  1. This week has been focused on setting up a questionnaire to gather information about bands in Ireland and pursuing more informal methods of information gathering.   The response to the questionnaire has been good so far but it's still a fraction of what we hope is out there in terms of useful materials.
  2. A media campaign is being planned in Northern Ireland in the next few weeks in the hope of harnessing more people looking and locating relevant materials.
  3. 14 more NIBA booklets have been received and will be scanned in the coming days. The whole set of available NIBA judge's remarks will be made available on line in due course.
