Hi Sam,

I have a clash on Monday 19th (every other Monday I help run a playreading group for Oldham Coliseum Theatre) - however, I'm not leading the session on the 19th, so could skip it (although the two people who normally rely on me for lifts will have to catch the bus home). So yes - if the 19th is better for everyone else - I'll be there (wherever we meet).

I'm up for anything - I'm just concious that if we start debating it too much it might be next xmas before a sensible-looking site is up.

Are customers all supposed to live in and around Manchester? Are we going to ask for their real name and address? Will there be any vetting?

Yes - we want people to feel comfortable enough to pay!

Certianly - even if only to lend us some extra credibility

Enough to start with, I reckon.

Did Fripost actually get its initial 50 customers? If so, the text on the site hasn't been updated.
