On Sunday we had our first public presence, as part of the Langport Funday. Even though this wasn't our own event, it was still very important for the project as it was the first time some local people had heard about the project. We all know how imporant first impressions are! It was also a nice warm-up for New Saints' Event Management skills before we embark on our very own events in Langport.
Our presence at the event included one of the stalls on the Rec - from this we were giving out leaflets (see below), signing people up to our e-newsletter, doing facepainting and selling cupcakes to the crowds. All of which went down very favourably, hooray!
We also took the opportunity to have the church itself obviously open to visitors and got a very healthy 21 people into the church. This was a real triumph as it meant we could speak to locals and tourists about our project whilst standing in the space that it involved.
All in all, a very good (if soggy) day for all of us.
