>I love the title and maritime theme - looks great. 2 or 3 days fine with me
- I understand your
colleagues' concerns re the third day =but I feel that not everyone can do
everything and if some
people are willing/ want to stay on that should be a possibililty, as well as
having action points
integrated throughout. otherwise as we have said it can be hard to carry
things forward. maybe you
could advertise it as a two day event with open space availability for anyone
who wants it built in
throughout and also available on the following day? Some people at the
newcastle conference did say
they'd value that . having said all that I'm totally happy to go simply with 2
days if that's the consensus
of the organisers.
I just slightly wonder about calling it a call for papers - if we want people
to be actively involved who
aren't in the professional world I wonder whether a phrase like invitation to
contribute, or some other
more user friendly less scary/ grand sounding phrase might be a bit less
daunting?=Though you do
make it more accessible than that with the wording.
I'm going to be away between jobs April/ May so sorry cannot help with
reviewing.

>keep coming up with more and more that needs to get sorted out!
>
>We're at a point where we'd like some more feedback from the list,

>change - eg: the dates if we confirm that it's for 2 instead of 3 days
>(then it would probably be Thurs/Fri 21-22 Sept). We're also still
>confirming admin support, so the contact person still needs to be
>confirmed, and therefore we'd ask you not to circulate this draft beyond
>the main list, or contact Jodie directly just yet. The deadline for
>proposals may also have to change, but hopefully not by too much, as we
>want to give people as much time as possible to develop their ideas.
>
>On dates - we've tried to balance needs of different groups and the
>various competing events. The organising group (although not my personal
>preference) is suggesting a 2 day rather than 3 day event, and to build
>in the action into the 2 days. We were thinking of having it as a
>shorter, dedicated session at the end of each day, to capitalise on the
>ideas and momentum generated during the day. I know there have been
>mixed views on the number of days, but most of the organising group were
>convinced that a 3 day event would be more difficult for busy people to
>prioritise. So please do let me know if there are any strong objections
>to a 2 rather than 3 day event with action built in.
>
>At this point we are also looking for volunteers to review submissions
>with a fairly short turn around in May/June. Please get in touch with me
>if you would be prepared to help us out with this!
>
>Please do let us know your thoughts on the flyer/content/dates etc.
