How do you get your supperclub started?

[Jill Hodges]

Very excited about our first supperclub event, next week in Fulham! We've got the food together, and we've got a great feel for what we want the dinner to be like - I'm sure that it will be a great evening. But how do you let people know it's happening? I've posted it up here, but is there any other place that I should be posting to try to let people know what we're starting? Just wondering how you get the word out?

Hi Jill,
We got a couple of friends to come along as well for morale support. People came through word of mouth from using this website. The first one is always the hardest I think, but great fun once the evening is in full swing! Good luck with yours.

Thanks! That's helpful! Surely the first one is the most difficult to get off the ground, in terms of just letting people know it's happening and that it will be a good evening out.

I started at the end of October and initially did it every other Friday. My first few only had 8 - 12 people (my capacity is 16) but word of mouth seems to be the most effective way of getting your name out. I made an A5 leaflet which I have given to everyone I know and asked them to pass the word on. I have created a web site which also explains what we do. A lot of people (especially up here in rural north oxfordshire have trouble understanding the concept. I've also posted links on my facebook page. Once I got my first few out of the way I quickly got booked up and am now doing every friday. It seems that people here like to book the whole place and get a load of friends together. Good luck with your venture - i"ll follow you on this web site. Jules
