[SSC] Meeting on Saturday

[Sandie Stratford]

Thanks, Sarah.  Joyce has kindly offered to chair/ take notes, so perhaps 
we'll draw up the final agenda on arrival?

We need to finalise the scholars' application form, and some practicalities 
around 21st April launch.  I believe David MacAleavey was checking out 
venues.

I visited Tent City University today, delivered a few goodies and a hot 
water bottle - which was snatched up immediately!

Sandie

> (http://www.historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html) but that is a lot more

> about things, on a regular basis.
>
> And I hope we will be able to continuing our ongoing discussion, initiated 
> by Richard and John, about how we explain to the world what we are doing 
> in educational terms, and why.

> Look forward to seeing everyone there!
