Posters  Several pictures for posters had been drawn by the children in GAFS sessions.  These were put in order of preference by the committee.  Information to be included on the posters were the dates and venues of the road shows together with the website address and a contact telephone no. (Mary Woodhouse).  Jane Rich offered to put up posters and estimated that she would need 40 copies and Mike Watts required 4 for the two churches.
Diana Sneezum agreed to discuss the poster design with Trevor Clarke.

Boards.   Jane Rich and Diane Andrewes were going to see the proposed boards which were being used that day at Abbey Hall.  Jane Rich offered to help with transporting the boards between the venues.

Mary Woodhouse offered to produce a history of Parish Councils.
 
Organizers.   Each of the designated organizers for the venues (ie Diana Sneezum – Village Hall, John Prinn – Community Centre and Jane Rich – Pilands Woods) would have overall responsibility for the event in their venue with help from others.

Further Publicity Jane Rich volunteered to write an illustrated article to send to the Echo after Christmas.
 
6.  INVOLVEMENT OF BUSINESSES IN BURSLEDON
There was a short discussion on how to include businesses but it was felt unlikely that they would want to be involved in the Road Show but that there could be a place on the boards for business cards.
