Cemetery 

Hello,

I received this recently and should have forwarded it on, so now do so.
Ideas, suggestions and offers about Newington Cemetery for Doors Open Days
welcome.
As the cemetery is always open to the public anything we might consider
doing on site must at present be uncertain, but worth thinking about.  I
have not responded to this so far.

I look forward to hearing from you

Tony

Hello there,
I am writing to you today because you previously participated or showed an
interest in taking part in the local Doors Open Days initiatives that have
been organised by the Cockburn Association since 1991
<https://www.cockburnassociation.org.uk/history-blogs/25-years-doors-open-da
ys/> . The 2021 Edinburgh and East Lothian Doors Open Days weekend will be
held on the 25th and 26th September and we wondered if you would like to be
involved this year?
Last year, due to the public health emergency, the entire event was held
online for the first time ever. Given the continuing uncertainty over COVID
and public events, this year we hope to organise a hybrid offer to
attendees. Every venue wishing to participate will be asked to provide a
digital Doors Open Days resource of some kind and, if regulations allow,
some venues might additionally also open their doors, gardens or other
outdoors spaces to visitors if they are willing and able to safely do so in
September.
In 2020, signposted from our website, 79 Edinburgh and East Lothian venues,
organisations and groups opened their virtual doors to visitors from across
the city and beyond. If you were tempted to take part last year, but
couldn¹t quite think of what sort of digital resource you might produce you
can still view links to much of the wonderful material produced by local
venues on our Doors Open Days pages
<http://www.cockburnassociation.org.uk/doorsopendays/> .
If you are looking for further inspiration, tips or advice on producing
digital materials the Doors Open Days national organiser, the Scottish Civic
Trust, is organising a series of free online digital workshops
<https://www.doorsopendays.org.uk/news/free-digital-heritage-workshops/>
that you might find useful. Topic sessions will include photography, sound
recording, video editing, virtual tours, live digital broadcasting and much
more. 
As local organisers, we are hosting our own Zoom meeting at 2pm on Tuesday
25th May 2021 to discuss Edinburgh and East Lothian Doors Open Days.
We will have a quick look at last year¹s event and then open the floor for
attendees to discuss what sort of digital resources they might wish to
produce for this year and if they think they might also be in a position to
safely open part or all of their venue to visitors. We shall also outline
participation deadlines and attempt to answer any other DOD questions you
may have. 
If you would like to participate in this year¹s Doors Open Days please do
just drop me a line and let me know. Similarly, if you would like to attend
our Zoom meeting on the 25th May, simply respond to this email and I shall
send a meeting link closer to the day.
I look forward to hearing from you.
All the very best for now,
DJ
PS we set up a private Facebook group
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/586232715301657/>  last year for local
Doors Open Doors Organisers to have a forum for peer-to-peer networking,
sharing tips and asking advice. Do join at the link above if this would be
at all useful to you.
