Our masters club has our first scheduled meet on March 17th.
I don't know how to stir interest to get people to come.
We have 3 entries and may have to cancel. This will be the last and only attempt at a masters meet from our club(which is a USA driven board and hold 3 USA meets a year, one is the biggest in the lsc). I know I have support from my club(the kids parents esp.).
I have emailed a lot of folks on our LMSC privately. And some have pasted it on(thanks Jim).
I've attend a meet at a local LMSC and brought meet invites.
It's on the calender of events.
I'm from Allegheny Mountain LMSC, if you want to check it out...
I have to attend our board meeting in a week..ekkss..
I hate to cancel, I have a month...any ideas?!?! HELP
What everyone on here says is true. I probably get 50% of my entries in the last 2-3 days before the entry deadline.
But it's also true that people have to know about a meet in order to enter it and the first year of hosting a meet is always the hardest to drum up entries. The next year is easy, just e-mail the people who came the year before , send them an announcement of the date and a link to the new entry form.
Maybe like Jim suggested your LMSC's registrar or newsletter editor will be able to send a mass e-mail with your entry form attached. And send an e-mail to local masters teams coaches or contact people and ask them to forward to their swimmers. Good luck!
