watercolours

Juke Box - I have made all the CDs for the juke box and 90% of the drawings for the selector unit. I hope to have all these finished and scanned asap so they will be ready to go onto the juke box. Its been much more time consuming than I imagined as I decided to do it the hard way (!) - watercolour images of each bird!
The good news is that I have learned to recognise many more birds than ever before - and it will look lovely.

I understand the jukebox is all ready to install, so once all the cds and images are on, the fitting team can get it installed.

Meanwhile I believe Laura will be organising sessions for staff in how to record their own tracks etc

Pic Nics
It soon comes around!
We did say we would try to hold the pic nic during the week of 12-16th April.. This is OK with me on either Weds 14th or Friday 16th
But will that be OK for FACT to get the shoot team together (sounds and cameras) and PICU to organise transport etc? - we also need to meet again with Touchstone to think about the questions we will be discussing during the picnic and what to take with us (food, chairs, wind break etc)? I'm happy to delay if people think thats better idea...?
After doing some recces earlier this year, I think High Town is a good location, north of Liverpool before Formby. There is a wide estuary there with birdlife on the river and good views of the ships leaving Liverpool....there is also a train station if people need to leave early for example. We could stop en route to look at the Gormly work which was also suggested.

Bird Tables
Ed was working on the bird tables installation and we determined the best locations in the grounds - The location of the monitors will be above the nurses station near the bedrooms within a purpose built casing - I'm looking forward to hearing about the progress on the design for that...

I'll look forward to seeing you all again soon
