We are giving it a go ………………..starting up a North East NADJ branch.
Date : Tuesday 16th November 2010
Time : 7pm
Venue : The Quakerhouse, Darlington http://www.quakerhou.../Page/music.htm (I will get directions when I find out where to go :D ) There is plenty free parking nearby.
The cost is free although we may have a ‘domino card’ or raffle to help pay for nibbles provided - we are not making any profit and have secured the room for free.
Before you stop reading – this is not just for NADJ members. These meetings are open to all. There will be a quick 15 minute presentation about the NADJ and benefits attached, and you are very welcome to join, however there is no pressure whatsoever and we will NOT be constantly touting for you to join.
We have had quite a few social gatherings this year and the idea of starting up regular ‘little more formal’ meetings have been discussed so we thought we would give it a go.
If anyone has been to a meeting before you will know of the tremendous benefits and knowledge they bring together with a good night out.
So far the agenda has still to be finalised. I will be honest in saying I don’t think any of us were ready for some of the obstacles faced.
The agenda so far will comprise of :
Meet and Greet
Intro and explanation of NADJ + benefits (promise this is short and brief with no pressure)
Supplier Demo - still to be finalised but we do have some new lighting products to demonstrate as a minimum
Break + bring and buy (feel free to bring any items you have for sale)
Meeting – is it going to work ?? We will also welcome feedback about what YOU want from a meeting and of anyone has anything to offer. I am going to draft up a brief questionnaire to gather everyone’s views – if you can’t attend but would like to fill in a questionnaire let me know and will email one over.
Shure microphone sound off – light hearted competition to see if you can hear the difference between a range of Shure microphones – you may be surprised !!!
We will also be looking to form a committee. This takes a minimum of 3 members who are committed and are able to dedicate the time required for the roles. Don’t be afraid if you have not been involved so far – if you feel you can succeed on the committee let us know, the last thing we want is to be seen to be cliquey.
The main objectives are to find out what DJ’s in the area want from these meetings. The only rule we have so far is that there will be NO talking about pricing. Once a pricing conversation starts it takes over. We hope the meeting will help people to learn and make their own choices about pricing. We hope to have a wide range of DJ’s there from club/pub DJ’s to established wedding DJ’s – again ALL are welcome.
Please let me know if interested or have any questions. I would also advise to keep an eye on this thread for any changes that occur. The date, venue and time however is set.
