Publicity

As a registered charity, BOAT always tries to limit the amount it pays out for publicity in order to donate as much as possible to good causes. Therefore, we rely heavily on volunteers to promote the main production and the activities of BOAT in general. We are always looking for new people with or without specific skills because publicity for BOAT is non -stop year round. The biggest task is the distribution of fliers and posters in the local area and is the simplest way anyone can be involved. However we are also keen to find people with experience or interest in other aspects of publicity. This could include joining the team that writes press releases, creates artwork, finds new outlets for publicity and supports other projects that BOAT undertakes.

Auditions and Open Evenings are held every year in January.
