One way of looking at this recession is that basically we’re all doomed, the world will stop turning and nobody will ever buy anything again, ever! Fair enough I suppose but that isn’t the only perspective one can take.
People will adjust to the new reality. Children will continue to be born (in fact I think birth rates go up during recessions!) . They will have birthdays and communions and go to school. Parents will always want to give the best to their kids and teachers will continue to teach and need help and support in doing so.
We have never been busier! Come and join us. I really think it’s a great time to take control of your own destiny.

We are thrilled to have formed a relationship with Ulster Bank whereby they will lend 70% of the cost of our franchise to our potential francisees. This effectively means that someone could be up and running for less than €230 a month. Maybe you’ve just got or are thinking of taking the ‘package’ from work. This could be the window of opportunity you’ve been waiting for. It’s a decision that really could change your life.

We were delighted and surprised (we have only been franchising 18 months) to get down to the last three in the recent Irish Franchise Association awards. Unfortunately, we didn’t win this time but I very happy to say we had great craic and a bit of a dance in the big smoke!

We would like to extend a very warm welcome to Gerry Wynne, our latest member of the Kids Party Club family. In fact, having recently completed his training, he did his first party last week and the feedback from the customer was great. Well done Gerry - no going back now!

For no reason, other than to spread a little good news on the business front, we are happy to say that we have never been busier with our party and educational shows. Obviously the new year will be difficult for everyone, with most commentators predicting lenghtening dole queues, but the indications are that people will continue to spend a reasonable amount on quality party entertainment. Schools too, will continue to use professional outside help, allbeit on limited resources, to help them deliver the SPHE curriculum and other tricky topics. Our challenge is to make our offering to them very useful and very relevant. We are hoping that teachers will provide us with a lot of useful feedback, opinion and guidance on this blog.

Obviously we provide entertainment in the home or your chosen venue (local hall etc.) but what do most people prefer? Is it easier or better value or whatever, to go to the local activity centre or McD or Supermacs or bowling alley? Love to hear your opinions.

With all the competition for childrens spare time the poor old book needs a hand. We have a lovely show aimed at getting the kids interested in reading but what else can we do at school or at home to get them to put the XBox down and pick up Treasure Island?

We have a lovely show on this subject - you can see the details on the main site - but we’d love to create a really big back end to this with a repository of your common sense ideas, tips and recipies. Go on - let fly!

I’m interested in kicking off a discussion on the finer points - if I can use that expression - of bullying today. Our existing show on the topic adequately covers the middle ground but in the margins we understand that bullying via text, IM, social network sites like Bebo and prank calling are becoming an increasing problem. How prevalent is this?
