Meeting 3 was successful too

The LBtv group met for the third time on Friday night and once again it was a very successful meeting. Once again we met at the Library Cafe in Lake Street.

Unlike the last 2 meeting we had an agenda and I was taking ‘minutes’, I can confirm I am pretty rubbish at it! We tried to stick to the agenda but there is always so much to talk about!

We have been working on a constitution for a couple of weeks and this was agreed by the group and Mark and I were made joint Chairmen. I have mentioned this before but having a constitution in place means we can move forward. We have been enquiring about Public Liability Insurance but couldn’t even get a quote until they saw our constitution.

Work on the pilot is going really really well. We have a full schedule now and know what the show content will be. We still have to do some pre-recording but things are taking shape nicely. I also think we have our presenting team. We have a great team working of the whole LBtv project and its proving a pleasure to work with them.

During the pilot we will be looking for interaction from the viewers; this will be via Twitter, FaceBook, Windows Live Messenger, email, sms text message. There are still a few things to iron out but it will be a great way to hear YOUR thoughts during the show.

One of the great things about this project is that we really are leading the way. No other Town, City or Village I know of is doing a live show. Who would have thought that the forgotten corner of Bedfordshire is leading the way! I can’t wait for the day when we get contacted and asked how we do it by another like–minded bunch of residents from another Town, City of Village.

Promoting LBtv

Today I was delighted to meet the member of Leighton Buzzard’s Youngevity group and give a talk on LBtv and our plans for the future. It seemed very well received and they liked the idea so lets hope they like it!

I had another idea today… the Youngevity group have different invited guests each week to do a talk and in the near future they will be having a man from a local garden centre talking about winter plants and preparing you garden for the winter. What a great feature that would make on the show! I will have to ask Mick the guys name and invite him on.

I am pleased to say that Go Cycle, the cycling team from Leighton-Linslade Town Council will be on the pilot show. They have agreed to come on and talk about all the fantastic work they do and show us some of the excellent cycling facilities we have in the Town. I am very much looking forward to this as it will be a great way to promote another form of transport in our Town. We have some really good routes and facilities for cycling so we really should make the most of them!

What’s on in Leighton Buzzard?

We have a section on the website dedicated to what’s on in LB. Having spent time on searching a number of different websites looking for something to do in Leighton Buzzard I decided that we need a hub for all the information. There are a few sites with bits of information but no site has everything.

I have been adding stuff to the page for a while now and it is amazing just how much stuff is actually going on!

Take a look for yourself and if you have something to add then let me know ian@leightonbuzz.com

Meeting 3 has arrived already

We have our 3rd meeting this Friday at the Library café. We have quite a lot to discuss and 1 hour never seems long enough. The agenda is being finalised today and will be sent to the team later. On of the 1st things on the agenda is the constitution that mark has written. I will know more tomorrow but I think the general feeling is that LBtv needs to be set up as a committee. This will give us a better footing to make this project a success and something for the people of Leighton Buzzard to be proud of.

I will be giving a talk on LBtv to the Youngevity group in LB tomorrow. The group is for people aged 59+. I am really looking forward to it and delighted to be invited along.

Things are coming along nicely on our opening video for the pilot show. LBtv’s Brian Wilson is the Project Manager for this and its sounds really good. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone so you will just have to watch it and see for yourself!

Now we have this new blog I will be interest to hear any feedback from you – The readers! So feel free J

Ps, all the original blogs up to the 10th September are available here

A new day, a new blog

I have decide to allow Blogger.com to manage my blogs. I think this will be easier to update and I think it looks better.

We have our 3rd meeting confirmed for Friday 18th September at the Cultrual Cafe, LB. I cannot beleive we are at meeting 3 already!? Where has the time gone?

I must admit that I did kind of hope that we would be in a postition to be able to announce a date for the pilot show but there is so much work involved....I am sure it will be worth the wait!
