MEETING NOVEMBER 5th

Present: Ala, Jennie, Alana, Sandra, Patrick, John, Jens and Jenny.

NEXT MEETING
Wednesday session.

POSTCARD DESIGN
LoTec will make a layout suggestion for the flyers for Thursday. Patrick suggested someone hands over the design material already done = info and text on the exhibition plus the website layout to see if they can interweave some of it in the so it will be coherent with the web page. Sandra goes to LoTec on Tuesday to show material and we still continue working on our own layout in case the group does not find their design suitable.

PRINTING POSTCARDS
Will be printed at Photobox (through Ala) and will be single sided photo paper prints.

FUNDRAISING
Jens and Jenny brought fund raising letter and will go round at University knocking on doors.

selling postcards
Three persons handed in their money today. Everyone needs to bring the money they have got as soon as possible(!) and give it to Jens.
Ala £5
Sandra £4.50
Jennie £ 11.80
= £ 21.30 so far...

FUNDRAISING SUGGESTION
For the record Sandra made a suggestion that we can post a letter to the Flickr group asking the members for donations. Question raised as a response to it was: how do they donate? Might be tricky to get the money. Could this idea be developed more?

ADVERTISING IN HACKNEY PAPER
Alana will compose a letter and post on blog for tomorrow, feedback possibilities until Thursday, deadline is Friday. There still is one more opportunity to advertise in addition to this.

CONTRACT SIGNING
Sandra and John goes to see the venue tomorrow (Tuesday 6th) to get the contract signed. They will suggest that we will be in between 4-8 p.m. every day on the 5th- 9th of December. Suggested opening day, with a bit of celebration involved, is Friday.

VICE CHAIRPERSON
Patrick was elected the vice chairperson of the meetings.

INVITE LETTER
Patrick forwarded that the invite letter draft is made but that Zara has got the file (she was away today). Can it be posted on the blog?

PRICE OF CATALOGUE
Patrick has investigated price of printing catalogue 6 x 9, 4-5 pages to be about £250 for a hundred. The group wants to use lulu (online print on demand). One possibility is to put it up on lulu then print ex. amount of copies for the money we have raised, so we do have a physical catalogue to sell/hand out.

PRINTING PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THE WALLS
Jennie will contact local photo printing businesses to see if we can get photo- prints sponsored by them. It would be convenient to get the material printed every day and put on the walls (boards) gradually. If not we need to come up with other ways to do this, either pay or print ourselves.
