Hi everyone. It was suggested to me yesterday that an abstract of the report would be useful to include in the email. I'll do this each month from now on, but for this month, please find an abstract below.
Thanks and regards, Stevie Report May 2012 - abstract Our report for May 2012 includes a couple of major highlights. From a governance perspective the main highlight was our annual conference and AGM. This well attended event took place at the Science Museum, London. Activities at the AGM included the election of our new Board of Trustees, presentations on various themes related to our activities and the voting on resolutions. The other main story was the launch of our Monmouthpedia project, which I'm sure you all know about. The numbers for this project were nothing if not staggering. Over 550 new articles, hundreds of improved articles, tens of languages, over 1,000 QRpedia codes in the town... The story received enormous, international press coverage – around 300 notable publications in almost 40 countries covered the story – not to mention blogs and social media. You can see links to these articles, and some photos and video footage from the day, on the page of the full report. The report also contains information about our other activities over the month, including fundraising, communications, events and board activity.
