[Cc-webedit] [climatecampoutreach] RE: [cc-socialmedia] minutes from External Comms call

[Jonathan Stevenson]

I think go for 19-25 August for the stickers as that's what's now 
everywhere else. (26th is a mistake I think)

Jono's got a fair point about the process re: the Facebook event. The 
situation as we found it on the call last night was that the newspaper 
and the leaflet (as I understand it) have gone with 19-25 August, so it 
was more a case of making everything else match up with things that 
couldn't be changed. The call was advertised as the chance to get 
everything to co-ordinate with everything else, so it's reasonable that 
a decision would have come out of it. But we should probably have eg. 
given it 24 hours on the list for feedback, so we could talk it through 
and people are able to participate.

I personally think it's better that the topline date is the outer limit 
of the dates, and that when you click through for details you get the 
three chunks as Hannah says. Maybe we can message the people who have 
been invited so far on Facebook to explain the change? And have info 
about booking transport asap? (And info on possible group transport 
which eg. London is looking into?) Something for the Social Media list 
to take forward?
