March through wrexham

[Scouse75]

If the end of the world really did happen today, BBC Wales would still have managed to have their camera's present for an event in South Wales.(Im being sarcastic!!). I did understand that they meant their resources were stretched because of reporting on bad weather at the weekend, and not because they could not reach Wrexham. But surely, they have enough resources in North Wales to spare us a reporter, cameraman and sound 'bloke'! ...Or do they?

Thinking on, Me, Sid and Led would have done it with a camcorder!!

Someone needs take them up on their statement and make sure they cover the 1st Bn in Swansea on the 13th, Cue RHQ ?

Agreed Colin, but is it not also down to HQ Wales and their staff to sort out, things such as this.

Therein Ladies and Gentlemen lies the problem!! Lack of quality PR.
I work in PR ( not touting for business I hasten to add), if you have and event you want televised you lobby the TV companies talking to your contacts to ensure coverage. My estimation is although the excuse of the weather was given, sufficent lobbying of the media was not carried out in the manner it should have been. The weather on Saturday was fine there were no roads in North, Mid or South Wales that were not passable therefore TV crews...had they been tasked, would have been able to get to Wrexham.

I agree Paul, lack of PR, not only from RHQ, HQ Wales but also from HQ NW District (Bn do come under their Admin Command), who could have advised Granada and he North Wales press.

What a day. It was a privilege and honour to be part of the parade as a comrade. Well done to the Battalion for they’re excellent work. Having a pint with those serving at the Guild hall was also a special occasion. Hope Mac Macarthy got home OK.
