A contribution made during the exhibition at St.George's Hall on the 7th July 2010

An important word for me is the word 'Homecoming'. Yesterday I joined the 'Philosophy in Pubs Enquiry' session in one of the side rooms on what 'Pride in Liverpool' means. Should we be 'Proud of Liverpool' ? And two words kept cropping up in our discussion: the words 'Connected' and 'Community'.

Following the exhibition which took place over the 7th, 8th & 9th Juy, we are currently working on the next stage - the website information and the books to be published. This is the first year of such an event for Pride in Liverpool exhibition and it will continue over the years.

So many people had the opportunity to show their input...some absolutely fantastic projects, some wonderful memories shared...some unbelievable generous input of time, effort and energy made.

Welcome to the people we met at the LCVS Its a Knockout event on Sunday 22nd August. Pride in Liverpool is looking forward to more and Road Shows and events. Please contact me via e-mail or phone and we can then arrange a date and time to visit your venue. It was a great day at Mossley Hill Athletic Club...the sun shone and lots of fun and enjoyment over the day. Well done LCVS.

PRIDE IN LIVERPOOL is a city-based organisation that aims to increase all Liverpool citizens knowledge and appreciation of the area in which they live. Following on from the success of 2008 and the city's status as European Capital of Culture, it is about the pride we have about our entire city, from L1 to L39.
