The Lay Member’s day was a great success. The event was sold out with around 300 calligraphers attending. There was much to see and do.We were amazed how busy the event was. We had not quite finished getting ready when had our first customer. From then on we were continuously serving customers throughout the whole day. It only went quieter while many of the guests attended the lecture. During that period I was able to have a quick look round and chat to some of the other stall holders.During the convention I got to meet lots of new Calligraphers. What was very interesting was meeting the customers I already know. I have several repeat customers who I chat with over the telephone, and looking around at the name tags I found on several occasions familiar names. I did in fact get to meet some of my long time customers so now I can put faces to names!And the thing that made it worth all the headaches, late nights, furious organising and even a last minute blunder when the business cards with the coupon codes on, decided they didn’t want to tag along and seemed to go into hiding(!) was the fact that we have officially been invited back to next years convention
