<P><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff size=2>Hi everybody</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Tahoma
color=#0000ff size=2>Two good pieces of publicity so far, one on Indymedia <A
href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/birmingham/">http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/birmingham/</A> by
Shiar and the other on Friction TV by Majid.</FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Tahoma
color=#0000ff size=2>Majid picked up the publicity for the sleep-out on the
Indymedia website and came up from London especially to film the vigil and
sleep-out. I think he did an excellent job of making the video, and the
political points were well made. For those of you who couldn't join us that
night, you can see a bit of what you missed in both
reports.</FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff>The quality was good but the
general turnout from supporters was pretty poor compared with last year. This
year about 50 max during the evening and just 9 sleeping out. Last year
about 150 during the evening and 25 sleeping out. Not a criticism, just an
observation. </FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff>ARC would very much like to find
out why the turnout was down to help us make improvements for next year. One
reason may be the fact that Refugee Week started the very next morning whereas
previous years have had the sleep-out starting well clear of the start of
Refugee Week.</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>So, how about sharing what you
think? You can use ARCwm groups to reply to this message or post a message or
question of your own. <BR></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Hope to hear from you
soon<BR></FONT></FONT></P>
