Agenda for February Meeting (February 18th)

Time: 7.45pm
Place: Bishop Lloyd's Palace

Item 1: Habitats Exhibition.

The meeting will start with Kate Riddington, Keeper of Natural History at the Grosvenor Museum, Chester, who has kindly agreed to come in and let us know more about an exhibition which is taking place at the museum this summer:

The habitats exhibition is hopefully going to be part of the MLA (museum, libraries, and archives) NW Renaissance's project to open up natural sciences collections. We are looking for new ways to use natural sciences collections to inspire people and to reach new audiences. The project would be then be used as part of a regional case study.

Kate will bring us samples and pictures as stimulus for poetry about the different habitats across Cheshire.

Item 2: Election of post of Treasurer.

Irene Matthewson, after about ten years exemplary service as treasurer, has tendered her resignation so item 2 is election of a new treasurer.

Item 3: Website.

Item 4: Readings.

Either your own work or 'The Homework'. (this was to take something from your handbag or pocket or car - or drawer where you keep miscellaneous objects...

(i) Describe it

(ii) Write about memories it evokes - where you got it, when you got it, what does it reminds you of when you see it.)


Item 5: Homework

This month it will be to write about a habitat as introduced by Kate above.
Alternative: Choose a habitat (could be your garden or nearby park or window box) and describe it from the point of view of someone who has never been outside before (bubble child or held captive).
