Thanks for a productive meeting. A few notes below:

Attendees: John Stack, Simon Popple, Tim Smith, Alex Butterworth, Helen Graham, Wayne Cocroft, Arran Rees.

• There was a quick update on where the mini investigations had gotten, pointing towards the written summaries on the Docs & Files area of the textiles pilot working group on Basecamp.
• Tim Smith and Simon Popple confirmed they would be happy talking for 10 minutes on their work as part of the mini-investigations
• We discussed the structure of the reflection workshop and clarified some of the desired outcomes:
  • Better understand some of the tangible / actionable outcomes of this phase of research, and how they will feed into the next
  • Identify some of the joining points in the work that has happened so far.
  • Actively consider the material conditions of the project, its structure, and its make up.
  • What the next phase includes / excludes
• We also had short conversations about the digital exhibition, which was parked for a future date, and Wayne noted that he had some good contacts for cotton related histories in the North West that he would share.
