3 Progress
3.1 Publicity
Most of the meeting was given over to interviews with a film crew for a
local TV news service.
3.2 Membership
Andrew has been following up responses to the mailshot we posted after the
last meeting. Of the 131 enquiries sent to people who have expressed an
interest we have received 11 responses (2 negative and 9 positive). 7
letters were returned as address unknown. To follow up on the positive
responses we will construct an Anglicised frequently-asked-questions.

compiled
4 Any Other Business
4.1 The next AUK meeting will be held at the facility near Eastbourne at
11:00am on the 5th of December 1993.
4.2 Bracelet numbers. We recently had an enquiry from Alcor US about the
numbers our members have on their Alcor bracelets. Some of us have the
_old_ Riverside number USA 714 736-1703 (the _new_ area code for Riverside
is 909, replacing 714) whilst some of us have the free-phone USA 800 367-
2228 number. Both these numbers are, or will be soon, invalid. Alcor US
are considering issuing new bracelets with the 800 number, so as
(presumably) to avoid the problem about changing the number whenever they
move or are assigned a new number. We have advised them that 800 numbers
do not work outside continental N.America, so issuing bracelets (after the
forthcoming move) with the Scotsdale number would be best for us and all
overseas members.
