Wait until after the meeting and in the meantime petition the relevant parties. I may have misinterpreted your option regarding contacting newspapers but IMO this would not lead to a satisfactory outcome - you can just imagine a journo sensationalising the whole issue and the ensuing mess that could cause.
If the outcome of the meeting is less than satisfactory it will be a good opportunity to get behind the PFA/AOPA etc and other bodies so that collectively GA grows some balls in the UK and our opinions are heard.
