So I go out as normal to my regular Thursday night dance (Fleet for those of you who are interested) and when I come out I find my car has been leafleted. Not a big thing there are always promoters for Clubs and Bars putting flyers on cars so didn't think too much of it - would have been better if I'd noticed it before I started driving home though.
I read the flyer when I remove it only to see that it's a flyer for a dance event held by a new local independent (I have nothing against independents before I get flamed - I started at one - and there are no problems with the regular local ones). The venue it's advertising isn't even the same one that's been leafleted and it's on a different night this is where I have an issue. So the promoter has driven the 30 mins from the venue they're advertising to the largest venue in the area and purposefully leafleted cars parked around the venue.
I thought there was an unwritten rule that you just don't do this. Fair enough when it comes to advertising and promoting locally and leafleting through doors etc. but promoting your event at other peoples venues when there is no connection and no permission asked is just plain rude!
The plot thickens further as apparently the same person went to another local well established venue which is on the same night that they are promoting and was handing out leaflets to people in the venue!
I thought this type of thing happening had died a death quite some time ago.
