Does SLUG have a budget for this kind of thing?
Sure, adverts are expensive... but it would probably attract people, who
might then become SLUG members. We would have to work out how much we
could spend on an advertisement compared to how many people we would
expect to have join.
Putting a press release on the web site (you do mean www.slug.org.au by
this?) is well and good, but it doesn't reach the right audience. You'd
be preaching to the converted.
