media coverage

We got a good response to our press launch today. We turned up outside the town hall with a giant invitation: "MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY requests the pleasure of the company of THE G8 MINISTERS for Rice for Dinner".

Chris was interviewed for Radio Sheffield (they used clips in this morning's bulletins), Look North came along to film us for their lunchtime slot and a nice photographer from the Star came (even though he'd rather have been in Whitby on such a sunny day - wouldn't we all?).

Lots of people took leaflets on the town hall steps, including Jan Wilson. (I should have a papparazzi photo of her...) Then we handed in invitations and fliers for all the councillors.

There's also a nice story on the BBC South Yorkshire website.
