AFTER A SUMMER hiatus of rest and reflection, the wood became clearer from the trees. The absence of a commercially-minded sponsorship manager looked like a gaping hole in the London Cartoon Festival plans. Fortunately, this hole has been amply filled by the arrival of knight in shining armour in the shape of Roger Wilsher of Abstract Associates. Roger is just one of many business-minded individuals who believes the London Cartoon Festival will be a success. And he is prepared to put his money where his mouth is. By funding three months of his Sales Director, Lesley Churchill’s time to go out and drag back the sponsors that we need he is placing a great deal of trust and optimism into the event which is positively inspiring.
The next change has been a review of our venue. Whilst Kings Place is the ultimate in luxury and state-of-the-art facilities, its positioning along with a number of other niggling disadvantages made us revisit our number two on the list: The Camden Centre on Euston Road.
We feel that the Camden Centre offers all we need more cost-effectively and its position in the middle a confluence of major transport routes into London make it a surefire winner for walk-by visitors to the London Cartoon Festival.
Look how well placed the Camden Centre is for our thousands of visitors!
With these changes and the additional possibility of Derren Brown auctioning some of his caricatures on behalf of our charity, War Child, The London Cartoon Festival can dare to consider the glass half full!
