Present: Isabel, JC, Stanley and Joanne.
We are back from our summer holiday and ready to plan our next activities! Here is what was discussed:
1, Bang Goes the Borders. BGTB is in Melrose this Saturday and Isabel, JC and Stanley will be going to represent SG Glasgow. We will bring postcards of our UnsungHeroines and will be extracting three coloured pigments from spinach using equipment found in any home. BGTB is at St Mary’s school in Melrose if anyone else wants to join the fun!
2, MOSSFest. Mugdock country park near Milngavie is hosting MOSSFest on October the 8th. Amy and Imogen will be taking our VelcroMicrobiome event and Joanne will join the Wellcome Centre for Molecular Parasitology for an UnsungHeroines event. The Centre for Virus Research are also going and will try to display our logos so hopefully SG Glasgow will be at three stalls – amazing!
3, Grants. We are applying for various PE grants to try to bring our UnsungHeroines to a larger audience. Watch this space to see whether we are successful or not..
4, Change of management. Joanne is stepping down as general secretary as of the next meeting (October 21st) and Isabel will be taking her place, which leaves an opening for chapter lead. Anyone interested in the role should come along to the next meeting where you can pitch your ideas and we will vote in a new leader.
Next meeting October 21st at 2pm. Venue TBC
