We have a website which is linked to not only the mian BKA website but as many local sporting/leisure sites as we find.

We also have cards in shop windows - this works quite well actually.

Notices in sports halls in the region (this not so well which I find odd really).

Word of mouth can work, but often people do not stay long if they have come along via this route. Anyone else find this is the case?

Best form of advertising is local press but this can be expensive, so our 'cunning plan' is to pester one of the local rags (different one each year) to take pictures of someone winning something or passing a grading. This tends to generate the most interest and gets quite a few new members.

But the best way.. is Hollywood . We got lots of interest when Last Samurai was out And from the 20+ who showed up we have kept two ( but a few have only left because they have been posted abroad). So come Spielberg,do something about Ronin or Musashi or Tesshu.
