We are now into the 4th week of training with the latest recruits. There are 6 new members who are being buddied by Peter & Hobbow from team 1. We also have the help of a new volunteer called Steve. Everyone is really keen to learn about the media and are full of ideas and skills that we can use.
Michael has campaigning experience having been a member of HAVOC for 3 years and involved in many successful campaigns.
Alan is a very good photographer, he is currently exhibiting his work at the Herbert Art Gallery in Coventry and in the summer he had his own book called Alan's Coventry: a photographic record of Alan's favourite parts of the City.
Christine is chair of Birmingham People First and brings lots of experience of campaigning, she is an accomplished photographer and she has already recruited someone else to join next week.
Edward is really interested in the news and current affairs. He will always be ready to challenge and get more information so will make an excellent interviewer if we need one.
Scott is a keen fan of soaps and has just started a drama course, he is also very keen to do extra work outside of the training time.
Philip has wanted to be in the team since the project started so is full of enthusiasm as he has finally managed to fit us in. Philip has lots of confidence and is always happy.
The project staff are looking forward to working with the new team members and getting to know them.
