- PNPR put out tweets and press releases, and some 7,000 people attended.
- The third launch was Clandon Golf, Surrey's newest golf course, but one with a difference, which does not require membership. It is simply a matter of booking online and turning up to play. We set up the launch with 100 guests from the mayor of Guildford, to business people and the press.
