Malcolm -
thanks for raising this on Tarboard, though it was somewhat of a shock to see my name in a title!
My main point was to start a debate on ideas both things to be done and how they could be achieved, rather than to publish a finished list. Nor need the debate be confined to TARS members! In a sense, I am simply asking everyone, if you had £25k to spend on commemorating and interpreting the works of Arthur Ransome, what do you think are important things to do. Could I add, that these needn't all be confined to the UK. Digital material for example could be universally available, translations into a new language etc etc.
I'd hope that good suggestions would be listened to by those holding the actual purse strings no matter who puts them forward. The important thing to me is that something is done at this very opportune moment - when there is money, and when interest is already increasing, and may do so exponentially if a new film is released.
