As it's name suggests this committee deals with press releases and maintaining contacts with the media.

BUILDING ON SUCCESS
In 2011-12 The Club achieved excellent publicity for a tree planting project in both the Telegraph & Argus and the Keighley News.

The reason such coverage was achieved was because The Club claimed the event was the first one in Bradford to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee.

It is unlikely that without this connection we would have got any publicity at all.

In order for us to get any copy in the local press we must remember that it must have appeal to the general readers of the Telegraph & Argus, Keighley News etc.

Arising from this success The Club will seek to publicise more of the work it undertakes by building on the contacts and experience gained.

To do this the Committee will work with other Committee chairmen to bring to the attention of the media the work they are undertaking.

PUBLICISING MAJOR EVENTS
Particular events which we will aim to get publicity for are:

• The Annual Golf tournament at Ilkley Golf Club and
• The Cleveland Walk from Hemsley to Filey to raise money from the Marie Cure Hospice in Bradford.

To help us gain publicity we will ask all those who are holding events to let us know in advance what they are doing and to supply us with interesting  pictures.

Please remember pictures of Rotarians are rarely interesting whilst those of pretty girls and young children are.

PUBLICITY STUNTS
We are also considering an April Fool project for 2013 to gain publicity for The Club but at moment details of what will be done must be subject to a publicity embargo.

Whilst 90% of the work we will be undertaking will be outwardly focussed we will still aim to get regular articles in Rotary in the Ridings.
