poster
Publicise your Playday plans with the official Playday 2008
event poster. The poster has space for you to customise
with details of your event.
The event poster can be edited electronically, enabling you to
add your own logos and text easily. To edit electronically,
download the poster and save it to your computer. Then open it with
a desktop publishing programme such as Illustrator,
InDesign or Publisher.
The high resolution version allows good quality
commercial printing if you wish.

Free resources
Playday resources including a Playday
banner, bunting, postcards, adult t-shirts, child t-shirts,
stickers and scrapbooks are available for registered Playday 2008
event organisers who have registered their events.
If you have already registered your event you do not need to do
anything. Items will be delivered in the week beginning 21 July,
with priority for events occurring before 6 August.
Resources are distributed on a first come first served basis.
Due to higher than expected demand we can no longer guarantee
events registered from now onwards will receive all items. Posters,
postcards and stickers are still available at present.
Last year's resources proved extremely popular - some
people even took their Playday frisbee to far
flung places!
Playday logo
We realise that some Playday event organisers like to produce
additional promotional materials. You can request the use of the
Playday logo for these purposes by emailing playday@ncb.org.uk. We require
proofs prior to print whenever the logo is featured, which can be
approved quickly by email.
Template press release
You may wish to make use of the Playday template press release
which will be available closer to Playday. If you would like
advice on publicising your Playday event, visit our Get publicity page or check out the
Getting publicity section of the Get
organised! guide.
Scrapstores
Why not contact your local scrapstore to get further resources
for your Playday event. All sorts of donated and re-used materials
are available, perfect for building go-karts, dens and all sorts!
There is a network of resource centres and scrapstores throughout
the UK, visit the directory on the
Children's Scrapstore website to find your nearest one.
