Not brilliant Jen!

Only two of us showed up, one was tied up on the other side of town
and one backed out late on.

So far all the publicity done has been on the internet, I've now
started to put leaflets out around the place as well. 'Shout' never
carried the press release I sent them. I've subsequently been told
that they are not the best on the organisation front, and hopefully it
should be in the issue due out next week.

Yesterday I got an email from the wonderful Rachel at the excellent
Equity partnership in Bradford. I had asked them whether they had an
money spare so we could do some nice fliers, but they now say they
have some available, I think we have to go there at some point and
somebody will help with the design.

They've already offered the place for free at weekends and they made
me do a radio interview for Bradford Community Radio, that's BCB 96.7
FM I think it goes out next Sun from 4PM On Equity LGBT hour show.

I've contacted some student groups by email also.


So I've done plenty so far but I think I need to work at little harder
to get people to come out and play!

So the next meeting is in 2 weeks time on Wed 14 Nov at the Art Cafe
Bar, 62 Call Lane, Leeds (down from Duncan St) from 7.30PM onwards.

Come on down!
