Sarah: Right then, Alex, let's get down to business. On the agenda today for our
public relations meeting are the research project, the launch of the website, the
timeline for press releases, and the secretary of the year award. Are you quite happy
with those points?
Alex: Yeah, that's fine. If you could go through them in order, that'd be great.

Alex: Okay everybody, thanks for coming. Let's keep this meeting fairly brief, really
just a couple of things on the agenda. First of all, as you can see, the news on the
book re-launch; and secondly, the office move; and finally, we will have a little bit of
time for any other business.

Sean: First of all, the book re-launch. I just wanted to remind everybody that we will
be re-launching the fairy-tales range with new modern covers, and that this is going

the meeting up - can I ask you about those dates, because I thought that this was
38
going to be published the month after next, and I understand that everybody has got
their dates, but I do feel quite strongly that we're bringing this out too soon. Sean:
Well, any other thoughts before I comment on that? Carrie: I don't think we've got
any choice at all about it. If the radio programmes are going out at the beginning of
next month, we've got to launch the book at the same time if we're going to have any
