Well, although 2010 has started rather coldly the Take Over is definitely firing on all cylinders. Despite having to reschedule last week's meeting we had a really good showing on Friday and some fantastic creative ideas flying around. At the moment we're zeroing in on headline acts in preparation for pulling together brochure information, and firming up ideas for other events. Some of the 'other events' are a bit frightening at the moment (it makes me nervous to hear the term 'battleground' thrown around) but could be tremendous fun.
In preparation for the brochure Susan has come up with a cracking idea for our publicity campaign that I can't reveal here yet, but will hopefully become visible very soon. Just keep an eye out...
During the week the comedy team (not a crack squad of comedians, but Jamie, Jake and Luke) came and talked to Nick, the Corn Exchange Director, about programming comedy before making some calls to agents. They did a damn good job of it, and are sifting through the offers of acts we've had at the moment - watch this space!
Also on the cards at the moment is handing out some more jobs to smaller groups of people, especially technical work and design work. So far working in smaller groups is proving successful, and it's been great to see older members working well with younger ones.
We're looking at using February half term as a chance to do some training/workshops/work experience in order to skill up for the Take Over. Any requests/suggestions for what you'd be interested in learning would be very welcome!
