Snow cancels workshops

A bitter disappointment for all concerned (no pun intended). Camborne School has no option but to cancel tomorrow's workshop because of today's heavy snowfall, which continued until midday. Culdrose (Naval Station) is predicting more.
A real shame as we had spent a lot of time preparing for this. A date to be rescheduled for the New Year.

Preparations for the next round of workshops

In Cornwall, making preparations for the next round of workshops. Starting in Camborne on 30 November. Interviewing potential people for the team. At long last have the chance to go to one of the Media Sub  Group meetings with Judith Cook in Truro (Judith is over-seeing the Migration Impact Fund work by various groups.)
A sunny day with a frosty start.
Making notes en route in Truro.

A call from Camborne en route to Ally Pally

It's the Knitting and Stitching Show set up day at Alexandra Palace, and am battling through traffic to get there (to set up a Bridging Arts display) when Julie Rowe calls from Camborne School to see whether we can stage a day of workshops there in late November. Stop by the side of the road in Muswell Hill.
She'd like a team of migrant workers to work with us, and the students, so that we reach a whole year group at once. A great idea - and what great timing. We have just got the go-ahead to proceed with the next round of workshops.
