Before we start running ahead of ourselves on this, please remember that we need to get volunteers to help out first! Please spread the word and ask anyone who you think might be able to help.

I'm happy to lend a hand - I had the discussions with the V&A last time - but would prefer someone else led the initiative. It would be particularly good if someone from outside the board could lead this one, given that the other three initiatives are all going to be lead by board members.

Regards,
