Press Release - January Mud

humberMUD turns its attention to Hullness

humberMUD @ Fruit, Humber Street, Hull, HU1 1TU

Thursday, January 20th 2010. 6-9pm. FREE ENTRY!

humberMUD – the networking and knowledge-sharing organisation for those that work or have an interest in the media and creative sectors – holds its first meeting of 2011 this week.

Speakers lined up include Nick Glaves, from Hessle-based The Public Relations Company, who will explain the best way to communicate during a crisis. Photographer Neil Holmes will also present on the subject of 'the Photographer, blogging & social media'.

The regular Clear As Mud forum looks set to be as newsworthy as last month's debate on Hull's broadband connectivity. Following a lot of media interest, Jo Byrne from Arc (the architecture and built environment centre for Hull and the Humber region) will be on hand, alongside other panellists, to discuss the Hullness project.

As reported widely, Arc was awarded a £50k Heritage Lottery Fund grant recently in order to explore the notion of Hullness and Arc will explain what the project is all about.

humberMUD chair Mal Williamson said: “This is a great way to start 2011 and we expect another interesting round of discussions about all of the subjects covered, but especially Hullness given recent media coverage.”

The evening starts at 6pm with free Fudge food and drinks available at the Fruit's licensed bar. Speakers present at 7-9pm and are followed by networking and music from DJ The Reverend.

Entry is FREE and anyone with an interested in the media and creative sectors is welcome to attend.
