Actions!!

The actions that came out of the brainstorming are:

1.Visit to the Science Museum: there are lots of interesting exhibitions here, one on Plastics is very good, but found that the one on Energy is very interactive. It is perfect for children because they can play and learn about alternative energy at the same time. It was soo cool, I loved it and wanted to play as well, so I guess its not just for kids.
 
2. Visit to Stanley Gibbons: Stanley Gibbons is a collector's shop. It is amazing!! I never imagined that collecting stamps could be soo diverse and so big! This store has everything collectors could want, including some VERY expensive stamps and rare ones as well. Bought a book there, for stamp reference: Stanley Gibbon's Collect British Stamps 2008. It is like a stamp design index so that the collectors can identify them properly. I really recommend if you are even remotely interested in stamps, that you go to this shop, it really is amazing. 

3. Visit to the Post Office: Actually in the Post Office they weren't very helpful, but hey, it was expected. Bought a set of stamps to see the layout of the presentation, and the design of these stamps as well. The theme for the ones I bought is : Classic Carry On and Hammer Films. Decided to buy these, because the design is different. We asked if we could get more info on where they print the stamps, and they said we should email customer services.

Also we will email printers and designers, apart from the post office. These printers and designers have been related to stamps so hopefully they'll share their expertise on designing/printing them.

Here are a few things I found interesting about the museum:
