Before my course - 7th Feb 2009

I know, I know its Saturday and I shouldn't be thinking about the GDA but the fact is that I'll be a week away in Reading (weather permitting) and I must get so many things sorted before I go.

For obvious reasons I want to be concentrating on the course and not GDA during my stay in the UK and I have spent all day working on things.

On my way to work this morning I get the Saturday Gibraltar Chronicle and there it was the Johnny Neale Charity article, I did wonder when it would be published as the Chronicle is printing absolutely everything I send them which is very good of course.

One of the issues I get sorted is adding two new members into the database and I complete that task in under 30 minutes. This one I had to do because otherwise both these players would not be able to play next week without the new team sheet. I send St. Joseph's an email with the new team sheet for them to print off and the other one I send a text message and they can pick up the printout from my house sometime tomorrow.

At Darren's request I send over an email request to the Tourist Office, so that we can be included in March's Calendar of Events "The Gibraltar Open 2009". I already have them included in our Media emailing list but this is a different email for the Tourist Office so lets see if they do or not.

I have via email replied to a member with concerns about last nights incident. I said what I could and not much else. The matter will be resolved.

Finally the website Gibraltar Open side of things is online, however I am not happy about the prize money and I've contacted the committee to see why it has gone down and given ample reasons why it should be the same as in previous years or even higher. Also hoping Dyson can put his finger in with Saconne & Speed (the main sponsor - Kronenbourg 1664) and we can get a boost on the prize overall total.

I prepared a few templates for the Gib Open which I need to send to Darts World (as a jpg at their request) and another email template which I will send to the media once we agree on the total prize pool at our disposal (Dyson be quick please it's important).

In continuation of above and to show that we are having lots of good publicity of our main sponsor, I let the media know that we have reached a landmark 1000+ visitors a month on our Gibraltar darts website.
