Our final planning meeting for Leicester Speaks this morning, at the Adult Education College. Our group today consists of Jitin (TouchRainbow Productions), Tina Barton (Lead Mentor, Leicester Wave and manager of Leicester City Council's Children's Council), Parmjit Basra (Project Officer, Leicester City Council Adult Skills and Learning Services), Max Boden (Leicestershire Chamber of Commerce), Irene Kszyk (Head of Equalities, Leicester City Council), Kate Merrett (Office and Projects Manager, LeicestHer Day Trust), Chris Minter (Head of Leicester City Council Adult Skills and Learning Services).
We discuss the launch event in some detail (including matters of security, health and safety). We're on to the nitty gritty detail now, such as how to get canisters of helium from One Stop Promotions at the top of Granby Street down to the site of the launch event in Humberstone Gate. And our search for a celebrity to appear on stage may have borne fruit - but if what we're hearing this morning is true, then it'll make our launch the most surreal thing seen in Leicester for many a long day! I can't believe Parmjit is reporting this to us with a straight face. We also consider the ever-increasing variety of events on offer throughout the week. There's a very upbeat mood and a sense that we're raring to to get going!
