3 - MEDIA COVERAGE
Local media will be contacted about this protest gathering. This will surely be a missed opportunity especially as e-cigs are becoming more and more public. If anybody has contact with media, please pass on details to them
4 - MEET YOUR POLITICIANS (subject to free time)
By the 29th of May, the General Election will have its result for all local MPs. These elected MPs will get an open invitation. Local AMs will also receive an open invitation. This will be the perfect time for MPs and AMs to get told all your vaping related concerns and make sure they realise that vapers do not hide behind emails & social media.
