October launch

7.00pm, Wednesday 22 October

Following in the footsteps of other community debates, a simple invitation for all-comers to share ideas, thoughts, skills and knowledge about almost everything and everything.

A Thousand Ideas...got masses of publicity but only a small audience. It was an event much enjoyed by all though, and led to discussion about the long term importance of such a project.

If the matter interests you, share an idea. Get in touch with Barry Hepton at the Hub (01529 308710) to arrange filming.

Thousand Ideas is a project to collect ideas and knowledge from everyone. It will take the form of a library that builds and builds.

The subject matter is anything and everything providing it meets common sense of decency.

The mechanism is a three minute short in a format that can be put on to the internet and shared with all-comers.
