Before seeing Bernadette's idea for realisation, and following on from the conversation Jonny and I had had on the blog, I'd been thinking more about a potential idea.
We could choose a number of pubs and do the one photo per hour idea that Jonny had, and looking at the variety of people who come in during the day, perhaps with photos / photoessays / interviews through which we can look at the regulars / patrons of the pubs. We could create, in effect, a exportable package that is offered to pubs, with them being able to have A Day In The Life of The Rose exhibition or display in the pub. That's perhaps a sideline, but through looking at the findings we could hopefully see how pubs transcend / adhere to class structures, as well as bringing a sense of community back to pubs, having said that we feel many have become commercialised and perhaps not seen as people's 'second lounge' any more.
I'd been mulling this over whilst at work last night and perhaps haven't articulated it in the best of ways so apologies for that, haven't had chance to post until now.
Anyway, I feel like there is really something in the idea posted by Bernadette. I know 'New School Economics Goldsmiths' recently planned a 'Not So Economic Pub Crawl', perhaps we could look at a similar kind of event highlighting social or economic differences at pubs.
Let's have a think and discuss in the project planning session tomorrow, see you all then!
