[boyofford]

tracerace1 had the idea of putting some flyers at greyhaze, was thinking of asking place in oasis market too.
Anyhow, typed up what she suggested and added a bit, can people please have a look and give me any suggestions before I ask places to hand them out please...

I've had a bit of a play around with it but, just as I’d finished, (see below), I found this on the Facebook Vapersflashmobsuk page:
www.banner-links.com/ImportantEU-A4-v2-plain.doc
It’s a link to a plain text word document, that downloads automatically to your computer, for a leaflet to be edited and printed if wanted. It’s probably even better as it’s a really indepth explanation of the situation, so even more educational for the public and vapers who aren't aware. Just needs the location changing to Birmingham. I’d also add family & friends welcome to swell our numbers as we need a really good turnout. More threads:

I can't find out for the life of me how to do a screen shot and post it on here, so I've given up and just pasted my, once centred, effort below:

HELP SAVE ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES

WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

11am on 11th January 2014

Outside BBC Studios, in the Mailbox, Birmingham

If you wish to continue vaping, without the proposed EU restrictions, please join us

Ecigs are a proven 99% safer, life changing alternative to smoking cigarettes; already successfully used by approximately 1.3 million in the U.K alone. As a recreational product, they are currently regulated for consumer protection and we welcome further quality control regulations. However, ten years on the market, they are now growing so rapidly, they have become a major threat to pharma and tobacco companies. Due to intense pressure from these industries, the EU are planning to add so many restrictions to Ecigs, we would be left with a choice of poor quality, non refillable, low nicotine cig-a-likes, such as those found in supermarkets and petrol stations, or returning to smoking! Should the EU succeed in their ultimate goal of unnecessarily over regulating and classing them as medicinal devices, because of the massively prohibitive cost of licences and testing that would be required, (only affordable for the pharma and tobacco industries), the result would be an effective ban of the complete diverse and constantly evolving range of products we currently enjoy:

• No DIY mixing due to restrictions on the sale of nicotine.
• No current ready made e-liquids and many flavour restrictions.
• No refillable clearomisers or tanks.
• No Mods

We Vapers need to educate and increase vaping’s profile to prevent it from being silently swept under the carpet by people with not so well hidden agendas.
Peaceful protests, at various media locations worldwide, are being arranged against the outrageous proposed EU ecig ban for 11th January at 11am. In Great Britain they are being held outside BBC television studios with the aim of making our united voice heard.

Please join us and pass this message forward. The support of family and friends is most welcome to swell our ranks and please remember that these events are to raise awareness of vaping by vapers; if you are a vendor, please attend, but in your capacity as a vaper. Dress code: Black if poss.

Said they would hand them out, told them about it but don't think they really knew what's been going on, but were interested I think.
Realised they are a vender on here so perhaps should pm them to give them links to stuff.
Was in a bit of a mad frenzy after work as had last minute Xmas presents to get so probably didn't explain myself fully!

[tracerace1]

don't worry just enjoy your Christmas, they probably are we can all get cracking again on 2nd January and be happy

Think reception entrance is inside the mailbox so you won't see it on google maps, walked through mailbox many times but will have to check when next in town.

Peeps we are holding the meet OUTSIDE of the building, not going inside at all unless invited by BBC staff.

So You can vape to your hearts content, outside on the pavement.
