I received the finished pages of the fanzine through the post today! It really makes a good quick and informative read and its fun!
I'll scan all the pages when I get chance so you can see them on here too.
Our final editing and collating session went well last Friday
and the photographer from MerseyCare came along to take some snaps
of us all holding our pages and smiling. So that will be in the internal newsletter for all to see.
We discussed the title and it was generally felt that as this is a fanzine it shouldnt be taken too literally. We are nt ACTUALLY advocating encouraging pigeons on the site, but are sympathising with those that are stigmatised and excluded; asking people to consider all birds (and people) equally. However, if the group wish to modify the title for different issues, its fine to do that too, as In Defence came out of an informal discussion and was a working title.......

spelling
apologies! - the word DEFENSE has been misspelt till today (Thanks again Brael)!!
DefenCe is the American spelling apparently - thankyou Microsoft..... but unfortunately I cant change the URL here - so it remains www.indefenceofpigeons.blogspot.com !!!

second fanzine workshops
Thanks to Brael for the following new "tip":
When frustrated, learn to calm your mind.
Breath.
Focus on Good Energy
Remove yourself from the stressor / negativity
Listen to music
Some really good tips have come out of this project - I thought we might get some more humorous ones as well - but serious is just fine. After all the PICU experience is a serious business..
and thanks again to Dan and Bernie who made a collage of footballers.
The Touchstone group are racing away with the fanzine, and we reckon that by the end of next week, the first issue could be complete.
But we're already getting ideas for the next issue! Staff on the unit, who are making an archive of activities suggested a 'Top Ten Activities" issue, whilst the Touchstone thought about a poetry issue.
If anyone wats to add a drawing, article or joke for next Friday's final edit, just e.mail it to me, type it in the comments section, or pass it to Bryony......
