Dear Broads Tourism Forum Member

Our next Members’ meeting takes place at the Museum of the Broads in Staham on 14th October. We have an interesting agenda lined up for you and I do hope you will be able to come.

A highlight of the meeting will be a talk by Simon Middleton, the highly acclaimed Brand Strategy Guru.  Simon will be sharing with us his thoughts on branding for the Broads picking up the branding ideas previously developed by Simon Anholt in his branding strategy.  Branding is of course a key issue for the successful marketing of the Broads and we look forward to hearing from an industry expert on the subject.

There will be a look back on the 2009 season from Tony Howe of the Broads Hire Boat Federation and we will be looking ahead to 2010 with ideas for and discussions about next year’s Enjoy the Broads Campaign.

One of the exciting opportunities that has come up is the chance to have a major Broads presence at the Boat and Caravan Show at the NEC Birmingham from 23 to 28 February 2010.  We will be presenting the proposals for that and we will be interested to hear your views and whether you’d like to take part.

Before the meeting you will have an opportunity to take a tour of the Museum and the museum will also run 10 minute trips on its steam the ‘Falcon’ on a first come, first served basis (max. 10 passengers at a time).  If you haven’t been to the Museum before you are in for a real treat.  Please arrive no later than 3pm - tea and coffee will be available on arrival.

I do hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a an interesting and enjoyable meeting
