thanks for the suggestions - 
Please let Julian know the Rainbow Forums' contact if you can as he will

we will need to create a press release for the beginning of sept - if
anyone has PR skills, experience of promoting a local event to the media
or suggestions for this please let Pete know as he is co-ordinating
