[matilda] pickmeup article

[dougald hine]

Hi everyone,

I'm doing a Sheffield "special issue" for Pickmeup magazine this week.

Pickmeup is a weekly email zine that comes out every Friday. It's not
come out of the DIY culture the way a lot of things at Matilda have,
but it is very DIY (& non-commercial, obviously). Here's their
description of the stories they like:

"Every story should be a 'call to action'. Preferably a personal
story, first person, that people can read and go 'yeah, that sounds
brilliant, i wanna do that' (or 'nah, altho that was very exciting
story to read, i don't think i wanna do that') "

I did an article for them a few months ago, telling Mark's story & the
history of the building, as well as a bit about the beginnings of
Matilda. (This was when we were just starting.) You can read it here -

My idea - if it's OK with everyone - is to do a story this week about
some of the different things that are happening in Matilda. I'll come
round and interview people in the different collectives about what
they're doing & take a few pictures to show how the building's being
transformed.

If anyone has any questions about this, we can discuss it on the list,
or I'll be at the Monday meeting.
