problem you will have starting a new club is that nobody will know you are there. There will be people interested in skating but they won\u2019t know there are clubs they can join. The best way to publicise the fact that you are starting a club would be:<\/p>\n

\n
• Ask us to publish a news article on this site saying where the club is starting and who to contact in relation to joining the club.<\/li>\n
• Print posters and put them up in local sports halls, schools, notice boards etc.<\/li>\n
• Submit an article in your local newspaper, newsletter.<\/li>\n
• If you have a Facebook profile, create a new page for the club and invite your friends to join and get their friends to like and share your page.<\/li>\n
• Email the other skating clubs around the country. They may know someone in the area who would like to join.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
