There's a flyer doing the rounds relating to the CIQ Connected event at The
Workstation, Paternoster Row, Sheffield on the 13th March from 5:30pm - 8:00pm.
It reads as below with my annotations in [square brackets]...
"You are invited to the launch of the CIQ Townscape Heritage Initiative [1] and
the CIQ Agency's second annual review of physical regeneration and investment
[2] in the Cultural Industries Quarter and surrounding areas.
The event will demonstrate the connectivity of developments [3] within South
Yorkshire's creative and digital cluster [4] both virtually and physically [5].
Developments covered include Sheaf Square, Sheffield Station, Colombia Place,
Scotia Works and Shoreham Street Gateway...[6]
The evening will also mark the first release of 'CIQ UNCOVERED' (CD Rom) [7].
An ongoing project charting the history and growth [8] of the area now know
[sic] [9] as the Cultural Industries Quarter from the 17th Century to the 21st.
You will have the opportunity for informal discussion and networking over
drinks and refreshments.[10]"
[1] "CIQ Townscape Heritage Initiative" - they seem to have omitted the words
'lack' and 'of' before 'initiative'...
[2] "physical regeneration and investment" - oh, pur-lease...
[3] Will they be demonstrating the "connectivity of decline" too?
[4] "creative and digital cluster" - what on earth is that?
[5] "virtually and physically" - come again?
[6] "...and Shoreham Street Gateway..." - eh? And this flyer makes it sound as
if the CIQA commissioned these 'initiatives' themselves...as if!
[7] 'CIQ UNCOVERED' (CD Rom) - no doubt made with the full (and uncensored)
collaboration of Spearmint Rhino...
[8] "charting the history and growth" - decline and fall, more like it...
[9] Yet again, a lack of attention to detail, I'm afraid...
[10] And the cost to the taxpayer is...?
The flyer is emblazoned with a number of agencies backing this 'initiative'
from the European Union to Objective 1 - so yet more public money wasted, it
would appear.
