When the Guardian opened its doors to its readers for last month’s Open Weekend, we (James, Karolin, Chris, Dan and Nina) were there to draw the highlights. Director of the event Madeleine Bunting said “Curiosity and conviviality, the two Cs, were our watchwords.” She forgot ‘cartoons and colouring-in’ obviously, but we all had such a great time we can forgive that. It was a unique job for us – working side by side with Guardian cartoonist and honorary Scriberian Martin Rowson was fantastic… bloated cats defecating haven’t featured so prominently on a Scriberia wall since… er, well since we scribed a talk by Martin Rowson actually!
Sessions which saw editor Alan Rusbridger and senior colleagues meet with loyal readers to discuss the Guardian’s future provided us with a lot of our weightier content, and we supplemented that with the comments, quotes and observations from Twitter, the live blog and from passing punters. At the end of the second day we’d almost filled our 7 metre wall… just leaving room enough room to reveal the word of the weekend. Can you spot it? More pics to follow…
