Postering
- There has been some confusion as to who should be designing posters.
- Would Sarah (FYR) like to design the posters for Outweek?
- Focus on putting posters up in academic buildings rather than first year residences.
- Try postering at bus stops.
Event planning
- Try to have another all-ages/beer garden joint event.
- The first event of the year was a joint event and had the largest attendance. Although attendance does tend to drop off later in the year, numbers might increase if we do another joint event.
