- printed color newsletters

That is on the way anyway, and we are very aware of the costs. A final proof will be sent to the printers before Christmass (if I can get the time)

reward members who do jobs for P11 with book vouchers or something - such as when weehamster makes cool maps

agreed, in fact, Lostcarpark should be first in line thanks to the ubercool new logo he gave us and which will be on our webchat page tonight.

funding site investigations - trips to the WRC and harcourt line!

We already do that, and get criticised in some quaters for it (you know where) and we will be doing it when the needs arise.

- adverts in Metro and Herald AM

Whilst I'm sure they would not turn down the chance to get money I dont think IE would be too happy with a freesheet advertising us being given away at every station.

you come to them with the issue and details, they draw up the complaint and it gets sent to the relevant company.

We have done that already. Irish Rail refused to accept any complaints we sent them. That's why we have a how to complain section on the main site.

Radio ads to generate more interest/awareness of the group, especially at commuter times, like 7-9am and 5-7pm.

Derek and I have been chewing the possibility of doing somehting with Anna Livia, yes if we had the money we could do it, we usually get good coverage form Matt Cooper when something blows up by Derek appearing on the Last Word - and that's free.

Finally, I have seriously considered a philantrophist from the states in being a patron of P11. However, we hope that the full colour four page newsletter will gain us more membership and starts a cycle.

BTW, the easist way of course is tp stick us a tenner and have the word member appear under your name as opposed to Regular Poster or New to the Board.
