I have received many excellent suggestions from friends in the course of project NCH to date. Only the other day my friend John suggested emailing the minister for disabilities, the ticket supplement in the Irish times and the letters to the editor page in the Irish times. All great ideas and the emails were duly sent. I was chatting to Tony last night and he said he intended to carry a ticket or two around with him in order to possibly sell them to people he encounters in daily life. I will also do this now. When it was said to me that some performers are just not great at selling tickets, I thought about it and replied that they just have to drop the NCH into a line of conversation and my guess is that the listener will be interested and might just consequently buy a ticket.

More and more I think of this in terms of a general election.

Every seat counts.
