Right, it was agreed at the meeting today that we'd do something around the magic roundabout. The trust are always going to be stalled with legal action. But if we can get some banners sorted for Saturday I'm thinking that would be ace. Who has some old sheets and marker pens?

Sorry, but this is wank.
A few people posting on a thread in a forum read by forty or so regulars is not going to get anything organised and certainly no message out to the local/regional/national media for a coordinated protest.
Yeovil is right. This has to be done properly if we are to hit them hard.
This needs leadership and direction.
Yep, slag me off for saying it if you will.
I'm more than happy to make a banner and stand in the middle of the Magic Roundabout with it on Saturday as well. That's kinda my thing anyway.
But it would be more reassuring if I knew that there were going to be another 500 or so people there as well.

I agree Alan. We need numbers now. Not 200 fans behind the arkells stand or 50 people on the magic roundabout with a banner. But a good couple of thosand minimum. You are right, it needs leadership, to be fully advertised and make people aware of the objectives we are trying to achieve.

I was only trying to get the magic roundabout covered with banners. That's all. Nothing else. Other people can plan other stuff. This is just one thing. I'm not saying we shouldn't be doing anything else. |

there's not 500 people on here, least of all at midnight on a monday! I know. But talking about banners to 40 people isn't going to get a message out to the rest of the fan base or (more importantly) to the media - who will tell the rest of the supporters - what is going on. Not unless somebody takes the lead and acts as a focus. The TEF is perfect as a catalyst to do that. It is read by the most activists and is brilliantly fast in communication. Time is something we have very little of (no pun intended). |

There is a group of 300+ people on facebook solely for this purpose. I suggest someone lets them know. I don't do facebook though so I can't.

Wait... so talking about making banners on here won't make any difference yet this is the perfect catalyst?
Get a grip my lovely tight trousered friend.

It's probably also worth mentioning that the Trust are going to investigate the legal aspects of this.
Anyway back on topic so to speak. Anyone else up for making some bannerage on thursday?

I'm up for some Thursday evening bannerage making. The trust are going to be tied up with loads of stuff. I think that covering the magic roundabout in banners is an ace idea. Legal or not.

Yeah, I was just trying to be diplomatic. Fuck diplomacy though comrade.
Thursday evening is good. I expect we can get a few more involved by then (especially when people read tomorrow day time).

Right I've got a cunning plan.
Anyone who's up for this idea please make yourself known. Thursday is officially the TEF make your own banner day. You can do this from the comfort of your own home - it's that easy. Think Neil Buchanan does Art Attack, but far more ace.
Anyway the idea is this - you and some friends make at least one banner. We can organise a time to meet and put said banners up on the magic. If we have at least 5 to start (one facing each road) then we're good. Any more is pure aceness and I fully expect this.
We need to decide what sort of thing to put on the banners so if people have a variety of good concise suggestions it'll be good. This could really work as people don't need to be together the whole time.
