Sounds familiar - our Henry Moore Ts & Cs were derived from Tate/John too! But based on their experiences with that, Flickr made us change a few things, and then more still when we did the People's Arboretum.
One more thing to say about your event - it may have just been me, but I actually found it very hard to pull together information about when events were taking place and who was participating. Might be worth having a few direct links to relevant pages from the Flickr group.
Good luck with it all
James

> Hi everyone,
>
> We are running as part of Museums at Night a Flickr project
> to create an archive of photographs about the 150 events that
> are due to take place this weekend all across the UK.
>
> Basically, we are inviting anyone - the public or the venues
> themselves
> - to help us create an archive of photographs of all the
> great stuff that is happening. We will then select the best
> of which will go into an online exhibition on Culture24. To
> help us select the ones to exhibit we are getting help from
> curators at Photoworks and the V&A. 1,000's of rather nice
> shiny A5 cards have been printed and sent to all the
> participating venues to hand out and we are getting some
> conversations going in some Flickr forums.
>
> You can read about it here: www.culture24.org.uk/museumsatnight
>
> I would be happy to share the results of how it all goes with
> anyone who is interested and will be sharing a summary of the
> evaluation on my blog at the end of May.

> Cheers Jane
