Hi y'all, this has just come through from the National Loop.
My proposal is that we buy the DVD 36 pounds including postage, recouping
the cost through sustained screenings. (it's a double package including
Drowned Out - McLibel isn't sold separately for overseas purchases). If
there's no dissent by this time next week, shall I do it?
Because this screening proposal started on the National loop, with the idea
that we could use the screening to raise the profile of indymedia etc. it's
probably best to hold off organising any Ak screening until we know what
people in the other IMCs want to do nationally - is that okay?
Thoughts, ideas, proposals?
