GREENHAUS NOTES FOR NEXT YEAR 2010
Start on a positive note – much improved from 2008. Better venue. A sense of a team beginning to emerge. Better variety of classes on offer.
Really good to have assistants
What could make it better:
• Finalising the teachers and the programme in good time so that we can get it in to the programme.
• Be very clear how to sign up for the classes (in the programme and online), how many in each class and what age groups apply.
• We need to work out how the sign up is going to be. ½ in the Hub the day before and ½ on the door was what we thought would work so long as people knew that in advance.
• Better naming of classes so that it is clear what the classes are about, maybe label them studio A, B, C
• Improved signage - sandwich boards around the venue
flyers and stickers to advertise the Greenhaus around the site.
• What we call the classes – we had workshop 1 and 2 on the floor above us so we need to come up with the right naming of classes.
• Scheduling – some classes need more time to end and clear up, so we need to schedule these at the end of the day or before lunch.
• It would be good to have a blacked out area.
• If we had another room detached from Cottage Rake, we could do quiet activities like Ian Long’s drawing and prayer or Talks which are difficult in a multi use space.
• We need resources for clearing up – bin bags, kitchen roll etc.
• Also need blutac and masking tape.
• Re the exhibition in the hub at the end of the sessions. It happened on the first day but we failed after that as we were so tired by the end of the day. Not good, so maybe it requires an effort or expectation from all involved in the teaching/volunteering.
• We need a way of identifying the teachers – could be a clip on badge.
