First, cs.general, a group for computer science department announcements, may not be a good forum for announcements like this. Perhaps something for the whole of UWA? aus.music is also an innapropriate forum, as goes out to all of Australia, not just UWA. Now an actual reply (please reply to me via email, or on some more appropriate forum). Your club sounds like two clubs rolled innto one, an alternative music club and a political club. The alternative music club sounds like a good idea, however be aware that it also sounds like a lot of work (more than you might thinnk), and that such clubs (there have been a few before) inevitably fold when the founders stop working. Perhaps a club with some affiliations with 6RTR? A politics club is not a good thing to combine with a music club. The connection between the two may make sense to you, but not to a lot of others. Particularly as from your remarks against 'left-wing' clubs I assume that your politics are fairly right wing (I cann think of several alternative bands that are left wing activists, but a lot less who are right wing) but even if you were left-wing it would still be a mistake. Making yourself overtly political will alienate a lot of potential punters. Catch you round Dave Cake P.S. I would be interested in talking to you some more about this, but use a more appropriate forum. -- David Cake |life is easily understood as bit strings with logical [WLM] Weird Little Man |depth greater than their length - Rebis, Doom Patrol Cognitive science, UWA |..think about a government entirely of fish - JBC
