The Coalition Against Raising the Drinking Age in Scotland (Cardas)
Have a look at the resources section of the page on CoRWM: http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/CoRWM or http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Bell_Pottinger_Communications#References
The key thing is to reference docuemtns fully (ie author, title, source, vdate etc) and to upload the documents to the site via the 'upload image' link under 'special pages'. To determine the url for the uploaded file right click on the name of it once uploaded and 'copy link location'.
FOI ref author, title for this doc dates etc et
Hi,
great stuff on Rycroft. The SDP links and Bell Pottinger info is great. Maybe it is worth having a setion at the bottom on his career which just lists the dates of his various appointments? I was confused about when whe was where and if he cae from and went to Bell Pottinger or was only there once etc?

Hi,
No, I think two pages is fine. If you are fleshing this page out I would include a short ref to the history of Hnover as Media strategy on the Hanover page and reserve most of the pr-Hanover history for the Media Strategy Page.
Check for typos...
Good stuff --David 08:45, 25 September 2008 (BST)
Hi Claire
Great that you can work on Claire Fox--pls do update her page also with any material you have about her booze-related activities.
Re your spinprofiles email account, as a portal editor, you should have had a couple of weeks ago an email from Bill, the spinprofiles web guy, giving you an email adde, which shd be claire.harkins@spinprofiles.org and a user name and password. you need to go into yr email prog and set up a new account with the details that Bill has sent you. It's slightly techie so you might want to get someone to help you. I have sent you a test email to this adde so let me know if you get it! Also let me know if you didn't get such an email from Bill. I am still struggling to work out the technical details of how the site runs myself.

HI Claire
just doing a tour of the portal pages. think yr booze one is looking good. if there's one thing that may make it more accessible to the public before the launch, I think it might be to introduce them in simple language to a couple of the main issues around booze. In the Issues box or similar? I am not an expert on the topic but one possib that comes to mind is the industry's attempts to link lack of regulation of booze with liberty/freedom from government in the public mind? also people are worried about the licensing hours issue because of the violent binge-drinkers etc rolling along the streets at all hours--and relaxing licensing hours has got to be about raising revenue for the government hasn't it? because they get more tax back from the booze sold as a result of the longer hours? these are just guesses--as I said, I'm not an expert, but is it possible just to choose a couple of issues to foreground for the public? whatever the industry is/has been lobbying for I guess are the things to highlight.
hope I didn't trip over yr toes on Claire Fox--thought you'd finished her when I dived in. my apologies for that. must be like working in a field of vultures...
