I don’t know why the image turned to ‘landscape’! just incase you were not able to read the details, the event is at the Willis Museum in Basingstoke Town Centre, Saturday 02 June, from 10am to 4pm. The bus and train stations are within a walking distant from the location. I hope to see many people

Hello Gabrielle.
Sorry for the slowness in replying I have been working towards my final deadline and have been ignoring my e-mails/communication duties. The reasons the council cancelled the event are farcical, to say the least, as of yet we have not received a ‘straight’ response from them. The nominated council contact point within our group was informed on the 11th at 17:00 that the council had ‘not received’ the appropriate paper work, this is obviously not true. The second time somebody, namely the old oak community center, contacted the council they we’re given a different story, ‘health and safety’ was the issue this time. When the council we’re contacted for the third time, by the wormwood scrubs pony center who we had been working closely with on the project, the council sited a ‘lack of involvement’ with the planning of the event.

I can only apologies for the lack of a notice to inform people, i had assumed that my colleagues would produce one and vice versa, a mistake I admit but we are only human. We were however on hand all afternoon and spoke to several people, personally advising them about the cancellation.

I and the rest of the group would like to continue this discussion, maybe face-to-face or via e-mail, if that is more appropriate for you, my e-mail is ss101je@gold.ac.uk. We are considering our options at the moment, trying to decide which course of action is best, as you seem to have far more experience dealing with the council than us we would greatly appreciate getting some advice from you.

Yours in kindness James Ellison

Really disappointed at cancellation – a notice might have been nice to let people know. What grounds did the council give for cancelling? Notices through localetterboxes had resulted in many people arranging to meet there, left wandering around in search of a bouncy castle on a sunny day.

That’s interesting, The lack of central organisation in Syria says something about close relationship between neighbours, doesn’t it. People know who lives where etc.,.

I was also thinking about Petra too. All people who live in ‘Petra’ has the same address ‘ Petra’.

Hi Chie, that is interesting… if you go to my birth-town in Syria there are no streets names (apart from the 2-3 main roads), and no blocks names, but there are names for different big areas, so how to find someones house? Easy…. you ask where does this person/family (you name them) live, people take you to them – looking at protestors’ webpage while the city was under attack, it was funny how they were stating the tanks movement: it passed this person’s house, and then went towards that family’s farm.. etc.

So in regard to the film about what is an empty space, the map in Syria (in many parts) belongs to people’s names and families, does that hence make streets and houses empty spaces? x
