1,500 Flyers
On Monday 22nd September, several thousand new students will arrive at Royal Holloway, University of London, in order to register and join societies. The godless members of our student organisation “Atheist & Agnostic Alliance” will be there too, handing out flyers in order to grab as many new members as we can. Statistics says roughly 30% of students are non-religious, so I’m hoping we can get quite a few.
As part of our affiliation with the UK Brights, we have 1,500 flyers that present a “friendly” message, as well as something that isn’t “in your face”.

UK Brights are also helping us organise an awareness week later in the year. I’ll be taking my camera along to registration and get some pictures of the group in action. No idea how many flyers we will hand out on the first day, or how many will end of torn up in bins on campus. Hopefully a few people will stop to chat, either in support or to try and convert us from our heathen ways.

This looks like a great effort. I hope it brings people out.
You forgot to include a link in the post. Worse, it is written in a picture. I’m flabbergasted at the annoyance you are forcing us to endure, to actually read and write that url.
And just imagining that I spent 10x the time of that just complaining about it.
I’m shocked, Adrian. You have no respect for us lazy ones.
My apologies Luis, I have corrected the post to include the urls in the picture.
Humbly yours,
Adrian
Hmmm that’s better. Now will you please add the popcorn too? Jebus, do I have to do everything in here?
Joking aside, I had never heard about the “brights”. Doesn’t seem a bright word, though. It looks like the math-nerds-with-glasses-and-acne club in your local school, where the geeks like to joyfully play chess and discuss the technobabble of Star Trek. Alternatively, it could be about some kids who think themselves as geniuses.
Of course, the fact that this “meme” has been around for 5 years now and it’s still underground tells me a lot about the efficiency of that word. Doesn’t convince me in the least. Na. Thumbs down, count me out. Get a better word.
Whether or not people like the word, I think the overall message is a good one.
Great idea! I hope you got new members.
I like the overall message. But the word obfuscates it in the worst way. Sorry, just my opinion.
How does it obfuscate it? They explain in full details what the word “Bright” means in terms of the society.
