Hey Guys,
A great thanks to all of you that came to the meeting, it would not be possible without you all! Stop AIDS Week is approaching fast and is going to be amazing for all those involved!
The Stop AIDS training evening (Monday)
Next Monday we have a Stop AIDS training evening where a trainer will be coming to give advice about HIV/AIDS issues, campaigning, fundraising, and generally to give us a better understanding of how we can make a difference! This will be held on Mon in the Function Suite at the Union (left at reception, up the stairs and door on right) at 7.30pm!
Stalls group (Monday — Friday next week)
The completed timetable for the people who are manning and baking for the stalls is on the World AIDS Day 2007 page.
A list of what we should have on each stall:
- Elephunk Raveyard tickets
- Balloon Race tickets
- Posters/Flyers for the Club Night and the Balloon Race
- Campaigns cards
- Collection Boxes
- Red Ribbons
- Cakes
- Shag Bags?
We are also going to sell cakes to 4th year medics in their seminar groups, contact Alison for their timetable.
Publicity (Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th)
Start distributing flyers from Monday next week at Castle Leazes, Marris House, Richardson Road, outside the Union and wherever you think necessary.
Anyone can help with distributing the flyers, the more people we have the better! You can collect flyers from the Union. If you go to the 1st floor, take a right, walk to the end of the corridor and you will find them in the Stop AIDS folder in the pigeon hole marked ‘S’.
Shout outs in lectures starting a couple of days before WHQ Night. Inform people of World AIDS day, WHQ Club Night, drink promotions, live bands including the date, time, ticket price/places of purchase. Make it sound exciting as we want as many people as possible to come along!
We are looking for people to do flyer this Saturday night outside WHQ, any volunteers? Contact Alison.
WHQ Night (Wednesday 28th)
Everyone has been given tickets to sell to their friends (£3 each) this week and if there are any remaining tickets (preferably not) could you bring to the training evening on Monday or take them to the stalls.
We have decided that the condom fairies purchase their own set of wings and please buy ‘white’ ones. They only cost a few pounds from Magic Box. The rest of the costume is being decided by Claire, please email ku.ca.lcn@dleifohcs.erialc.leahcar.
The condom fairies/kings will be given collection tins, condoms and red ribbons on Wednesday at 7.30pm in the Union (first stop of bar crawl).
The people who have volunteered to help Alison with the set up of WHQ night are Andy C, Emma, Harriet, Amy and Steve. Please meet Alison at 10pm at WHQ!
Balloon Race (Friday 30th at 1pm)
We will be selling balloon tickets on all of the stalls and we need to encourage people to buy the tickets by telling them when and where they can get them from. They can get them from the Union or Medical School stalls between 11-2pm.
The people who have volunteered to help out on the day of the balloon race are Freyja, Sarah, Claire, Andy, Steve and Andy C, it would be good to arrive an hour or so before the Balloon Race to get things organised.
The cash prize is £30 and the balloon that has travelled the greatest distance will be the winner.
Any expenses you have as result of organising World AIDS Week or WHQ then please keep receipts and give them to Tony or put the receipts in an envelope and leave in the Stop AIDS folder in the Union.
Also can those of you that have collected Stop AIDS hoodies please bring the money on Monday night or as soon as you can.
Best of luck everyone and let’s get the ball rolling!
Love
The Committee
