13th December

Hello all!

Yet again it was a cosy meeting with just Martin and me, although Hamza popped in for a chat. Martin and I have mocked up a copy of the magazine, so that we know what we need from people.

Martin is designing the cover and the contents page. He is also doing a single page on 'random thoughts' and three pages on TV 2008.
Hugh - we have allowed a double page spread for your social networking article. If you have any particular images that you would like included, please let me know. We have also allowed a double page spread for your article on the French exchange. (Perhaps you could develop this to discuss the decline in exchange programmes as a consequence of parental fears?)
Lauren - we have allowed a double page spread for your photography work and a single page for an exhibition review
Natalie - we have allowed a single page for a gig review
Tomasz - we have allocated you a page
Bryony - we have allocated two pages to GAP - please let us know if you need more.
Hamza - single page article on taekwando and single page article on Barcelona (in simple Spanish)

There will be a page asking for questions to put to the principal for the next issue and also a page advertising the next issue and encouraging other people to get involved.

Advertising:
we have had interest from the following people:
- redLdriving tuition (half page)
- Diamond Drive (half page)
- MCM driving school (quarter page)
- Complete School of Motoring are considering a full page advert
- Bournemouth University have agreed to a full page advert.
We need to sell at least four more full pages to make the necessary money - any ideas for potential advertisers?

Article on university - anyone?
Article on Tanzania and fundraising?
Sports article?
Double page spread on New York?

Please write your articles as quickly as possible, as we need them straight after Christmas!

Thanks,

Tamsyn
