Patrick & Libby Visit

We had a visit on the 4th of February 2016 by two members of the Sumac Centre, Patrick and Libby. These two ever-so-kind human beings provided us with the relevant and necessary information we required on the Sumac Centre. Their website was a beginning for us in requiring information, however obtaining inside knowledge of the centre, its ambitions and its accompanied campaigns such as the Veggies Vegan Catering Campaign.

They went into a brief history of the Sumac Centre to begin with, this information was already on their website, hearing it from them however, made it a lot more interesting and concluded it being reliable information.

Their visit overall was not entirely informative than it was reliable, it was all more of a confirmation. However certain things mentioned by Libby were recorded where he states of things that we had not heard of yet. The things we hadn’t heard of that he mentioned were particular events carried out by the Sumac Centre. The only way in which you can find out more about these events is via their Twitter or on their website. One of these events he mentioned was how they allowed metal bands to come play at their centre. He states that all of the events they hold are free, however donations are appreciated.

Patrick was a lot more informative on the whole ‘Veggies’ side of the Sumac Centre and how they came into relations with the Sumac Centre. He mostly covered everything that was already available on their website however.

Having them come in to talk to us was rather interesting however it seemed as though they had no idea what they want to do themselves. We discussed various ideas with the two guys about how we could help their centre and possibly promote it. These two were great to talk to about what it Is like at their centre and the things that they’ve accomplished. However I feel personally that we require to speak with someone that knows what the centre needs, or can discuss critically on how this can all be achieved.
