Please can we have extra formal society advertising space in the form of pin boards on the back of toilet doors

NOTES:Not currently enough advertising space for societies when there seems to be plenty for commercial ventures.

Does this mean individual cubical doors? Pin-boards on main toilet doors could be safety hazard.
