Meeting: Central House, 30th January

This was a well-attended and lively meeting.

We discussed our aims for the Poland trip. As well as pursuing our individual research objectives, Poland is an opportunity for us to get to know each other better, get started on the process of making contacts and learn to use our time effectively. Clancy is our main coordinator for Warsaw, and is keen to hear from all of us about things we'd like to fit in on this trip. Also, please post information and requests for Warsaw to the blog.Clancy also suggested that we each put together examples of our work with our contact details to hand out in Warsaw. This could be in the form of printed material, CD, DVD ... whatever seems most appropriate to our work.

There will be a further meeting next Monday, 6th Feb to look through some guidebooks and share our Warsaw-related research. Gin has a friend from Poland, who she will be inviting to attend. Nici and Rosemary are working on a Pages flyer/handout for us to give to interested parties, and at Monday's meeting we will have our photographs taken to add to this. The finished article can then be emailed round to all of us so that we can print them as needed.

We discussed the role of this blog, with some concerns being raised about what sort of quality we should be aiming for when we post. For the moment, until the website is up, this blog is our main public face; however it is a blog, not a website, and its primary aim is as a communication tool for us to share research. It is more important, therefore, to get the information up than to produce a beautifully written and formatted piece of work. As long as people stick to the guidelines, there shouldn't be a problem.
