Empty Shops Meeting Notes

Notes from the Shops meeting

Please find below the key information from the empty shops meeting.

· We will create an umbrella organisation and identity for empty shops projects throughout the city. This should help us gain publicity and also help link together people who are interested in this type of project. We have agreed this with the Sheffield University Empty Quarter Live project and they will mention this in their final report to Sheffield City Council.

· Our empty shops project will run alongside Art Sheffield, which is from March- May 2009. We will aim to secure four shops and have a number of artists in each on a rolling programme.

· We will need to make an application for funding ideally before Christmas as the Arts Council take 3 months to decide an application for over £5,000.

· We are looking for one or two people who may be interested in looking at the funding application for this project. Julia will be in contact to see if anyone is willing to pursue this.

· We will create a website which will include Sheffield Empty Shops information, such as contacts, other projects and reports (inc Empty Quarter Project Report), creative ideas, useful information. CM will look in to the creation of this.

Next Meeting: Treasure Hunt

Our next meeting to make a series of clues for the treasure hunt will be on Saturday 31st October at 10am... It will be held in the Distinctive Sharrow Action group room at the Old junior school. Please come along to help make clues...

Entry to the treasure hunt will be promoted at the Winter market and forms will also be available to download from the Sharrow Community forum Website and this blog. The prize for the winner will be a signed SUFC Shirt!

Please contact julia@sharrowcf.org.uk for more details...

· Display boards: Adam and Catherine have some a1 display boards which they will kindly donate. We may need some more in the future, but this should be fine for now.
· Furniture: We have access to plenty of furniture, which may need repairing/ patching up. We have a plan chest which will fit A1 drawings. but as the room is used we may find other essential items that we can find at a later date.
