Ash Clouds, Stickers and Promises

Short week, short blog, but plenty to do all the same. Some very anxious moments in the ThinkIrish HQ this week. Our Campaign Director Alan was sweating over the return of Ireland’s greatest nemesis since Thierry Henry..... The Icelandic ash cloud. Thankfully, the cloud passed for now and Alan got out in the nick of time. Big Al’s in the Big Apple spreading the word of ThinkIrish.ie to our brethren in the US.
Our Car Stickers and shop window decals have gone up at the counters in all 20 McCabe’s Pharmacies across Ireland. As of Tuesday they’re also available in Joe’s Daybreak, Willowfield Park in Goatstown and our old friend Fergal O’Driscoll is doing another door to door drop in Dublin 6 and Dublin 6W, so if you live in the area keep an eye on the post box for your free Car Sticker. So far we’ve spotted 6 cars with stickers on them. Haven’t gotten the chance to take a picture yet, but if anyone does, be sure to pop them up on the Facebook site. Fan photos are always welcome.
We had our biggest uptake in the competitions this week. Our lucky winners were Josephine Battye from Tramore in Waterford and James De Feu from Dublin. They won a Green Angel Hamper worth over €100. James has told us that he’s promised his hamper to his girlfriend. We have a slight delay on this week’s competition but rest assured that it’ll be up and running by the end of the day today. It’s a great prize as well; we’ve got a decanter worth €170 from our friend Tomas Daly in Kinsale Crystal, Cork. A little clue for our readers is that you’ll find our Star Product under the Meat, Fish and Poultry in the Food and Drink section.

Well we’ve officially welcomed Summer, been blighted by the ash cloud once more and bade farewell to an Irish broadcasting legend all in the same week. It all starts again on Monday, so have a great weekend and see you all next week.
