Hear ye, hear ye!
Never let it be said that we at MCIN never do anything for our Community Reporters. Through equal amounts of charm and pestering we have linked up with some of the kind folk in Manchester’s entertainment industry, who have agreed to give us free tickets to some of the city’s top events in return for reviews. We’ve already had people go to the Comedy Store, the Royal Exchange and the Velodrome, and we’ve got also contacts with the Greenroom, Contact, Sportcity and SJM Concerts – they of Manchester Academy fame. Details of all available tickets are available on our brand shiny new Community Reporter’s Newsletter, which went out today. If you haven’t received it, and you’re registered as a Community Reporter, let me know (jess@mcin.net) and I’ll include you on the list.
Likewise, if you’ve got contacts at any venues in or around the city who you think might be up for taking part, then let me know, and if you’ve got anything you want other Community Reporters to know about – events, courses, news…whatever really – then get in touch and I’ll send the email round. We’re still waging the charm/pestering offensive at MCFC and the Lowry.
It’s worth noting that Community Reporters who go to events WILL be expected to write/record a review (we’re no stranger to nagging. Some of us are exceptionally good at it), and priority will be given to people who haven’t had tickets before. If you’re unsure about how to write a review, one of our Community Reporters, who has written some professional reviews, has agreed to give a free workshop. Let me know if you’re up for it so we can organise it.
Have fun!
