Welcome to the February edition of the MBD Newsletter.

Well, January was a long cold month in MBD’s new premises. Slippers and long johns were purchased and still our feet remained cold, but our love for the space remains. In January Dave ran a weeklong film project at Sir Jonathan North Community College (Leicester), took a couple of workshops at Essex University and we all sat down with a big blank piece of paper and started to work on the final part of the FOUR SEASONS – SUMMER. The good news is that we all seem pretty much on the same page, the bad news is that it's tough to think about summer in a freezing cold space. So what’s coming up
