What happens when From Docks to Desktops volunteers gather? Laughter, sharing and excitement. On Wednesday 24th October 2012 eleven of our story gatherers, came together to share their experiences of the project so far and refresh their oral history training. During the evening we looked at; what makes a good interview? How do we phrase questions? What follow up questions would you ask? The questions sparked lots of conversations, debates and a questionable reference to Piers Morgan’s interview style by Claire.Wednesday’s gathering was the second of a series of gatherings for our volunteers who with our story tellers and researchers are helping shape the projects direction and content
