Seminars and Sandwiches

How goes it fellow Peasants and Players? I’ve been off on my own today attending seminars in Birmingham through NatWest and Get Set For Growth with various technological outputs in mind: LinkedIn and SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). Ladies and Gentlemen, it doesn’t get much more exciting than this! (There was a free lunch buffet too! Gotta love a free sandwich!) Sarcasm aside, I found these talks really interesting. LinkedIn is a funny social media platform, very useful to a lot of friends and acquaintances of mine, but I don’t use it nearly as much as I should, and we haven’t setup a page for The Fabularium yet as, well, most interest and public access comes through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Although we’re in opposing parts of the country, the team are all getting stuck into the admin: Gareth is currently tackling applications and researching more opportunities, Lou is chasing up on bookings, Glenn is making plans for the Tales of Animalia at Just So Festival this year, and I’m currently writing up a bunch of risk assessments to be sent out to all our Reynard dates across the country. For more information on our upcoming performances this year visit the Tour Dates page. Now, let’s face it, admin is not the funnest thing in the world, but it’s worth going through all this e-paper work in the Winter to have an extravagant Spring/Summer, and hopefully an exciting Autumn/Winter at the end of this year! And the admin is a lot sweeter […]
