A larger number of people met and gaffed about different things..
1) Film Festival
Going good , except for the quality on Wednesday. Only way to fix that would be to watch all films in advance. Publicity needs to be a bit more widespread, given the challenge of the lack of funds. Other venues suggested for other nights as part of a regular programme. Sidewalk confirmed for at least one night in the month, and a Saturday night.
2) UNAIDS

a) campaign against hompohobic lyrics
