Welcome and minutes

Welcome to the Trash Magazine blog.

Meeting minutes (15/11/07)
In the last meeting we talked about what articles we could include in the next issue of the magazine and came up with the following list:

Hamza - an article in Spanish? Perhaps also something on taekwando
Hugh - social networking article (completed), French exchange article
Martin - random thoughts, and a film review
Lauren - exhibitions, film and concert reviews, and photography
Natalie - gig reviews - who have you seen recently, and do you have any photos?
Tomasz - an article in Polish?
Katie - theatre review (Perhaps Faustus?)
David Lilly - game reviews?
Bryony - GAP article?

Sports - do you know anyone who would like to write about college sports? (I have e-mailed Jo Bull, Sharon Cruse and Kristian Still to try to rustle up a sports journalist!)

Student Union - I have asked Kerry Pringle to speak to the TSU about an article

Tanzania - I have asked KPR to speak to relevant stundets about writing an article on fundraising for Tanzania

It was suggested that maybe a list of questions that students want to ask Jonathan Prest (Principal) could be compiled, so that we can feature an interview with him. (If this is not possible, it might be possible to interview Glenda Gardiner or Kerry Pringle).

Another suggested article was an interview with John Denham - we need to compile questions for this and find someone who wants to do it!

An article about university - any volunteers?

New York Trip - I will ask students at the next meeting.

I have asked ARA (Aine Rand) for some booklets on how to use In-Design.

I was hoping to contact relevant advertisers, but have not managed to do that yet. Previously, we agreed advertising prices. The magazine will be seen by students, teachers, other staff, parents and potential students.

Relevant advertisers:
Universities - Solent, Southampton, Winchester, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Chichester.
Local shops - Papa John's, Dominos, driving instructors, LA Fitness, Shakeaway, banks, Polish shops

32 page magazine x 1000 copies = approx. £1000
£100 - TSU
£250 - marketing?
50p per copy
500 copies = £250
£400 from advertising
We need to apply for funds from the Student Union.

Please nag your friends to write something or come to the meetings!

I would willingly interview John Denham if no-one else came forward and also to say that I spoke to David and he says he is unable to do anything for the magazine as hes currently snowed under with work.

However, i've been looking through a few of my recent exhibition reviews and I could submit some of these tamsyn?

On the photography front, I was also thinking, perhaps I could take some photos around college, so to make the magazine more college oriantated? Perhaps of the articles like interviewing Kerry Pringle / Jonathon Prest etc??

Just some ideas for the moment!

Also meant to add I would write the article about going to / applying for University if needed as I am in the process and could give some insight to other students?
Just a thought!
