[ssf] the open evening 17th feb

[Dan]

Hey up,

Update on what's happened with 17th Feb.  After a bit of a 
double-booking nightmare, it's gonna be in

St. Andrews Church Hall at Upper Hanover St.,
7 to 9. 30

(Cheers for sorting that Alice!)

I got posters and flyers re-printed (bum!) (oh - and also dictatorially 
didn't change it, which is what I think Dave wants to bring up at 
Thursday's meeting...)
400 A5 flyers, 100 A4 posters and 50 A3 posters.  I'll bring 'em on 
Thursday.  Anyone else as wants some, contact me.

Is anyone up for a bit of fly-posting?

I agree with Dave: food and music will be definitely a good thing.  Any 
volunteers to make stuff? I might have a go at some houmous...!

So: another thing for agenda - how are we going to structure the meeting 
to get the best from everyone there?

(Another e-mail follows with some thoughts on this...)

Note: some Creative Action Network folk are coming too... cool!  (But no 
lanterns will be made, coz they want to take part on goings on!)

One thing we should definitely have is a brainstorm board: sheets of 
paper for people to write what's happening in the coming year, what they 
want to see happen.

We could also do with a feedback form - 'what worked? What didn't?  How 
often do you think meetings like this should happen?'  (We could do one 
every quarter, with different emphases...)

Other thing for agenda: Burngreave participation day - a thematic 
mini-social-forum.

See ya,

Dan
