Trans Day of Remembrance Vigil
there is firstly the Newcastle vigil on Saturday that Mal will be leading to go to
for the Durham vigil, Mal suggested palace green at either 6pm or 7pm on monday, 22nd
decided on 7pm as 6pm might be too close to the end of teaching time for people to make it to the vigil in time and clashes with college meals as well
as the vigil is static, we will not have to inform the police
palace green currently has items for lumiere, should not pose an issue but we can go earlier to scout and pick a spot in case
Mal may be asking people to give speeches for the vigil itself
the association can look into provide candles (from the association accounts, it seems we will have the funds to do so)
we can also perhaps have signs / banners to indicate what we are doing
we will need to fill out a risk assessment form (Amanda to do)
a sound system would be ideal, we have a megaphone somewhere (to ask Alicia)
to look into speaker system, preferably something portable, Alex to check with people from climate strike to see what they used, Amanda to email DSU to ask, also to ask exec chat
