[HacktionLab] Poster logistics (Was: Ideas for posters?)

Tue Apr 18 11:40:03 UTC 2023

Thanks for response @Naomi, I see what you mean there's no need for 
hundreds of flyers.

Shall we assemble a proper list of venues where to display posters?

- and do others want posters mailing out to be displayed in other parts 
of UK/wherever?

I didn't expect to find venues with space for posters as large as A3, 
sometimes even A4 is too large,but I guess I was thinking about crowded 
notice boards in shops etc. - in fact for these we can easily run off a 
few A5 size at home anyway. Actually thinking about it, we could do A4 
and A3 without paying commercially, if it's only 20 copies ...

The company I mentioned, 
*http://www.mensaprinters.com/Printing_Prices.html* would charge a lot 
for small quantities like that:

A4 £14 for 25

A3 £15 for 25

*So I would* *NOT suggest* we pay that: instead I could get a small 
amount like this printed in return for a small donation to expenses (say 
£5?), probably on Thursday, ready to distribute on Friday if that sounds 
OK?

Responses/discussion welcome, thanx for reading,

Regards,

JC
