Chance glance at people emptying store rooms in chichester and we are tomorrow taking the stuff out of the skip and into projects. We have been collaborating with a Southampton Charity, that re-uses, for children projects. We will also be developing a database for people to say what they are looking for their projects, so when we are given oppertunities we can activate 'the matrix of oppertunities'. Its important that all voluntary organisations declare what they are looking for. We started this with the swhag spitfire project and now wish to extend this pilot study to cover all the projects we are involved with.
We tried to collaborate with an internet en-physco-pedia, what a trial that was. You enter synchronome in it and you get GPO master clocks, not the famous gravity arm master clock. I dont often give up but the 'information police of this organisation' are as a blocked toilet. As discussed with group members, the stance, a scientific one, is to first define the base of the reference, i.e. individual/organisation and then to contribute information, which this particular internet based one is lacking for industrial heritage, electric, commercial and turret horology. They called this advertising and banned me. Saves a lot of effort, considering we are higher ranking them them. I dont like the 'class structure' that has started to creep into the internet, who dont reckognise out of ignorance. Would be interested in others comments on the matter and other 'open' projects.
Well grumble over, with 320 members and a further 80 members in the other groups, think we have done very well so far bringing like minded people together, what real soical networks are about and gives industrial heritage a future.
Run by onamission, from synchronome to eureka electric clocks, why not make it happen and join one of the free www.clocktrust.com clubs.
