Food Innovation - Skype call

As we were all in different parts of the country at the time it was most appropriate to pick an evening and Skype call for our first meeting.

28th August - meeting with Lincolnshire rotarian group in Newark 
Make an initial pitch to see if they are interested in the project and if they would be keen to support it. 

Moving forward from this initial meeting
The next step of this process was a meeting with the Rotarians from Lincolnshire, but in Newark at the innovation centre. Although we would not have done any work to present, the company saw it to be a valuable experience for us to attend as it would allow us to one meet the team and two fully understand exactly what the company wanted to try to achieve over in India. 

Purpose of the meeting - 

  

"Misha + Hannah,

But , I think the main thing is to gain insights 

From the meeting as we should benefit 

From have 3 of the Rotarians with us at 

The meeting . 

So they will give us a measure of approaches 

That they would be looking for to enable 

Us jointly to try and push this to their national 

Committee 

Hopefully if all this works out this would lead 

To the UK putting this forward then to their 

Counterparts in India 

But all the time we have to think about the 

Pitch fitting with other groups if it does not work 

With the Rotarians
