Sound of Mu Workshop

We held another very successful workshop in Sound of Mu yesterday. The workshop was attended by around 25 volunteers. After a lively discussion we divided into several groups and started working on various areas of the campaign:

• We began the process of forming a new organisation. It is called "Grünerløkka Kultur og Næring" and will act as an umbrella for all our planned activities. As soon as the organisation is founded we can start raising funds. The committe was voted in as follows: Chairman: Paul Thornton, Treasure: Caroline Roka, Secretary: Kristian Krohg-Sørensen.
  
• The graphic design group will be holding their own workshop to develop a logo for "GKN" and will also be working with the flyers group to come up with some eye catching leaflets, T-Shirts, posters etc to raise awareness of the campaign.
• One of our new members agreed to start contacting borettslags (housing organisations) and asking them to show their support of our campaign.
• Our petition group told the meeting that we have now reached 7500 petition signatures with a lot more still to be collected.
• Several people will be contacting the press to gain greater coverage of Grünerløkkas plight.

If I have forgotten anything I hope that somebody will let me know and I'll update the blog.

From now on we will be organising a bi-weekly meeting in Sound of Mu so that everyone can get together and discuss their progress. I will post the date of the next meeting here and on facebook in the next few days.
