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.

Distinctive Sharrow Action Group HQ

This is room is soon to be Action Group HQ- it has potential!

Last night we met to design our Sharrow Action Group HQ! I will circulate minutes, but if you are not on our current mailing list and would like a copy, please contact me on: julia@sharrowcf.org.uk

We will have a decorating day on 15th August 2009. Please attend if possible and invite anyone else you can! I will bring lunch... so please let me know if you can come so i know how much to bring...

We will need the following- please post if you can help with any of the items below:

· Paint! (Plus paintbrushes, rollers, roller trays, masking tape, turps etc) We may be able to get paint donated by Chris Stoke from Stokes Tiles (2589595) or Freecycle. We need people to follow up these contacts.
· Card. Loxley Print Limited may donate some to us- Paul German is Jean Cromar’s contact. This needs to be followed up.
· 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. When we have the painting day we can pick furniture and see what needs to be done. It is agreed that we will try to keep this to a minimum at the moment.
· Rugs/ plants/ lamps/ things to make it feel homely... From freecycle- keep a look out but we don’t want to over clutter...
· Base map on acetate/ projector to paint map on wall. (Julia will provide this)
· Sheet and sewing things and fabric pens to make portable map (This could be done at a later date)...
· Cleaning stuff (Julia will source this)
· Velcro/ picture fixings/ scissors/ tape/ pens, paper/ other crafty type things etc (Julia will try to provide as much of this as possible, but if you have anything, bring it along)
. Any other items you think will be useful (this may not be a comprehensive list!)
