Damian,

Thanks for getting back to us.

We were thinking that instead of regularly postponing the launch of the
CC-EW licenses (weren't they supposed to be ready in Nov 2004?), that you
either 1) wait and officially launch them on 1st March as a co-ordinated
effort between CC-EW and Remix Reading or 2) if you don't want to wait till
March 1st to release the licenses (so you can get them out on the web), you
could just hold the official launch in Reading on 1st March. 

In terms of budget, we sent our application to the arts council the other
day, and are hoping to fund the event through their grant. In case it
doesn't come through (and have to apply again or elsewhere) we already have
a £500 loan for the event itself. However, that money is already allocated
for publicity materials, PA hire etc. We may be able to put up a little
money for travel expenses if our grant application goes through.

We would appreciate as much help as possible for the event. If anyone lives
near Reading (it is only half an hour on the train from London) and is
willing to help, please let us know.

Many Thanks,

Edward
