Events updates

3.1. Display workshop
Steve Murphy can't do 25 November as has another commitment. He suggested 2 December but this clashes with CLASA Quarterly. Shane has spoken to Steve and will negotiate with him and Hindmarsh for a different date. This session has sold out and has waiting list so there shouldn't be a difficulty with getting enough to different date although it is recognised that some may not be able to attend session after all. Will try to arrange for more sessions next year: first one in mid-late February. Shane will also investigate interest in regional sessions. Action: Shane

3.2. Library tours
Shane will speak to Vicki at TTG to try to organise tour in February. Suzanne to arrange tour of new Payneham Library in April if open (or before end of financial year). Format to be tour and get-together afterwards. Tours to be free. Action: Shane/Suzanne

3.3. Marketing best practice
Proposed for June 2003. Possibly full-day event. Possible topics/speakers include Marty, Fiona Lange, cinema advertising, Dewey, marketing and planning, free publicity, dealing with media. Venue to be decided: current suggestions are DIRC and Semaphore Library. Action: Shane

Next Meeting: To be held at PLAIN Central Services, Milner Street, Hindmarsh on Tuesday 26 November 2002 at 6:00pm for 6:15pm.
