So who is the fine bunch? Well it came rather appropriately out of some blue sky talking that turned initially rather cloudy, and then coalesced around a set of discussions by a small bunch of people - in the pub and elsewhere – that we were at a key stage of creating narrative in Huddersfield: of networking and circulating ideas. To this end we considered the work of Phil Wood and Calvin Taylor and their paper "Big Ideas for a Small Town: The Huddersfield Creative Town Initiative"

The small bunch became a bit bigger and ended up as a fine bunch - and what better way to create narrative than a series of debates about where we have got to and where we go next (amongst other things of course).

Time to get us all started.
