[imc-oxford-features] Christian Aid event/spam

[owen at riseup.net]

Hi Tom,

It doesn't sound like it would be suitable for a feature (we only normally
do them for issues which are generating quite a few newswire posts). But
if you put the details on the newswire (make sure to tick 'Oxford') then
I'll make sure it gets linked to from the calendar at the top of the
Oxford page.

Hope that helps,

Owen
