[HLUG] pirate Pad updated

[Paul Stenning]

Hi all,

Regarding media coverage, I suggest contacting Sunshine Radio and asking 
them to include it in the Action Update feature.  This is for charity 
and not-for-profit events so we should qualify.  Email 
actionupdate at sunshineradio.co.uk at least 7 days before the event, and 
attach a poster or flyer that contains the key information.

Also BBC Hereford and Worcester are very good for covering local 
not-for-profit events, and would probably like to interview someone 
involved on the breakfast or drive-time show during the week before the 
event.  Rainbow Forum got some good free publicity for our diversity 
celebration ("gay pride") event earlier this year this way.  I can't 
find any obvious contact details for the station on the BBC website 
though, but I'll see if I can find out who Rainbow Forum contacted.
