Good afternoon Talkbank members
Just an update on Monday's meeting. The usual suspects turned up, so thanks to them for attending. We're still trying to get people through the doors, so please remember that everyone's welcome.
On that note, I must say we had a very productive meeting this week. Dave and Josie have written letters to The Sentinel after a discussion about incapacity benefit - so watch this space. We also welcomed another newbie, called Amanda (not to be confused with the other Amanda). Amanda will be working alongside me to challenge stigma on our media campaigns. Incidentally, she's also famous! She's a part-time actress and has appeared in bit-parts in Corrie and Hollyoaks amongst other things. Please don't queue round the block for autographs though.
The main news of the day though is that next Monday, December 3, we have some visitors to our offices. The Sentinel's Assistant Editor Martin Tideswell and their health correspondent, Dave Blackhurst are coming to give us a talk about how the newspaper is put together and what makes a good news story or feature. They will be available afterwards for a question and answer session. We'd like this to be well attended, so please, please try to make it on the day. We might even have some extra special biscuits in honour of the occasion. But it should be really interesting and it's a chance to put our message across.
Anyway, hope to see you all this coming Monday and at our future meetings.

Greetings
I am looking forward to having those folks from the Sentinel give a talk on Monday December 3. Hopefully I can give some input to the proceedings.
Now then, speaking of autographs, you know you can have mine. You can use me as a decoy to keep the fans away from both Amanda's.
Best regards to all of you. Right then, lets have some biscuits...
Hi Everyone,
It was indeed a very productive meeting, I am always amazed at how a small group of people can make a difference!...but we can and we do!
I am looking forward to meeting Dave Blackhurst, I have heard very positive things said of him, via Tony(who worked at the Sentinel for over 30years) and still comes into contact with him at various meetings.
It will give us all the opportunity to learn something new! and to put across issues that are important to us.
hya all,
its great to see that the TALKBANK action group is buzzing with activity!
top stuff & keep up the great work!
take care
