Where can I go in Durham for ...

To be honest Jelkin that's the amount of money you're going to have to spend!!! A3 colour copies are expenseeeeve!

Try (although apparantly more expensive than Prontaprint) Alphagraphics on the top floor of the Geography Annex (the right hand side bit of the bit metal building on the Science Site).

Otherwise yeah - do colour photocopies in the library?

It's okay, I'm going to use ITS on Monday morning - tomorrow night I'll do some A4 coloured ones and some A3 black and whites. They'll have to do. Arrrrgh, I am crapping myself about husting - I wrote down what I want to say but there's so much of it!

Castle Exec candidates aren't allowed to put up posters. This is probably the reason why.

I'm allowed to put them up after my hust when voting starts - I can campaign till Thursday when voting finishes. Kind of wish it were banned because it's causing me lots of stress :frown:

Later I'm going to make little pyramid things to put on the dining hall tables. *sigh*

Ditto, it kind of says "the candidate with the most money will have the best chance" :rolleyes:

It's true, because there are blatantly people out there who will just vote for the person with the prettiest posters. If I were a JCR member at HildBede I'd propose a motion to change it so that posters aren't allowed.

thats why we have a reasonable limit that you can spend on posters (£10)

How do they enforce/know this? :confused:

Surely it would be better to just say "no posters!"?

IIRC at mildert there were posters in every set of toilets, and that was the only place that they were...

They're just the manifestos though, right? I can't say that for any elections so far this year that I've seen any additional posters / advertising of the candidates other than their manifestos.

It gets worse. The other candidates for treasurer have massive A2 coloured posters. WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THE MONEY FROM? I'm spending way too much as it is, on a few coloured A3 ones. One guy has really professional laminated posters.

On the upside, my posters are way better in concept and design. They rock! Sadly you don't notice them next to the campaigning extravaganza that everyone else has :frown:

3 candidates for treasurer? You must have very enthusiastic people in Hild Bede. We had 3 positions with no candidates the other day

That sounds really unfair. I would DEFINITELY consider proposing a motion to stop this.

And Steve, we had 3 candidates for treasurer this year too! Only 2 each for Senior and Vice-Senior Man, which is pretty weird, as I think last year there were 5 candidates for each of those positions.
