We had two exciting achievements by the end of today. We were down in Langport again for another recruitment meeting, and we also wanted to take our current group to the church to have a first look with a critical eye.
The first achievement was a brand new young person who's enthusiastic about the project, and very Arts-minded, so I'm looking forward to having him at future brainstorming sessions for ideas for the regeneration project.
The second was that we were filmed! The CCT are so excited by the project that they want to use it in a video that will be shown at fundraising events. Very exciting indeed! Catherine and Selvyn who work for RandalFox (who have done work for the CCT before) came down and filmed a meeting and some interviews with young people, including me! Whilst we thought it was a little early in the lifetime of the project to be filming young people with big ideas about the church (we're still really at the recruiting stage), our young people really stepped up to the plate, even the one who turned up for the first time today!
Quite apart from making it a little bit different and fun, I think this also sends a message to our young people, and Langport, that we're excited about this project, and we're taking it seriously, so whilst it felt a bit rushed and a ad hoc, and took over our meeting a little bit, we got a lot out of it as well! (Plus I get to be on telly!... well, video...)
We're hoping that initial recruitment is sorted now and we can start meeting with our young people, as the core team, to start building the HLF project application, so next meeting we're exploring the church in a bit more detail, and thinking about the core team as a consolidated group ... could be interesting!
