needed




Hello, Groundwork MST and Catherine Hartley are putting in a bid to the Heritage
Lottery Fund (HLF) to fund a heritage project about the Irk Valley including the
Moston Brook. We have put in an expression of interest to the HLF and have had a
meeting with them to discuss how we should progress to the full application form
stage. So far the proposal is to have representatives from community groups
across North Manchester driving and managing the project with the support of
Groundwork. These representatives would therefore come together to discuss how
we should run the project, to carry out research and take part in any workshops
in how to record memories, or research local history etc. At the moment we are
calling this the Irk Valley Heritage Steering group. The representatives
themselves would then carry out research and encourage the community in their
area to be involved in researching their area or attending heritage events. The
end result would then be to bring all the information from the different areas
together and produce a resource about the history of the area, ideas so far are
a guided walk down Irk Valley and Moston Brook (perhaps something that can be
downloaded onto a mobile/mp3 player so you can listen as you walk), or training
local residents to be guides, producing a website/leaflets etc. But what the end
result actually is will depend on the Heritage Steering group. In 2006 a number
of us (from Friends of Angel Meadow) were involved in History workshops which
resulted in the Information Boards now located in the park and the creation of
the history Book and CDROM. Is anyone interested in getting involved in this
Heritage project? We are keen to find some volunteers and a representative for
the group, Friends of Angel Meadow who will contribute to the Heritage Steering
group? If you'd like to get involved – please drop me a message – Mike Wingfield
- msrwingfield@... or contact Laura Jagota, from Groundwork at
Laura.Jagota@... are hoping to get a meeting organised for the
end of April so please let me know if you're interested soon. Cheers, Mike
Wingfield
