We met at Campbell Works at 6.30pm.
Attendants: Lucie, Robbie, Gabriel, Eva, Ben, Neil (from Campbell Works), David, Helene, Claire, Steph
Chair: Steph
6.30pm
We discussed practicalities and procedures of the group. Summary in 'Actions and Info below'.
Monthly publication: Gabriel suggested the publication of a zine, pamphlet, songbook curated or edited by one volunteer of the group once a month. Neil mentioned that Campbell Works tried to do a newspaper once, that publications are very time consuming and labour intensive and that a longer time frame might be more suitable. We came to the conclusion that we will do this quarterly.
Book competition: We will start an AltMFA prayer flag/bunting as an ongoing document and future focus of the group, suggested by Eva. The first edition will be entered into an art book competition.
People who are also making bunting at the moment and might be of interest to group members are the Craftivist Collective http://craftivist-collective.com/ (more info and contact through Steph)
