[Alt-sheff-organising-group] Event submitted - proposing NOT to upload

[Alt-Sheff Collective]

Hello everyone, we've got the following event submitted and I am  
proposing NOT to put it on the website, is that OK?

a) it's got little to do with any kind of social change, just seems to  
be an arts event (except 2 minor elements perhaps)

b) there's no indication it's a community event in a real sense, could  
be simply sponsored by Arts Council or property companies for all we  
know

c) there's no contact email website to check out

d) it's MASSIVE!! See text SEE BELOW ....

If you disagree please do reply to say so,
Cheers
Jonathan

Light Night Sheffield 2014

23rd November 2014; Sheffield City Centre; 1pm - 8pm

Join us on the day of the official city Christmas lights switch on for  
a creative experience to remember! Shining a light on our artists,  
performers, musicians and creatives, city centre venues will be  
brought to life, and opened up for you to explore. Exhibitions,  
performances, workshops and activities will aim to ignite your  
imaginations and encourage you to discover our city centre in a new  
light through creativity. We want to unlock the doors of spaces we  
don’t ordinarily get to see, animate places in a completely new way  
and celebrate what Sheffield has to offer for all ages. This is a  
small event, complementing the activities taking place in the city  
centre for the Light Switch on, for which the Sheffield City Council  
expect 30,000 people. We had a huge response from artists wanting to  
get involved. We are still looking for volunteer stewards to help us  
on the day of Light Night. More information can be found on our  
Volunteer page. The programme is being finalised, with times and  
locations and any prices to be updated in the next week. Below is a
