As you are aware MOV is preparing for our Chinese Cooking Workshop next Wednesday, October 2. Ticket sales have been moving slowly. We were hoping you might be able to disperse marketing materials among colleagues at St John’s College and perhaps through the Food and Sustainability department.

Here are links to the event. Lorenzo can provide more materials if you have the capacity to disperse hard copies of creatives.
