Appropriate preparations for this week's workshop involve clarification of the process of assignment of projects for non-pitched groups. This is due to the issues arising from non-attendance of previous workshops and as a result has affected the group's ability to delegate tasks at this stage. Consultation with Mark has allowed us to clarify that some of the projects 'do not compete with assigned groups' and as such we shall wait until this is confirmed. As a result; the legitimacy of the group as it stands at this point in time is not guaranteed. However; I (Peter) will be making contingency preparations for any outcome based on the advice given by both Mark and the unit leader Bex Lewis.
