Commission Unit- Negotiating a Meeting Date with the NoToMob (And discussion with Andrei)

Today I received a voicemail on my mobile from Steve AKA Bald Eagle of the NoToMob. In the message, he informed me that he has spoken with the other members of the NoToMob and they had come up with several dates that were suitable for the members of the group to meet with us. These dates all occur on saturdays and are on the 19th and 26th of april.
I immediately emailed Steve and told him that we would be more than happy to visit the group on the 19th of april. The reason we chose for this date rather than the 26th is that the 26th is dangerously close to the date of the deadline of our film, and we would like some extra time after meeting the NoToMob to check our footage and make sure that everything is going smoothly and that we have collected all the material we need from the mob for our documentary.

At University today, myself and Andy also had a very interesting discussion with Andrei whilst I emailed Steve back. Andrei informed us of several areas around Medway that would be perfect filming locations for capturing footage of the CCTV Camera Cars, and also areas of the city where illegal parking usually happens. Since I am not originally from Rochester or Maidstone, I think it was very useful to speak to Andrei about this subject and I feel that I learnt a lot from talking to him.

One location he informed me of is near the Staples store in Chatham:
The Staples Store in Chatham
Since the Staples store is relatively close to where I live in University Halls, I think it would be a great idea for this area to be one of our potential filming locations, either as a piece of film to crop in showing traffic or to film some shots with the presenter (Me) explaining what is going on in the documentary or introducing a new scene.
Staples is also right next to a rather attractive pier which depending on the time of day may be suitable to use in our documentary.
