Fame, at last
« on: March 28, 2018, 10:19:15 AM »
I was contacted by Mirror Group Newspapers a few weeks ago, with a view to getting something published about me in three regional newspapers that they own. All three hit the street today and appear near enough to my workshop to generate trade, whether it's from people calling into the shop or travelling to me for tuition.
Can't be bad!

WOW Les

That's great! It's about time that woodturning got some press and they chose the right man for the job.

I hope it creates more business for you.

All the best

Firstly, great news and a good article, congratulations and well done.

Secondly, it can only be a good thing for all of us to have this sort of article generated and published in even regional newspapers. It brings our art to the attention of people beyond a fairly small circle who think turning is 'Bowls'.
