We held our first event as part of this process on Monday 12th March where people from across Lincolnshire got together to discuss ideas and collaborations at the Red Lion Quarter in Spalding.
It was an open space event – meaning that there were no speakers or a pre-determined agenda. The running order, and topics to be discussed, were pitched and chosen by attendees. Here’s what the agenda looked like in the end:
