I'm back in the swim. Since last Wednesday I've been to 3 evening meetings (only one was local). I quite like event focused ones, but I'm not a fan of those boring admin meetings where the only achievement is to programme another meeting to discuss redrafted documents – again.
Last night was the first meeting at Derby University to discuss the role of the new committee. Rolls Royce, Quad, The National Trust and various public bodies were represented. And me. I wish I wasn't shy.
The new building at Markeaton Street is v impressive and it is apparent some serious money has been spent. The university has just bought the Playhouse too – it is clearly becoming a dominant presence in the city. I feel slightly small.
