“Swim the M50!” - & help a charity
“Swim the M50” takes
place tomorrow, Wednesday 29th October between 7am and 10pm at the
swimming pools in Ballyfermot, Ballymun, Finglas and Markievicz Sports &
Fitness Centres. This is a shameless plug for an event I’m involved with – but it’s all in a good cause.
The Challenge at each Centre is to have people swim a
total of 45km or 1,800 lengths during the day – so whether you can do 1 length
or 100, your help in getting to the overall total will be warmly welcomed! Admission at the Centres is free tomorrow but
participants and onlookers will be invited to donate to a local charity
collecting at each of the Centres. “Swim
the M50!” was devised to mark the rebranding of Dublin City Council Sports
& Fitness Centres and aims to create an added buzz and excitement around
each Centre in their own local community. www.dublincity.ie/sportsandfitness
The future for print magazines?
This is a very interesting development from Brazil - it
does sound a bit cumbersome and can’t imagine how much it costs - but I’m sure
it will be simplified over time! Trialled
in a special edition of a celebrity magazine, readers could ‘like’ products on
Facebook by pressing buttons embedded in the print editions. Readers signed up via Facebook to receive the
magazine and each one had a chip embedded with a link to that reader’s own
Facebook page.
Some quick media updates:
It’s been a busy few days with media announcements which
may be of interest to your business – they include:
the launch of a new online food and drink Irish magazine – www.thetaste.ie – and some info on that is here:
from the people who bring you Joe.ie and Her.ie comes the news that on 6th November a new sports online platform will be launched – more detail on Sportsjoe.ie here
two UTV Ireland/Newstalk stories here – Newstalk will be supplying news for UTV Ireland when it starts broadcasting in the New Year and Newstalk Breakfast presenter, Chris Donoghue becomes the Anchor for news and current affairs on the new TV station but will also retain his breakfast stint at Newstalk – good news as Ivan wouldn’t be the same without Chris!
