Editor's Notes
- A selection of groups that indicated that they are interested in locating at the Bloomfield Centre. These groups also answered “yes” to the confidentiality clause. This needs to be double checked against the forms.2. I’m not sure if there are any “sensitivities” among these groups. I like the contrast of the differing font sizes, but we may have to change this if you think some groups would be offended to see their name in a smaller font. Also, this is only a selection of interested parties – we would need to decrease all font sizes in order to include all group names.
