Tis a good question! I think if we can accept that people might be away for a december one… then we should really try and get a decent turnout for november! Can we get contents for a CD together and up somewhere? then we can get burning and do a good distribution!

Btw, wat date is the November one? I'll copy pasta a flier asap for distribution!

Seems to be the 8th, which is also the day of the Pagent, might be a good way to get more info out to parents, esp if we use fliers that focus on ex-sci kids, kids in the rpf, that sort of thing.

We'll need to confer with the cops if we protest on the same day/place as the pageant won't we?
We'd also need a new route that works with the pageant's: http://www.cupageant.com.au/194.aspx

Will we look imposing to the children? Should we wear colourful stuff so that we fit in with the pageant? And also, seeing as many of us won't be available for protests in dec (myself included) could we wear santa hats to this christmas pageant-protest?

A christmas theme would be awesome! I only say this now because like others i will be unavaliable for the december protest (unless its in the first week of December). The christmas pageant is indeed a little risky thats why it would be advisable, not to be close to the vicinity of the pageant route. In my opinion, a less crowded area, that is on route to the pageant, ie, a few streets away that travellers will be going past to get there. Just an idea. If we did it on that day, santa hats and /b/ells along with reindeer are needed for epic win!

While the pagent might get us more exposure i dont think its really our target audience, the only thing we could try is as Anon23517 said that we angle it at the child aspect to get parents worried. im going to try and make it to this one, had to work the last couple of times, any idea when a date will be decided, because nov 8th is now probably too late to start organising for large crowds.

impromptu mini raids arnt too good for me, need to get out of work. but i thought we wonted larger numbers for the november raid. we could combine two elements, do a mini raid with very child orientied flyers at the pagent and then try and get a big group together for the end of november.

How do we feel about the 22nd? Is that more agreeable with everybodys commitments? That would give us some time to prepare. Also, we're working getting a bunch of pamphlets together on the cheap, mainly 'Why we protest', 'Why do we wear masks?'. Does anybody have any others they would like printed?

Good point anon1919, we do need to print more fliers =)

Btw, I've added a poster/flier pre-empitvely for the 22nd. I can change it if needed!

Assuming were cool with this, anonymoussss… roll out!

thats a pretty good template, those would be great handouts.

@AnonVocis

22nd November is a good date for me, personally. Still working on the dvd, i'll also get 50 or so pamphlets printed out before then, i just don't have a template to print; unless your willing to just print out extras. Last few protests (small or big) where handed out very fast, we usually seem to run out don't we?

True we usually do, I can just print extras. I'll post the file when I get access to it again.

Both sound good. If you're interested when I frirst joined an anon showed me the way to a site which archived Scientology related news articles in Australia since 1959 up untill 2000:

Also of interest is the Anderson Report (If you haven't already read it). It's an official government inquiry into the claims/practices of Scientology in Victoria.

This just in, i finished the hand out dvd video. I could probably upload it to a site and post the link to anyone that requests it if they do. Its fairly basic, i restarted and revamped pretty much everything, tried to make it look a little more professional. Although, i would like someone to tell me whether the final part is appropriate.

On that note, does anyone know of a good program to design CD labels? Also, what sort of disc should i purchase? its about 120mb (5mins long, high quality)

Cheers guys.

How cheap are min-cd's these days? that could be interesting. I'm not sure about labeling programs though. If you want to upload somewhere i'll have a look and offer feedback.

Hmm, i didn't think of that, Mini CD's would be a great idea, if they are the same price or cheaper. Also a lot easier for me to hand out. Im upload the video to megaupload now, ill pm you the link when its done.

EDIT: Just checked dicksmith, they seem pretty damn expesnive, aprod $16 or $11 for 5 or 3. Im pretty sure im looking at the correct product.

I don't think i was with you guys when you handed out the CD's with the stickers etc, have to give me a refresher. But yeah, seems good. I'll end up getting like 80 in the end, assuming everyone will accept it (which they will).
