The Department reproduced two double crown posters, one with dates of the
caravan's visit over-printed across the bottom section of the poster. A matching
leaflet was also printed and a small notice giving details of the four locations
of the caravan during it's time in Hackney.
All this material was distributed to Council establishments and displayed on
the Council's poster stands throughout the Borough. In addition to this a Press
Release was issued to the local Press and appeared in the Hackney Gazette at the
start of the campaign. Posters, leaflets and notices were distributed to approximately
200 firms in the area employing large numbers of women.
A short 8 mm film was taken of the Caravan while it was located outside the
Town Hall in Mare Street.
Site - It was decided to use the Town Hall site for two weeks this year in view
of the disappointing attendances made when the caravan was situated at the Toc H
site last year. The remaining two sites were retained as previously, as the
attendances were encouraging during 1972.

The poor attendance figures for the Geffrye Court site indicate that most
women residing in the immediate vicinity and interested in attending, were screened
during last year's visit.
A comparison of attendances with previous years is shown below:-
