Meeting with the Museum Trust

Last Friday we had a meeting with two people from the museum trust, the councillor of Swale and the PR of Swale at Swale Borough Council.

People at the meeting:

- Mike Whiting - Swale councillor
- Michael Baldwin - Head chairman for 'Friends of Milton Regis'
- Paul David - Secretary for 'Friends of Milton Regis'
- Mike McGann - PR for Swale
- Me, Sei-Kai, Tim and Illy

We only had an hour for our meeting as Mike Whiting was very busy that day, however an hour seemed to be enough. We was able to get a ton of information such as the history of the building, who the 'Friends of Milton Regis' are and what they are doing to raise money for this building; as well as explaining what plans we had towards this video.

During the meeting Michael, said that he would get me into contact with the historian that has some archived images that we could use towards our video.

Notes from the meeting:


After the meeting Michael and Paul took us to the Milton Regis building. This gave me, Sei-Kai, Illy and Tim time to check out the building and think about lighting, what areas we would film interviews, as well as the health and safety of the building, due to it being hundreds of years old.

Paul gave us a bunch of leaflets that had information about the building and the surrounding area. I have also been contact by John Clancy, who is part of the Archaeology and Heritage of Swale, said that he is willing to give us a copy of his manuscript about the history of the building, before it is published as a book.

I'm very happy with how the meeting went and feel much more better on what type of information we could include in our news package. As we have a lot more information I feel that our next step would be writing a first draft of the script.
