9. A.O.B.
MP discussed the publicity day.  He stated that although the day took considerably more planning and organisation than he had expected, and that only MP and AD had been able to man the event, it had still been a success.  However, a number of lessons had been learned, including:

1)	choosing the best position within the car park for best visibility.
2)	Erect flags and sandwich boards to attract attention.  MP suggested that REVCOM develop a database of photographs to help create these sandwich boards, and to help keep them current.  GS offered to host the database but would need people to contribute.
3)	Be ‘louder’.  Talk to people as they pass as MP and AD had the opinion that although people were curious, they were unwilling to approach and ask questions.

MP stated that although he would not be able to man every publicity day, if members wanted to hold one, he would be happy to do the organising for them.

Date, Time and Place of Next Meeting: 1st September 2002 at 10:30hrs at the Exhall Old School, Exhall.
