The BDO Unofficial & Unregulated World Darts Championships 4-12 Jan 2020 Indigo at the O2

When is the AGM?

Summer sometime usually. July? Certainly isnt coming up.

They do have occasional Delegates Meetings, though.

I would have thought their job was to promote the companies that employ their services, not themselves, no?

Aye they have been doing. British Demolition Awards last year seemed to be the last thing they plugged on FB and Twitter but as my initial point states, all very quiet of late.

If I employed a company to run my social media (which is a ridiculous thing to do in the first place, I might add) I wouldn't really care that they didnt promote my company on their own social media pages though.

I would want them to be using MY social media accounts to do build up my own following and therefore going after my target audience.

Point is, perhaps they are active, just not on their own pages. Perhaps they are on the pages of the people paying them like they should be?

[Ginge]

Thats going to be an interesting conversation when he suggests Paula shouldnt have a log on for the FB page....

But yes I agree with you really about the ridiculousness of that aspect. Much bigger issues anyway than the FB page that arent being solved unless he walks.

[Ginge]

Chambers Media have their work cut out

Wouldnt you expect a media company to be quite active on social media channels?

Two Tweets since the 16th September, nothing at all since the 7th December.

Last thing they did on FB was change the profile picture...over 6 months ago.

Ben has been advised not to get involved in social media until after the BDO AGM.

Over 5 months away, then. Odd. AGM is the 2nd August....

Social media is a godsend for an organisation such as the BDO. It's free advertising. It's not like they dont understand this with their cyprus/torremolinos spamming for fun. They just do a terrible job with it when it matters most.

The BDO Facebook page is a shambles. The BDO Twitter account hasn't been updated since the Indigo final. But the Instagram page is the saddest of all.

One update during the tournament to say Nick Fullwell had averaged over 90 with the wrong picture on 6th January. Then they couldn't be arsed.

[Wazza180]

What gets lost in all this is that the tournament itself was actually very enjoyable. There were some great games and it was very unpredictable.

Best TV tournament since Lakeside 2018 for me.

Best BDO TV tournament*

There were some great games and it was very unpredictable.

And yet people made a killing predicting a Jacklin whitewash.

I see they got another plug for Northern Cyprus in yesterday morning at 3.24am.....

Are these darting holidays they offer regulated?

[Ginge]

You mean ATOL protected? No, as you are only booking a hotel with them, not a full package. You have to sort your own fights out.

So what happens if the hotel goes tits up?

[Bomber]

surely it's BDO protected though, what more could anyone ask for?

No idea. Had you booked it direct with the hotel on a credit card you would have S75 protection but if there is a middleman....

Which Jacklin is more than capable of.

[Ginge]

Ha, that was a Freudian slip if ever there was one

You tell me, your mate isnt he? Given he is owed £3600 by them and it is down as "disputed" i doubt he will be doing anything for them anytime soon. An idiot for not getting it all up front.
