It's an automated response from the workplace of one of the comrades.  OK, the return date to the office is not pertinent but you should nevertheless get a reply – if you don't then take it up with the EC.

Isn't this more the responsibility of the Audio Visual Committee. Address here: spgb.av at worldsocialism, etc

It is but as that committee has not been 'firing on all cylinders' for a considerable period I avoided pointing Vin in that direction. Most of the functions that should be the responsibility of the A/V Committee have been undertaken by other comrades in recent years.  It's another issue that the new Executive Committee will need to address…

This is for the AV committee not campaigns. The TORs and committee email addresses can be found in the files section of spintcom should anyone need them.FWIW members of the AV committee where involved in the production and facilitation of the Euro election video and are still involved in the audio section of the website.

I just have the idea of something along the lines of using our TV appearences during elections and other party stuff with adverts for the Socialist Standard a little bit history and links to websites. Obviously this will need some sort of membership approval, tho' there is nothing controversial. I have Cde CS permisson to tidy up his appearance on 'Comment' in 80s https://www.dropbox.com/s/kl8zflkw1ebulde/CliffordComment2.mp4?dl=0There is a lot of party material that could be organised into a general introduction to the party. Nothing too technical and deep.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the only involvement was to liaise with the commercial company which filmed and produced the Euro election video.I'm all for giving kudos where it's appropriate but let's be perfectly frank; all in-house audio and video material produced in recent years, including those at Head Office, Conway Hall and Summer School, have been recorded, edited and uploaded by members other than those on the AV committee.  And three debates (two with the Zeitgeist Movement and the one with Peter Tatchell) were filmed, edited and uploaded by a non-member.

And organising the shooting at head office. In the end I think the video was a good example of how members as committees can work together to get something done.

Sure, the depart suffers from a lack of human resources, this can only be rectified by people coming forward.

I suggest the Party hires Spencer Cathcart to produce an official party video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipe6CMvW0Dg

Would it not be possible to replace this video with something more appealing to the working class and the problems we are facing?

The best pamphlet i ever read was WORLD OF FREE ACCESS by ex member paul breeze who sadly passed away a few years ago. A video version of this i think would be fantastic as an introduction to what we stand for. straight forward easy to understand without long winded unused words question and answer format. its Simples as the meerkats say.

Here's a flavour of that old pamphlet of Paul Breeze's (later an Independent councillor in Stoke):https://socialismoryourmoneyback.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/these-are-undeniable-facts.html

One of the pamphlets titled 'World of Free Access' dated 1982 has been scanned in full and made available online herehttps://www.scribd.com/doc/112030675/World-of-Free-Access-1982
