[ssf] Re: Announcements...

Wed Feb 23 20:32:55 GMT 2005

Hey up,

What I thought it was, was a two-weekly bulletin, so that people would 
know what was happening in the coming month  - giving people the 
deadline of the Thursday meeting to get events to the bulletin.

But for this one - sorry, yes, I don't mean to threaten others' work. 

An SSF announcement list *does* already exist - see the announcements 
sign-up here:

http://www.sheffieldsocialforum.org/contacts.htm

That's what I thought we'd send out on?

If there are others to send out to also, we can do both of these 
things.  And if you want to get it out on the announcements list, send 
me a copy and I'l do it - and then at some point get you into the 
announcement list.

Eek, isn't e-mail a bit poo for this kind of thing!

And sorry - I'm really busy just at the minute, and through to next 
Wednesday! 

love

Dan
