 In the past few weeks forestrow.org and I have started a collaboration to
make the forestrow.org events calendar available in printed form to those who
do not like using computers.
The poster is also available on-line here and also accessible from the top menu under 'What's on!':
 What's On in Forest Row!.
Each week - normally on a Friday - I select all the events for the coming week
and generate a poster summarizing them. Then I get a few hundred copies
printed, and distribute them to local shops, farms, churches and community
centres, for people to pick up as they pass. A few copies get posted to the
various public notice boards.
We hope that in time, this will become a reliable (and even essential) guide
to what's on in and around Forest Row, that people can pin to the kitchen
wall - or like me put on the fridge door - so that I don't forget that
concert, film, or lecture that I promised myself I'd go to.
For this project to work, two things are needed in addition to reliably
producing and distributing the poster. Firstly, we need you to advertise your
events on forestrow.org. Remember it's free. So if you are already paying to
advertise your event by some other means, you can increase the number of
people you reach - and give them a free copy of the advert - at no extra cost
to yourself.
Secondly, I would like to find organisations and individuals who are prepared
to sponsor the printing costs of the weekly poster, as a service to the
community. Even event organisers might think about contributing if they find
that they are attracting a larger number of people as a result of free advertising.
If you would like to contact me about this, I would be happy to hear from you.
