Chaired by Bide and JJ
Aidan absent.
With the putting to bed of the “dissertation” earlier in the week an easier atmosphere was enjoyed and appreciated. We have very little to get in the way of finishing of our project with a flourish.
Main points covered were:
Sean queried the look needed for the kitchen utensils, what to cover them with? Give them earthenware, stone or wood finish. This to be researched and passed on to Sean in time for next week.
The rest of the time was concerned mostly with add-ons. Should we have a lectern type stand inside the entrance door with an ancient book or manuscript on it? Also we have to look into the possibility of having an armory chest or rack festooned with period (fighting) pieces. Other ideas bandied around and seem worth exploring were things such as wall hangings, some type of Gaelic scrolls, pithy phrases from some of the old scholarly writings and maybe even a poem in Gaelic with English translations. All will be looked at and should yield some rewards.
JJ wants us to have a closer look at the religion of the time. Find out if there is a purely Celtic form of Christianity or was it associated with Rome either loosely or more closely bonded.
For next week we need:
Sean to have examples of the kitchen utensils with the appropriate cladding.
Aidan to have the collision avoidance up and running.
JC to have positive info on the church, more in depth coverage of the eating habits and much more on the every day habits of the time. This with a view to having a companion booklet or hand out of some sort availably with general information on the castle, the times and our involvement with the project.
Also will have to have some progress on the background/ambient music with a better handle on the possibility of a voice over on some selected areas/aspects of the tour.
