This is obviously of more relevance to local media, who can promote the event in the area and show an active involvement.
We have two standard presentations one on an introduction to self build and the other on how to get an affordable home. We put these on from time to time in various places across the UK, at our own expense as a part of our general education programme. Both presentations can be put on with a gap between, allowing readers to choose which is most relevant to them.
We can also put these on jointly with you in your own local area or as your event. There will be no cost for our involvement. Your cost is therefore mostly in providing the space, but you may find you can also have an exhibition area and recover all costs from exhibitors or alternatively by running this in conjunction with an advertising feature.
The presentation involves a speaker and graphics shown using a video projector connected to a PC. The room we use therefore has to be large enough to accommodate enough people and have room to use the projector.
In promoting these events it is always important to point out that self build is not what most think, in that you don't have to do any of the building yourself, its all a case of making decisions as to what you want.
An introduction to self build
Covers why people build their own homes and have them built for them, including cost saving, able to choose layout and getting a better finish. It looks at the economics, example costs, and the stages involved and who undertakes them, we look briefly at green issues, and state of the art additions and more, and it also covers what help is available and of course what we as a club do. Running time is 2 hours including Q&A time. Handouts are provided. We do not do any hard sell on club services, and point out other ways to achieve their dreams without joining.
How to get an affordable home
Covering most of the same material above but looking in greater detail at how the most savings can be made, and with working examples that are all far lower in cost. Other means of raising funds and paying for a home are explored. Less time is spent on state of the art homes, and expensive additions. We cover the Affordable Homes Project. Handouts again are provided that are relevant. Running time is 2 hours including Q&A but can also be compressed to 1.5 hours if needed.
