Hello all, its seems Monday was an important day for the group presentation discussion. I'm having trouble following the idea, if someone has a minute could they explain in Laymans terms what the proposal/plan is.... Thanks

Bowls

I'll also represent the bowls club.

Presentation 17/11/08

I agree we are fast running out of time to interview the public and prepare the info received. Any other ideas please post and asap.

'allo, 'allo!

I'll do the police + council parks officer, who is in charge of Calv. Ground/Park. If they will care to speak to me, that is.
Update - I've spoken to the police, they have to confirm that somebody will speak to me
I've also spoken to Parks Manager, Jeff Kempster, who will contact me later today.

Presentation - Place & Culture - Roles

As we discussed on Monday these are the roles, so far, for each person :

Kris - young parent; Jan and Annie - Ladies who lunch; Ana and Ed - Teenagers; Ksenija and Mehrdad - Tourists; James and Simon - opinionated workers; Dan - Groundsman and dog-walker; Debbie - Croquet player.

Not every one has a role so they should confirm details of their participation. As Janina pointed out we do not have anyone representing a historian/ librarian or policymaker/ politician or council official or cafe owner or the police or even a bowls player. I'm sure there are other people who have a vested interest in Calverly Park that should be represented too so keep thinking and also nominate yourself for a second role (not you Dan).

The comments you make at the presentation need to be based on factual information including the opinions of the person/ people you represent. You can't make stuff up as it would completely undermine the integrity of the presentation. Good luck with your research.

Presentation format

As far as I can see, problems with this will be getting public to talk on camera. Also the time factor, we only have 2 weeks to get this together during which we have to organise ourselves to get to Calverley, interview people, then edit the information.
Other thoughts/opinions??

Presentation idea

Hi, I thought about Jan's idea and I agree with the principle but not the method. In order to represent thoughts and ideas of people who use/work in CP we have to interview them. I would much prefer to go to CP and interview somebody from the named social groups (OAPs, mums, teenagers, etc), record the interview on tape or camera and then show it as a slide show. I don't think it adds anything if we pretend to be these people. It will be messy and it does not serve any purpose. I fear it will turn into a farce. To convey their views it is best to treat it as a document, not a bad school play. The sound track + photos, or sound track + film is simpler and has the gravity of a document. Photos and sound track are very easy to do in MovieMaker or PowerPoint. I really do not want to dress up as a 12 year old and put on a funny voice! I'm waiting for your comments.
