Hello Group 8,I've added to your group late due to complications with my selection into the CMP course, I can explain next time we meet. I apologise if I havent been able to make the meetings or been able to supply any additional information due to this inconvenience, I will hopefully make it up to you.I am a writing student and will assist in that area wherever necessary.Please update me where possible and I will attempt to slot in...Thanks and looking forward to working with you,Warrick Smith

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:26:51
Hey guys,Here are all the contact details for all the people in our littlefolder. Keep them with you or maybe print them out just so you havethem all together.See you next week and enjoy the weekend!x,Sas Posted on blog

Hi guysThis is an urgent call for anyone who is available to go to Vukani tomorrow at 9am, where Mr Nikelo (Tavern owner) has just informed me there will be a march of Vukani residents (and I imagine some Fingo residents, too) from Vukani township to the court. He mentioned that they were protestign about the man who has committted multiple murders, but also said that they are going to demand that two men who are currently in custody be released, though I wasn;t able to get the finer details from him.Is there anyone (esp TV/radio/photo) who is able to go to this march? I have a tut at 9.35, which I can try to get out of if absolutely neccessary, but if there is anyone else available, that would be great. I am thinking this would be a great opportunity for one of the audio slideshows or for a bit of the documentary. perhaps we ought to capture it for both just in case. Can we start bookingout equipment now? Matt and Rich, I will get a camera and directional mike booked; can one of you film?Please can we get this sorted asap!Robs

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:46:58
I will available between 8 and 10:30pm tomorrow, I and Rich can film. The Plan would be to go there lets say, 8:30 Before the March starts so that we have time to chat to Mr Nikelo. Please forward me the contacts for Nikelelo.It will nice opportunity for voks pops and also good visuals for our doccie.How many of us available to go, please kindly indicate soon !Matthew

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:05:39
Ja i can make it. See you guys at the lec just now.Richard
Hey guys,I have the same tut at 9.35.SJa i can make it. See you guys at the lec just now.Saskia

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:15:25
Hey guys,I can go into Vukani tom I just dont have a car so would need someone whocan drive me to come with me!Let me know what the plan is,Tara (photo)

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:22:28
I would be happy to go tomorrow morning but I am also without a car... I cant make the lecture today though as I have an important meeting..Let me know the plans and lets do it!Warrick (Writing)

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:43:04
Mr Michael Nikelo: 073 538 2568. Nikelo's Tavern, the Vukani group went to it last week. If the group meets him at his tavern before (8:30ish), he will take us to where the march is leaving from.Quoting matthew

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:45:52
Hey guysI ALSO have a tut tomorrow at 9.35, but I will email my lecturer and ask if I can miss it by any chance cause i agree thats an awsome photo opportunity.See you in the lecture just now...

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:15:04
hi guysfor everyone who needs a lift to Vukhani i am leaving from the AMM at 8:20 in time to meet at the tavern at 8:30.In response to Matthew, there are going to be two meetings this week, one on wednesday (which i dont know much about) and one on thursday. after our discussion at the tut last week i was under the impression that the Fingo and Vukhani meetings would be seperate and have accordingly arranged a small meeting with some members of the Vukhani CPF members on Thursday at 14:30. at the mo i think its just me and MC attending but it would be much better if more people come... for those who cant make the march tomorrow, the meeting will give you chance to find out more about the murder trial and the march.awesomeness.c you guys soon!Quoting nicola

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:32:07
Hi guys,As I said before, I won't be able to make it to the march tomorrow. I was also under the impression there was another meeting on Thursday, so I will be attending that along with Lisa and MC.Lisa, should we just meet at the AMM around 2 on Thursday then?Laea.

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:38:39
ja thats cool, will leave from the amm at about 2:15 for those of you who wana come.Quoting laea

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:31:19
Matthew, I don't have contact details for any of those people so I can't confirm anything, and it is still unclear to me what exactly we're confirming because as far as I know, no one has confirmed the venue or the time.This can't keep going like this where everyone just assumes everyone else is doing everything. When something needs to happen; it needs to be clear exactly who is taking responsibility for doing it.But I agree with Saskia that we should go at 3 and if need be, we'll find another venue.Meet at the AMM at 2:30?

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:48:52
I am making confirmation for the attendance of the focus group and sample group. I have tried the ward councillor and Ntombizodwa but they are not picking up. I think they are attending the court case today. I will keep on trying.Quoting kathryn

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:01:39
Got hold of the Sector Manager Inspector, she promised to be there at 3pm today. I have left messages to the councillor and the other resident. But I will continue to give them a call today before the actual time.Quoting matthew

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:20:44
Got hold Monde and Ntomizodwa Staki, they are to bring 3-4 other active community members to Luvuyo Hall at 3pm.Now I am hunting for the councillor.Who are going to this meeting. Confirm

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:24:01
Hi all, I'm really not sure what's going on. Are just the group members that organised Fingo going or is it all of us? I'm afraid I have a compulsory prac from 2pm until 5 today anyway so I won't be able to make it. I'm really sorry, there's no way of missing it, I'll lose my DP. Let me know if there's anything I can do to make up for that. Otherwise I'll see the Vukani people tomorrow outside the AMM at 2, right?Laura

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:25:33
The councillor was in a meeting in the Municipality. She finally picked up andagreed to take part , she also promised to open for us Luvuyo Hall at 3pm. So all set and ready to go

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:57:16
Are we all attending this meeting today? I have a lecture at 4, also I was going to go to the meeting tomorrow with the Vukani people? I thought we were going to split up and do 2 focus groups so if we go to one do we have to go to the other?Nicky

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:25:59
just to let everyone know the meeting at vukhani has been moved from 230 to 2 so i will leave from the amm at 145.also we have NOT split up into groups...Tara we have not heard from you about attending anything and there were no photographers at thursdays meeting!!!!ok see you guys tom..lisa

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:42:17
Hi guys,Lisa, I will meet you at the AMM between 1:30 and 1:45 tomorrow.See you then.Laea.

ARRESTS/COMMUNITY MEETING/PENDING POLICE INVESTIGATIONS/HOSTILE SITUATION IN VUKANIIts seems to me that the was mis-communication between the organisers of focus group and the Liziwe (CPF) member there. The meeting was at Vukani was a community meeting not for sampling or focus group purposes. On our arrival in Vukani, we visisted Nikelo's Tavern. We were told that Nikelo was arrested yesterday after the march for attempted murder. He is due to appear in Magistrate tomorrow. His right hand man was leading the community meeting, which I must compared to the march , it was well attended. Note that he introducted himself to the community, his name , surname, street, house and also told them why he and Nikelo had called the meeting. It must be then submitted that neither Nikelo or his right hand man are community leaders or CPF. We were further informed that about 3 other suspects have been arrrested this morning on basis of theft, mugging. Note also Nikelo was pending case of an Assault GBH, that means assaulting with an intention to kill.In the meeting, it was clear that people kept on asking about who were CPF members and how were they elected. But they were told by the righ hand man that there was a CPF in existence.Also,the right hand man said that an MP from Parliament was to join them, which I think he was playing with people. As a result he did not arrive.Well things are still to unfold during the course of this weekend. We need a focus in this all situation, we need to come up with the theme.Therefore for now we have one focus group, there focus group done in Fingo involving the counsillor, SAPS sector manager, CPF members, Community Development worker and concerned members of the community. A very insightful meeting, which identified the roots of crime in the area, and also outlined the wayforward.What then from now.Matthew

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:58:52
Hi everyoneI am SO SO sorry i didnt come to the Vukani meeting - i had a huge dilemma cause i took my friend to pe in her car and on my way back the car broke down!! so i was stuck there and not able to get back in time....i really am so sorry about this! and i didnt have anyones number to tell them except laura! so dunno if she passed the message on? sorry guys but i had no control over that... i think we should send round an email with everyones numbers?i agree that we need to meet and discuss a theme or whatever, so should be not do it before our meeting with casper on fri because we need to show him what our theme was? i realise i need to 'catch up' for missing the meeting so if you guys just let me know how i can be of use i will gladly do it!!so sorry about that guys i will make it up i promise!nickyp.s i got some awsome photos of the protest on wed so at least thats something!

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:10:23
Just an hour ago, I have been informed by one of the cleaning staff in my res that yesterday, they could not sleep because there was heavy march on the streets making threats to people who do not attend meetings. Threats were made that their homes were to be burned down. Nomaledi(cleaning staff) said to me they do not want to be part of these meetings, because their kids will be in danger, and will be caught in fight between Ayanda and Nikelo.On stand-by in the Magistrate court is reporter Robyn and Richard (TV) ,radio ( MC) and I am not sure with the other specialisation. They are covering Nikelo's court appearance and possibly Nikelo's release sometime today. They are also to give us a brief outlook on the petition or memorandum of demands drawn by the community. When I say community I do not know what I mean.We will meet for De-brief in the afternoon today.Matt

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:49:14Hey guys,Sounds like things are picking up! just wanted to apologise for notbeing around this week, I have a huge year long zoology project that isrunning at the moment and i had a bit of a problem with it last week soneeded to sort that out so that it didnt mess it up for the rest of theterm. And then this weeknd i had an opportunity to go up to JHB for aninterview regarding what i want to do next year and this was the onlyweekend i could come here! i really am really sorry and promise to make itup to you guys when i get back! I dont mind doing extras to catch up what imissed, anything, just let me know!Look forward to meeting up again and hearing all the latest!Have an excellent weekend!Tara

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:25:01
Hi Saskia/allYou guys need to decide how you want different stories to be covered on thedifferent platforms.So yes, there will have to be some colour piece writing etc.Rope in the designers to conceptualise pages with writers and photographers- this whole project (for print at least) should be collaborative and notproduction line driven.Remember that I am always/kinda always available to discuss your project, ifyou need help with any aspect.Casper

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:28:06
Quoting Shalen Gajadhar :I think the soundslides team, we need 2 meet either 2nyte or 2morrow morning b4 we go to Fingo n Vukani. To discuss our story ideas and how we going 2 shape them to produce soundlides. This is just a suggestion guys let me know.

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:51:11
Hi guys,What is the plan for tomorrow? Should we just meet outside the AMM around 2 as usual so we have some time to talk/plan?Laea.

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 10:44:29
Hi Saskia and Laea,I'm so sorry but i wont be able to attend the lecture today at 2pm because my laptop has just crashed in a massive way and i've been spending my morning trying to get it sorted out and trying to find out whether or not i have most of my stuff backed up! I really dont need this right now but I'm sure you can imagine that i'm stressing in a huge way... I hope you guys understand and will be able to cover for me...Thanks alot,Warrick

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 13:21:08
Hi guys,I have arranged to meet Liziwe tomorrow at 2 to do an interview with her in Vukani. Unfortunately she was not available in the morning, so I was wondering if anyone is available to drive out there around 1:45, and if any photographers are available to come along?Nicky, since I'm only doing the interview at 2, I won't need to go with you in the morning, but thanks for the offer!Please let me know as soon as possible if anyone is available at 1:45 tomorrow to come along.Thanks,Laea.

Mon, 5 Oct 2009 09:18:08
Hi Sarah/allTomorrow you will present your ideas verbally in a very informal manner,i.e. from where you are sitting with your group.TV/Radio are being asked to bring snippets of what has been filmed, but Iknow that print production is different.Will be weird to ask people to bring word documents of first drafts ofstories - so really just a follow up on what was said on Friday, after yourweekend/today deliberations.Of course, I will remind designers that I want a production timeline forprint outputs.Will send this out in a targeted email to the design students.regards

Mon, 5 Oct 2009 09:29:24
Hi allAlette sent this out to her TV students, but I think you all should readthis as its relevant across media:Consider the following approaches for framing the story:. Do you want your story to convey basic information about something that ishappening/has happened? If so, why is it important to cover this happening?Why is it important now? What are people most likely to remember about it?Was it an isolated event or a step in a long process? If it was part of aprocess, what is important about that process? What place does this eventhave in the history of the community? What's the next step in the process?. Do you want your story to inform people about a pressing issue thataffects them? If so, why is this issue important? What will people be ableto do with the information you provide? What reaction do you want people tohave to this story? How can you tell the story in a way that makes that kindof process likely? Is the process you want to initiate the most constructiveprocess for the community to deal with this issue at this point in time?. Do you want your story to educate people about a problem or process theyseem to not understand as well as they should? If so, why is it importantfor them to understand this problem or process? Is it something they canhave an impact on? What do they need to know to affect what happens?. Do you want your story to engage people in a tale of human triumph ortragedy? If so, what good will it do to tell the story? What kind of emotiondo you want the story to evoke? If you decide to present the people in thisstory as characters in a drama, will it require that you exaggerate theirstrengths, weaknesses, thoughts, actions and reactions? Will this storyraise questions about anyone's integrity? If so, have they done somethingthat merits raising those questions?PROFILES: This could take the form of video profiles of people in theneighbourhood who have to confront particular problems related to the themeof the group, or who have come up with especially interesting possiblesolutions. Video is a strong medium to convey human emotions and realities,which make people focused stories a good option. People like watching peopleand find it interesting to talk about this. The challenge is finding asubject that results in people discussing their shared problems, not thepeculiarities of someone else.CONTEXT BASED DOCUMENTARIES: You could also produce issue baseddocumentaries in which you talk to a variety of people about the underlyingreasons for some of the problems faced by the community. Here the challengeis how to make it visual and provide a strong narrative plot so it does notbecome too abstract. Some groups have found strong contextual themes interms of architecture and geography, others in history. Can you help yourfocus group see the big picture?MONTAGES OF VOX POPS: These may be interesting to produce in reaction toanother story, for example a series of vox pop of young people who have justwatched a profile of a gangster their age. Although not that excitingvisually, these kind of stories allow the beginning of conversations todevelop, stimulating further conversation in other groups where these voicesmay seldom be heard. For example in your focus group meeting of thecommunity, young people may find it very difficult to raise their opinions.This kind of insert put these on the agenda.NON-JOURNALISTIC MATERIAL: You are also allowed in addition to at least onefactual story (profile or doccie), to produce videos which would not beviewed as 'public journalism' since they are not journalistic, such as PSAs,How to Videos or Music Videos. These can be particularly powerful to engageviewers who may not be that comfortable with journalistic 'newsy' media likeyoung people. Shalen Gajadhar (Casper)

Hi GuysHave you read Eitan's email? I was thinking a person from each specialisation can send me a brief description of what they have been working on, then I will just put it together to send back to Eitan? Please do this before 12pm tomorrow?Shot guysNicky

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:25:06

Hi GuysHere is a copy of the email I send to Eitan about what we've been working on if you want to see it.See you at the lectureNix________________________________________________________________________________Hi EitanThese are the various projects we have been working on.WRITERSA flier and a poster both explaining emergency procedures, on what to do when in danger or threated by crime.Another poster showing legitimate CPF membersA brochure explaining the community's rightsA profile piece on Liziwe (a CPF member in Vukani)An article on the march to the magistrate's courtTVWe have completed one of our 2 minute documentaries around the issue of the community's reaction to crime in Vukani. This is in Xhosa, and we hope to play in in class, and for the community in Vukani at a meeting they will be holding on the 11th of October to spark debate around solutions to the problems raised in the clip. WE have been to interview the family of one of our main players in the family feuds and got great information from that. WE are going tomorrow to film the other side's story, and we are going to put these two together with the aim of showing the two stories to the two sides. Neither sound aggressive, and so we hope that after this 'communication' via the films, they will talk about their issues and hopefully move towards some kind of understanding, which will mean they ought to stop killing each other!RADIO/PHOTOWe have put together some audio and pictures from the march we covered - this will form part of our first audioslide on how the Vukani community is affected by the animosity between the 2 families. Our second story is a work in progress, we are going to have to change our original idea about the mother figure affected by her son's crime because we were not able to find someone willing to talk to us openly. We did speak to one elderly woman but she didn't give us much to work with and I could sense she was highly uncomfortable throughout the interview.Many ThanksNicky (Group 8)

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:15:25
MorningIt is vital that by Thursday, we should know about the outputs that we have produced. Friday, we need to book out projectors, and so forth for the meeting over the weeked. In this meeting we will showing them our outputs. This meeting is on Sunday , 11 October.I was thinking of touching base with the key stareholders today, to make sure the organisation is underway. Who is going to the township today.Give me call, Matthew - 073 5915104

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:07:48
Hey SasYou dont need to send me a copy, maybe just bring it along to the lecture and you can show it if you need to! i think the TV ppl are just going to show their 2 minute thing anyway.Thanks though!!Nix

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:26:19
Hi guys,For those of you coming to Vukani tomorrow afternoon, I think we should meet at at the AMM at 1:45. We are meeting Siya and Liziwe at 2.See you guys then.Laea.

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:37:21
We could probably get a projector from the journ dept, otherwise, we could get one from the SRC - we could book it out under the ROAR society account if it comes to that?Kathx

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:30:51
Matt: When do we need the projector for so we can book it out?

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:20:24
Hi writers and designers,I've had a talk with Laura about what needs to be done in terms of print for this project. Our plan is basically the same as what we talked about last week.This is what we have (in the process of having):Brochure - explaining the rights of community members (Saskia has done this)Flier - Emergency procedures (Saskia is working on this?)Poster 1 - Emergency procedure (the same content as the flier)Poster 2 - members of the CPF (we will have to get the photographers involved in this)news magazine - this will include our articles. (I am working on a profile piece on Liziwe, and maybe a feature on Nikelo and his family, Warrick, are you doing a piece on the march?)We are holding our community meeting this Sunday, where we need to present material. The tv students are showing stuff and soundslides are going to be played as well. I think if we can at least get the fliers and the brochures done by then, that will be fine. The Emergency poster would also be great, but I understand that takes time. Once we hold the meeting on Sunday, we can spend next week finishing off everything else.We have our specialisation meetings tomorrow at 2, so I think we should all get together afterwards to talk about all this.Hope this all made sense guysSee you tomorrowLaea.

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 11:36:49
I sure, Robs will today book out a working projector, Richard a camera,Matthew, Robs and Richard to make sure the sound for the insert is proper.Writing will have by today translated their stories.Soundslides to be used in the meeting are just about to be finished.Now, we talked to the police yesterday, I just need to make a call for confirmation.Now : Mrs Fuku says she wants to meet with us today at 2:30 before the meeting to make sure that at least we have more governmental departments coming.Can someone drive me to Mrs Fuku at the specified time, LISA OR NICKY OR ANYONE ELSE.It is vital that we meet Mrs Fuku because she is key and holds keys to the community hall.What is happening about the poster, is it done, when is the A2 printing taking place. Will it be ready by Sunday.Matt

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 12:38:37
hii tried to contact liziwe about the meeting to ask her to bring all the cpf members to the meeting, but it rings like twice and then goes dead. i think she is hanging up on me. could someone who has siya's number please try getting hold of him and then reply to this thread so that it can be confirmed that he has been contacted.matt i shall meet you at the amm at 220. if you have already made other plans for transport let me know on 0827875207.lisa

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 12:57:43
Hi,Siya's number is 073 1311 399. I am not sure what the exact arrangements for the meeting on Sunday are, so if someone else can call him? Otherwise someone can fill me in and I'll call him later this afternoon.In terms of the poster, I don't think it will be done by Sunday. We are aiming to get the fliers done by then so we can hand them out. The designers can give more information about that.We have our specialisation meetings today at 2, so I think we should all meet outside the AMM when those are done.Laea.

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:43:04
Hi writers and designers,Here is my piece on Liziwe (attached). Writers are more than welcome to read through it and edit if they want to. I will get a translation done as soon as possible.See you guys just now.Laea. Posted on blog

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 00:13:42
Hey everyoneI am really really sorry but I cannot physically make tomorrow. I have paste-up for Activate and there is no way on earth I can make it - the paper has to go to print on Monday. We have been working our butts off trying to get enough done in time for me to be able to knock off but we've been ridiculously short-staffed and are running behind schedule. I'm so sorry :( Kathryn and I have split up all the design work. I handed in our web banner for grocotts to Casper already and have been working on the brochure for next week like we discussed. I really don't know what else I am humanly capable of doing right now on top of putting the paper together. Once again, I apologise profusely. I really did try and plan this in advance but didn't know that we'd have such a small paste-up team. I'm designing and subbing and editing and freaking out all at the same time. I really hope you understand.Hope the meeting goes well. I will be in touch to find out how it went and if anyone needs me for anything please phone me: 074 244 7659.Laura

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:25:43
hi guys, sorry I have only seen this message now - but I have another meeting over lunch, so I will be a bit late to meet you guys at the journ dept - will try to be there by 13:30 at the latest, hopefully! Quoting laura anne maggs g07m1320@campus.ru.ac.za:

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:33:56
Richard please come to the journ department to digitise, I think we should just start orgnising the Wednesday or Thursday meeting.Matthew

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:48:09
Ok, so applications for specialisations are in, so we have no excuse not to work like crazy on this CMP and get it done.Can EVERYONE please reply to all on this email to say what you have done, and what you still have to do, just so that everyone is on the same page.What do we think about having a group meeting tomorrow evening or on Wednesday before the police meeting?TV has done one doccie. We need to fix this one up and subtitle it. We need to make one of Ayanda's people (Richard and me?) and one of Michael's people (Matt?), and, after Richard and my meeting with the peace journalist guy, we need to go to the community and do vox pops about the family feud issue. Should we just use the opportunity of Thursday's big meeting to do that? I have already booked a camera for the whole day on Thursday; what time do we need it, so I can unbook either the morning or afternoon slot?Richard and/or Matt: please can we work tomorrow morning on completing one of the fammily doccies? We can get it finished in one day!Ok, rlaely hope to hear from everyone soon, re. progress and RSVPing for the Thurday meeting. Who is organising it? If no-one, what are the contact details and meeting details so we can pool the phoning?Robs

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 20:57:21
Hi guys,Here is an update on what the writers have been working on:So far, we have made a brochure containing the rights of victims of crime (in English and Xhosa). We have also made a pamphlet with emergency procedures (also in English and Xhosa). For these two things, the writing is done, they just need to be printed. (Designers can clarify on that).We are working on a news magazine (8 pages), which so far has a profile article on Liziwe, an article on the march, and safety precautions. We are also going to make a poster with the CPF members on it, but we can only do that once we have our community meeting.Hope that brings everyone into the loop.To the other print people, please also respond to this email in case I have left anything out.Quoting robyn

Hey guys,Just wanted to find out what the finalised plan is, confirm we are nowhaving the meeting on Saturday? I am meeting with Siya this mroning so ifyou need me to speak to him about it then let me know! My number is0760557402 incase im not by a computer later!!Shot, see you soonTara

Morning guys!We met with Siya and Nikelo this morning and this is the plan. the community is meeting with the police and the cpf tonight (WEDNESDAY) at 5 in luvuyo hall. nikelo's sentiment was that if we are not present at this meeting then they have no reason to come to our meeting! so we need as many of us as possible! i am leaving the amm at 5:10 (so that MC can eat dinner). please those who have cars meet at the amm at 4:45 if you can to take the rest.regarding our meeting, nikelo says that we cannot have it on the weekend because people will be drinking and we do not want to risk any conflict. the idea is to have it on monday (im sure casper will agree to this because of our failed attempt on sunday if not there's sweet bugger all he can do about it). also i told nikelo that this meeting will be for stakeholders - if anybody has a problem with this please let me know, we can discuss it asap so that i can confirm with nikelo this evening about the nature of the meeting on monday.Also - because the meeting on monday will be for stakeholders, it would be ideal (although i know its a push) to habd out the flyers to the community tonight! laura and kath, is that at all possible?thanks guyshopefully see lots of you a bit later!lisa

hi againjust for the design and writing people, i have put my photos on the dfs, the path is \\Amm\dfs\Specialisations\Design\CMP\Group 8ps the folder 'vukhani meeting' was the one community meeting held on the saterday after the march, and basically it was just feedback on the outcome of the march. if you have any queries on the content ask MC or Matt, who were both there.

Hey guys,I'm sitting with Warrick and Saskia working on the news magazine. Unfortunately neither of us can come to today's meeting, as we all have other arrangements. Saskia and Warrick have meetings, and I have a dinner that I have to attend.We can meet with you guys sometime afterwards to catch up on what happened in the meeting, if we need to write an article on it. If MC records the meeting, we can use that.so sorry guys.Laea, Saskia and Warrick

HeyOk I hate to have to excuse myself from this as well but I have compulsory DOS society chairperson training from 6pm tonight. I'm really sorry. With regards to the flyers, Kath was working on those (we'd split up the work) so you'll need to get in touch with her to find out if that's going to be ready in time. I think it might be a bit late because we still have to print and stuff and I don't know if she's finished them yet? Hope the meeting goes well.Laura
