Container

The container will be my office and a point of focus for U the residents. There will be a letterbox in the door so U can post in any stories, photos, poems, pictures etc. These will be put up on one wall. Another wall will have a large dry wipe board on it to detail all the events. There will also be a map of the area up on anotherwall on which I would like people to map their mostregular routes. We should end up with a greta drawing which will go into the publication. I also plan to have an old fashioned typewriter in here so that U can come in and under the heading An Outdoor Revoluton write what you think could/should happen in these open spaces or write what you do do or what an outdoor revolution represents to you or make up a story on this theme. Some of these pieces will be published in the publication. All will be archived; perhaps loaded onto a website that U could continue to use and add to when the project is finished?

I will also want to recruit people to take part in the events, to know your ideas for a Coat Of Arms, to hearyour stories and urban legends about the area etc. I will have to make up Questions to pin up.

Do U have something U want to shout about> Sign here for the Speaker's Corner Event.
Are U mouthy and full of ambition? How about trying your luck as a Slam Poet? Sign up here.
Are U fabulous at flipping? Sign here for the Pancake Event.
Do U like painting? Or wouldn't mind having a mugshot done? Sign here for the StreetArt event.
Are U a memeber of a local band. Would U like to perform live?

Do U know something I don't? Do U know any local stories, myths, legends. Are U an angler? Has someone pulled a whopper out of the lake? Do you have any ideas about how we could rename the park?
etc etc
