- when students are out (we need the turnout)
- not at the same time as any other major event or holiday (people plan to leave on those
and do other things, plus interference with existing events might make it impossible to obtain permits)
- in the summer (more people are willing to march when the weather is good)
- when travel is cheap(er) i.e not on holidays again...
??? any other suggestions ???
once a full list of criteria is determined, then start looking for a date that matches.
We must meet all of this for a date if we want a great turnout.
