evidence at the EU Select Committee in London, which was financed by the public purse.<br />
Many of you have kindly offered to donate towards the costs incurred by Bremain<br />
during the #StopBrexit fight, and as yet we've not been in a legal position to be able to<br />
accept such offers. In the next few weeks, the final steps in declaring Bremain as a legal<br />
association in Spain will be completed, and we'll then be glad to accept donations from<br />
those who wish to help out. Watch this space for more information! We are also looking<br />
into the possibility of offering #StopBrexit merchandise, since several Bremainers at the<br />
Málaga meeting inquired about this.<br />
We also discussed our organisation's online presence on Facebook, twitter, our Website<br />
and through this monthly newsletter. Our objective here is to produce content that is<br />
targeted at the different audiences of the various media whilst ensuring that our<br />
messages are broadcast via all possible channels. Once the Bremain association is fully<br />
set up, we hope to be able to tap into funding opportunities in order to further our<br />
digital reach. All council members felt that it's vital to spread the message that Brexit<br />
can still be stopped, and in order to do this we need a more international focus than has<br />
previously been the case. We also wish to mobilise the energy of the younger generation<br />
by involving them more actively in the Bremain organisation and liaising with<br />
prominent young activists in the UK and EU27.<br />
Another point on the agenda - and related to our use of media - was the need to more<br />
clearly communicate our strategy and achievements to Bremain members. With this in<br />
mind, we are planning an end of year review and a strategy statement for 2018. We are<br />
also hoping to initiate live question & answer sessions where you can put forward issues<br />
that concern you and we can directly address your concerns. These sessions will be<br />
themed in accordance with current events relating to Brexit.<br />
Everyone present felt that our first Council meeting had been a great success, and we all<br />
left with a list of action points to start work on. The next Bremain Council meeting will<br />
be held at the start of February in the Alicante region, and will coincide with a social<br />
meeting for Bremainers in the South-East Spain area.<br />
Your Bremain Council<br />
This month, we'd like to introduce your Bremain in Spain Council to you. You've<br />
probably come across all of us online, but might not have had the chance to meet us in<br />
real life, and might not know much about us. Hopefully, our short bios will give you a<br />
better idea of what we're all about as well as clarifying our personal responsibilities so<br />
that you know which of us to contact if you have any specific queries.
