Meeting notes from 11 Oct 07

Robert, Nicci, Lola, Leslie & John attended.

Main points discussed:

PROCESS Robert is happy to have us pass on his mobile to interested people: 040 242 9197

VOLUNTEER The role could be split into two:
  • 'hep C educator' (for attending workshops, events etc - needs to have good hep C knowledge) - Lyn Green has agreed to act until we sort out a regular person/s.

  • 'drum manager' (to store, care for and transport drums) ... this could be two different people. The drum manager could also coordinate the drum drive? Need to generate job descriptions and a strategy for the drum drive. Also a flyer.

DRUMS Drummaking was discussed, but all agreed that this would sit better as a community activity next year. Lola and Leslie to meet and discuss a strategy for the drum drive. Need about 20 drums. Nicci to make up a radio promo for distribution. An A4 flyer and an A5 leaflet for handing out have been created for the drum drive (will add to blog soon). Lola and Leslie have created a list of places to approach and to put the leaflets up.

PROMOTION 'Poster Impact' do a poster run for a smallish fee. Investigate - could be used for drum drive and/or recruitment.


LAUNCH Ideal place would be the Multicultural Festival organised by Wesley United - 8th Dec. Festival is noon - 10pm, launch at 3pm. HCCSA and PEACE both having info stalls there anyway. Lola to ask organisers if we can announce the launch of the project on the main stage. Robert would be able to organise a few drummers to attend on the day to do a short performance in the stall.

PROMOTIONS A special meeting for this has been called for Thurs 25 Oct 10 - noon at HCCSA. Will work out a strategy and materials, paying special attention to language and literacy issues.

VENUE Possible venues might be Theatre One at the Parks Community Centre (very affordable and has sound equipment); the Folk Centre (good parking and reasonable to hire); Babanusa African restaurant on Prospect Rd (but may skew the cultural bias?)

Cheers, Nicci
