Its probably worth CDSL using the internet and social networking to advertise. I don't buy the programme and do not visit the CDSL desk. I do not go to every game. And I know I am one of many who are the same. Gareth is a ST holder and tells me he hasn't heard any announcements or seen any flyers/posters.
Just an idea; thanks anyway.

Sorry but I agree with Clare on this one. I'm a ST holder, but I too don't usually buy a program or visit the CDSL desk. I think all these events have been poorly advertised. Most people use the internet nowadays so posts on the website, facebook, twitter or even on here would have been much more effective than in the match program after all we are in 2011 not 1911.
But what do you expect them to do ? go around to everyone in the rink and invite them , its been in the programme its advertised in the rink i have seen it and if you go to games i would imagine you would have seen it somewhere and if not ... you know about it now its still a few weeks away so go book your place !! hell we had many many years without forums etc and always managed
I go to every game, I didn't know about it. I do now by chance.
It only takes 5 minutes to pop on here and post it - we have agreed that CDSL can do that and provide us articles for our main site. I believe the Devils do the same.
I don't visit the CDSL desk and usually don't buy a program. But there are all these other means available that cost next to nothing, indeed nothing - just 5 minute investment of time.
Invitations have been resent, and hopefully you'll see a more open CDSL soon.
At least someone had the forethought to start a thread letting everyone else know about the event.

Times change - the program may have been the only way to advertise it 20 years ago, However I, like many people in my generation and the generation younger than me get the majority of their information from the internet nowadays. Surely if CDSL aim to attract new members and be a supporter group for all ages should explore all ways of advertising events. It costs nothing to post on here, the website, or twitter or facebook and would take very little time either. Progress isn't bad.

Re: Re: Bowling With Brad
No need for 1 to 1 invitations. Announcement over the PA; advert on the TVs; posters on more than one wall by the CDSL desk; flyers handed out with ticket collections. And that's just the start.
I have no idea how it was managed before the world of the internet; there seems to be some sort of secret handshake thing to get in/be given information.
But, with the internet now - in 2011 - being such a prevalent part of peoples lives, it would be a silly move to ignore or even fight against its power. Is is by far the most time and cost efficient way of advertising.
I should not be expected to have to not only attend games on a regular basis, but also have visit a little tressle table in the corner with pieces of paper on it to find out information about events.
May I point out that the only reason I NOW know, is because I saw Nina reply to someone on Twitter (an internet based social networking site) about it, which prompted me to ask on here about it. Luckily, there is always someone in the know on this here internet based fan forum. What a good idea - who'd a thunk it?
