Celebration of Event and Launch of Book and DVD
Location: Lincolnshire
Book and dvd launch Launch
Celebration of Event
 What can we say! Stupendous: overwhelming. The people of the Parish came literally in their hundreds to the Leverton Leisure Centre on the evening of the 23 April 2004. We would say; almost the entire population of the Village came and gave us their backing. Not only the Parish of Leverton but people from neighbouring parishes too showed their interest in our village project.
We were delighted, to say the least, with their response – they proved their earlier enthusiasm by their presence at the Celebration of Event. Old friends who hadn’t seen one another for 50 or 60 years sat with their books open discussing photographs and entries. You could say it was a book and dvd launch and a school reunion rolled into one event. Excellent!
We haven’t had one single dissenting voice concerning our project – more, phone calls offering congratulations. All this enthusiasm and response makes all those hours of research: formatting: editing: cutting – copying and pasting all worth while, and thoughts already turn to future projects we have discussed.
Having successfully completed a project our advice to any group considering taking on community work would be: plan carefully: work diligently: offer commitment and dedication and you will reap ample rewarded from your community.
In conclusion.
Our experience of producing work of this kind - a book and a dvd of filmed footage - was very limited, so it was an ambitious undertaking requiring an enormous amount of focus and dedication from all our Group members also, during the project a certain amount of training in some areas was called for, and duly undertaken.
Every member must be dedicated to bringing the project to a successful conclusion and having achieved that, it is a wonderfully satisfying feeling when, after many months of working closely together your project ends with your community congratulating you on a worthwhile job, well done.
Good luck to you all in whatever project you undertake.
The Leverton History Group.
