Six pallets of LUSH soap arrived on Monday and the delivery and storage went smooth overall. Sarah Jane Palmer, Katie Hilton and Anna Hawkings came down to help, big thanks! It was possible to wheel the pallets (apart from one) straight into storage space which made the job a lot easier. But then …
I wanted to pay for the a-n add and realised funding hadn’t come through …. I investigated and discovered I was supposed to send a risk report which I hadn’t. My heart froze an sunk. I overlooked a condition for the funding, how stupid! I didn’t even know what I was supposed to write in a risk report so mailed several people I thought might know and again found lots of support.
Sorting that out was another steep learning curve and took up all this last three days. I’ve finally send it off waiting anxiously for what comes back from the Arts Council. They have been very supportive and understanding.
The flyers are printed now and they look good; the posters for the A-stand on the pavement are delayed as there where problems at the printers. I received my sexy grey boiler suit under which I’m going to wear all the layers I can fit in.
Yesterday I found an old trolley and stool in David Lobo’s business on little London Rd who lets me borrow them for a charge. It also turned out that he is a joiner and can do the blocking up of the arch in the Grain Warehouse. Great!!
Today I met with Ian Soutar from the Sheffield Telegraph. We had an interesting chat and he’ll write about the project.
