Trainers

Below is the list of trainers that will be present on the day

We will have 4-5 laptops in the main museum room on wifi.

We are expecting about 5 museum staff / volunteers and may be 1 or 2 others to help out with public interest

Debbie's plan is to to advertise the sessions in 2 batches 2-3.45 and 4.15-6pm for those who wanted to come and write and people could sign up before hand. Some people may just want to pop in and see what we are doing. In terms of actual involvement, we are imagining 4 - 5 laptops connected up with groups of 2-3 writing / researching per laptop so we can accommodate 10-12 in each session.
