[Reclaimmayday] Stalls update - putting a positive spin on it :)

[Lukas Hornby]

I mentioned Zines to Emily as well. She might be more encouraged knowing

I don't have her contact details. Could the stalls people follow this up?

It's looking good entertainment wise btw. Update to follow at the meeting
tonight :)

Cheers,

Lukas
