Paul Russell commands building of an indoor beach

[Robster970]

The word of mouth, local radio, posters and fliers account for the majority of the people through the door.

What we do see is that people see a flier/poster, check on the web, talk to other people who have heard of us and then eventually turn up. There is no one thing that makes people turn up. It's awareness. The web presence is an important part. The fact that other curators are turning up is also good.

I might just sit on the roundabout that connects the Bath Rd (A4) to the M4 until I get arrested. There's no such thing as bad publicity.

The exhibition is listed in today's The Guardian's The Guide, p. 41.

Perhaps that will help...

Edit: I submitted the listing to the Press Association's listings, which is where the Guardian, The Independent, etc. seem to get their listings from.

Hopefully, it will be in some other newspapers' "What's on" guides as well.

Last day tomorrow. Anybody there after 6pm tomorrow can then watch me start to take the place down.

Anybody want any sand? Got plenty of it

 

[Biddlybee]

I'm hoping to come along tomorrow... you can keep your sand though

 

[Paul Russell]

I'll be there about 2.

Just about to get the train.

Change at Basingstoke and Reading. Wow! It doesn't get much better than that!

What a lovely afternoon... thank you Robster and Delphian Sibyl.

Paul.. your photos are wonderful and the gallery was so well set up... chilling on a deckchair on a beach in the middle of Slough.. just what I needed on a Sunday afternoon

(sorry if I wasn't really with it )

What, a baby?

That is careless. Probably use Royal Mail special delivery or something rather than the normal post. Especially in your neck of the woods.
