[Committee] Poster

[S.J. Stretton]

Hi everyone,
Just a short message to say that I have been on the phone to the police and
we may have to change the timings of the event. They mentioned that there
was another protest happening between 1 and 4pm, which would both avoid us
getting our message accross and also make policing difficult.
It sounds like we may have to move our event; to either 11-1pm or 4-6pm. If
we go for the earlier slot then there is a bus at 8:30 (sleep on bus!) which
will get there in good time.
We just need to inform the main camlist and facebook and anyone else.
I spoke to Mechi and Marc and we suggest we sell coach tickets in King's bar
tomorrow from 1pm onwards.
