ND Contacts

My laptop is being shit, so I can't scan stuff in right now, but this is the two contacts we got from ND:

Robene Dutta - Mantra Lingua TalkingPEN
www.mantralingua.com
www.talkingpen.co.uk

I'm assuming this is the guy that wants to do the cardboard exhibition? All that's written down is: 21 August, Bird exhibition, wants to do something involving cardboard.

Then there is:

Noisefestival.com
Victoria Turnball
Special Projects.

That's the shops in Manchester thing.

What do people want to do about this stuff? Anyone still interested/around to talk about stuff?

How can we use her ? By the way at New Designers yesterday I was
"playing" with the new batch of Goldsmiths Design Graduates who have
amazing potential. They have a brilliant format for engaging the
public in debate about design ... Would you like to meet with them ?
Love , S xxx

Dear Carole ,

Thank you for your email. I am forwarding below a copy of my email of
13th July which explains my change of mind – I hope you understand.

You are doing really good things but I like to channel my energies .

Hopefully you will be able to find other ways in involving me within
your networks.

See you soon I hope.

With kind regards ,

Sydney

Dear Dorothy ,

Thank you for this.

Having studied the agenda I can see that this is not what I thought it
would be !

I am deeply involved in Social Innovation but with Social Enterprise
at the heart . I had , perhaps , misunderstood the main topic as being
the delivery of funding to beneficiaries rather than the provision of
effectively pro bono advice to a profit making enterprise.

In the circumstances please accept my apologies on this occasion.

With kind regards ,

Sydney

Pitch space write up

The Pitch Space = Presuming we’re going with the idea of working in small groups, each group will have two minutes to ‘pitch’ their idea to the crowd. There will be a soapbox, so the nominated speaker from each group will stand up there to deliver their pitch. A bell or whistle will sound at the start and end of two minutes [or it can double ring and start and end and single ring at the 30 seconds before the end] at which point, the elected member from the next group gets up and begins their speech and so on. There is a board supplied, where people can pin some drawings to hold up while pitching. The pitch should deal with the starting point of the idea, include the process, any theoretical background, possible material realisation with some explanation of user and context and possible further development. If you don't finish your pitch in the alloted time, you will not be allowed to finish. [fun fun]

Hey Guys!

I am putting a timetable together for everyone's attendance on the
five days of the exhibition. Presumably everyone will be at the
private view. Could you tell me when/ if you are unable to be at the
show at any point within these fews days before I put a rota together.
Below are the opening times. I expect we will be there a few mins
before and after the show opends everyday so that everything is
tidy/presentable and safe.

Wednesday 15 July
15:00-18:00 VIP & Press Preview
18:30 - 21:00 Awards Preview Evening


Thursday 16 July 11:00-18:00

Friday 17 July 11:00-18:00

Saturday 18 July 11:00-18:00
