KLASS had its monthly group meeting last night, and it was a huge success. Alexa Pohl, the researcher from Cambridge who came along to talk to us about her research was hugely appreciated by all.
I had met her at the station, helped by the device of her name in block capitals filling as much of an A4 sheet as I could orchestrate (landscape, narrow margins, Arial Black 185 point, bold) so as to eliminate any chance of us not making contact, and as we had plenty of time to spare and she expressed an interest in the town I took on a small detour to show a few of the nicer bits that we would otherwise have missed. This included the statue of George Vancouver, who I had already told her about because there was no way of avoiding the eyesore known as the Vancouver Quarter. It turned out that she has friends from Vancouver and was therefore very interested to find out about his birthplace.
The meeting itself was such fun that eight 0’clock arrived almost before we knew it. Alexa departed for the station, and most of the rest of us headed for home, all very happy with how things had gone.
My photos, in keeping with this post, are of images relating to King’s Lynn’s tributes to its most famous son (I have already attached these to a thank you email that I sent Alexa)…
