Posters to be created for the Vintage day / Scarecrow festival event in September, ready for the Gala Programme deadline next week. DH to contact Dewsbury Bus Museum to query the vintage bus plan and insurance. BR has created a draft route plan for the bus to follow which is to be confirmed with the Bus Museum. Once confirmed, the SAG can be created and submitted to the council. Entry form needs to be created for the classic cars as a disclaimer needs to be signed. It was proposed to change the date from 17th September to 24th September. ME to check with the classic cars, DH to check with the Bus Museum and BR to check Town hall availability.
Wakefield Council has engaged with a company called Beam to pull together a strategy for bringing 2D art and murals in to public spaces (temporary and permanent). Beam have reached out to Visit Ossett and other local community groups. ME had a conversation with Beam who are proposing a plan to submit to the council, who will then choose 10 locations across the Wakefield district for this artwork to be installed. All group members are encouraged to come up with ideas of suitable high traffic areas in Ossett for artwork to be placed and pass on to ME.
