1. 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.

2. 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.
