Hi All,
one for the Brits amongst us.......
The "Paperweight Collector's Circle Newsletter" was featured on last week's satirical news programme..."Have I got News for You". Brits will know that they parody a specialist magazine for being rather sad! I think we ( inc. Alan) got away rather lightly with just a quote about "the Arthur Rubloff room doubling in size".
Cheers,

Hi Tony.
Any publicity is good publicity...they considered using it for the previous series, and got in touch with me again about 10 days ago. I rather hoped they would use a few more quotes and bring our existence to more collectors who are unaware of the PCC!

I missed this bit and OH was shouting to me 'they're using a ppw mag!!' ;D ;D
I agree with Alan, any publicity is good publicity - you'd have to pay an absolute fortune to advertise on TV and that program is absolutely the right market for possible new collectors - I couldn't have picked it better had I been doing the media placement for it.
A friend of ours runs a special award called the Turnip prize and they've been featured twice on it - wonderful advertising.

Hi All I agree, great advert. I have even managed to record the following days airing to see it again. They were unfortunately a little short of time on that part of the show. Well done Alan Roy

Hi Alan,
Yes, very well done!! My OH had recorded it as I was away in France. It was a nice surprise!!!
The covers looked really good, too.
There is no such thing as bad publicity...
