London Exhibition Meeting

Today the whole cohort met for the first time to discuss the preparations for the BA London Exhibition. The meeting was not well organised today, and the lecturers suggested that in future the Chair Person should have more control of the meeting, and that it should feel more professional.

Matters discussed were

• fund raising activities
• Finding Sponsorship and who from the group was going to take responsibility for this
• car boot sales were discussed as an option to raise funds
• an equipment sale had taken place raising £300 
• quiz nghts
• Valentine Photo Shoot at a venue in Swansea on Feb15th
• various other matters 
• A Facebook Event page creation was allocated to a student

The meeting went on quite a long time, and it was obvious that the group were losing concentration. It was a little frustrating.

I had made a decision not to take part in the London exhibition due to financial constraints, but I am still in two minds about it. It would be a good experience to exhibit my work in London, it would look good on my CV, and one never knows if some offer or opportunity may be forthcoming. But I am still unsure. When I spoke to Paul, the Financial Representative, he said that I should be part of  the group exhibit in London, and that I might regret it if I decided not to attend. I will consider carefully again,  but I must admit that I am not overawed by the prospect of setting up a big exhibition far away from home. Am I being unwise?
