Steve is meeting Andy Jefferson (Head of Parks and Gardens) re; QG and Pearson Park. Stewart will also attend.
Stewart has spoken to a community musician who would like to provide a day’s workshop as a tutor. He has all types of instruments and will cost £180. Everyone agreed this was a good idea and Stewart will book him. He will need a marquee and volunteers.
10 Community Wardens have been agreed to attend the Gig from 12-6pm and also 5 for Pearson Park. ALL STEWARDS NEED TO BE CRB CHECKED, so no longer have young people. They can still be volunteers for stage management etc. They are to wear t-shirts – Steve to contact Nahro.
Sound System – HPSS are unavailable but they are checking out other potential engineers. Possibly use the Warren’s music system
Bands – Stewart and Paul H have emailed some African bands, Dilzar, Haku
Compere/ MC – potentially a young person from the Warren
Stage Management – again use the Warren’s team
Workshops – Donna Smith could do a singing workshop – Paddy will contact, Louise Cramond could do belly dancing – Paul H to contact, henna painting – Gvants? Scrapstore – paddy to contact. Story telling – Seiku – Paul will contact.
We need a person to open the event- possibly someone from the Police or the Leader of the City Council, Carl Minns, and Steve to ask.
Small events –The Lamp- we are unable to have the Sunday 17th for our event but can have the Monday 18th. We still need artwork for the exhibition and Stewart will organise some workshops possibly with Artlink. The exhibition can be up for 3 months. Steve still has the ‘Faces of Kabul’ photos so we can use some of them.
On Tuesday 20th June ARKH will have an open afternoon, from 11-3pm; there will be food, music and info for the public to take away. There is also space for stands so if any organisation wants to show case their info, please contact Gloria.
On Thursday 21st there will be a conference called ‘Talking Asylum’ at Hull Community Church, 4-7pm. The cost to hire is £90 and we agreed on this price. There will be food, music, info and stories told are refugees.
The Adelphi idea may possibly be scrapped as we need to concentrate on the Gig the next day but they may do something that we don’t need to attend.
Sports day – on the Sunday 24th – we need to buy fair-trade footballs and trophies.
Do we have Banner Theatre again? The Warren could host it, Steve and Stewart to meet and discuss.
See you at the next meeting.

MEDIA SUB-GROUP FEEDBACK
Nahro and Steve met with Viking Radio last week about having a myth busting campaign again. We want to challenge those hard to reach people. An idea is to use children’s voices to provoke people, possibly from B.M.E communities. Can people ignore children’s voices? Viking Radio is bringing back their ideas and Steve will try to gain funding for this from Hull City Council instead of using our core budget. He will report back at the next meeting.
The funding bid has been approved by the Council and we urgently need to produce a Licensing Application to use 28 days before. Please get all of your arrangements to Steve ASAP as these needs to go to the Police and the Council.
OTHER ITEMS
Can everyone think about what resources they need and costings for the small events? Please bring to the next meeting.
The Tenant Participation Team wants to have a stand on the day to raise
awareness of housing in Hull. Trestle tables are available.
