Come into
office and get on with sorting out Advice sessions for members of the public
who are interested in getting advice. The dates Monday 11th and 12th
of December are chocker block with people coming in to discuss their work. It’s
fantastic. It takes two hours to sort my phone out as believe it or not up
until now it has bot been sorted out. I have not been able to leave messages
nor hear it ringing. Turns out the number isn’t working I have a new number now
0207 921 0879. YAY
At 3pm I
have a dynamic meeting with Lucy Macnab about projects these are
a)
Getting
the poems around the south bank up and running (once a month or twice a
month). I suggest that it should be once
a month. This means that each worker. Lucy has sorted it so that the workers
get a poem with their wage packet How brilliant is that!! I need to choose two poems. And get help with
permissions.
b)
The
idea about the book of poems. This is a project where
all the poetry throughout the south bank, through the music programme and the
literature programme and dance and art will be collated and edited in one
publication. It’ beautiful. The action is that we will speak to the poetry
library who will help. It’s perfect for raising the profile of both poetry and
the library!
c)
Imagine:
we discussed the children in care idea for which I have three things for one
event. The first is
Supersonic a video just made of famous and or successful people who were in
care The second is Flourish a set of
artwork by children in care and thirdly The launch of the letterbox
club.
At 4pm I meet with Melanie Abrahams of Rennaisance One and Director of NALD (National Association of Literature Development Workers) who has
already had a meeting with Glen Max
(music booker at South Bank) about booking Jill Scott
for London Liming and the Letterbox
Club Launch. At 5pm I go home.
