1. Press
Thanks to Claire Will for all her help with this!

Two things: we will need to get press releases and contacts sorted for the launch itself; and will be (CAN willing) using the Lantern Parade as a photo opportunity / press opportunity for the SSF.

So need to get two press releases written – one as a photo opportunity, done in conjunction with CAN one as straight press release.

Also: write letters to the Star. They print them! But best if not as an actual member of the SSF… ‘What Sheffield needs is more people like that lovely SSF lot I met the other day…’

We now have a list of contacts for papers and radio, which will need following up.

As regards the ‘photo opportunity’, there are two things to do:

1. the ‘photo opportunity’ press release to:

Dennis.lound@sheffieldnewspapers.co.uk (Might be lounds)

He’s in charge of the photographic dept. for Sheffield Newspapers – which means Star, Telegraph and Yorkshire Post.

Also, Chris Lawton, photographer for Yorkshire Post. He’s also based at Sheffield office. Chris.lawton@ypn.co.uk

2. If someone has a 300dpi (at least) digital camera, we can take our own photos and send them in as a photo opp, if no journo / photographers turn up to Lantern festival themselves.

Send this to the newsdesk.

List of contacts and associated deadlines: I'll post this up shortly - I don't have access to the e-mail with the details in at the moment!

FOLLOW UP LAUNCH – let the press know what happened on the day; try to get press to come along and speak to people. Connecting Sheffield to Mumbia could be an idea.

2. Posters and Flyers
Get posters and flyers to the following: People we have contacted – post them or drop them off. At least a selection of the places on the list that Claire gave us - This is: A list of all places that WILL take flyers. Should save us a lot of time!

And of course, get ‘em pasted up.

TWO TYPES OF POSTER:

1. The ones Kev’s doing 2. One that’s a simple black n white motif, that can then be blown up to A2 and combined with a stencil (that matches the printed motif / text) and spray paint – to make for posters that really stand out around town!

Stencils / subvertising – there’s of course also the option of using this to spread the word.
