Club Promotion & Push Play Workshops

• Is your club experiencing dwindling membership?
• Is there a need to re-invigorate your membership?
• Does your club have a promotion plan?
• Does your club know what “Push Play” is?

In the current environment where there is so much choice, the need to professionally promote Sport and Sports Clubs has never been greater. The desire to be continually creative and innovative is essential to meet the needs of current and prospective club members.

One workshop will be held at the Pelorus Trust Sports House in Lower Hutt on September 10th and the second workshop will be held at Sport Wellington Region on the 22nd, both run from 7pm to 8.30pm.
