Hi Michael,
are you suggesting that the CP Section membership fee should vary according to the way the income inequality which characterises our society is reproduced amongst would-be Section members so that no potential member of the CP Section would be excluded from membership by poverty? If so, should the membership fee for an unwaged member of the CP Section be zero?
David

It depends on who it is for and how multidisciplinary you want to make it. Nurses probably do better with a lower fee. Psychiatrists can pay more (if anyone other than me would be interested).

Dear All,
one of the issues mentioned by Wendy below (agreeing fees) is already urgent as far as the Society is concerned
The Advisor regarding Member Network Services at the BPS emailed recently with the subject line "Urgent - the need to set a fee for the Section" writing "We have to prepare a paper for the Board of Trustees for approval of the Section fee – currently the average fee for a Section is around £15 – are you happy to set membership at this rate for full Society members and £10 for students? Please let us know asap as once the Board approve, this will need to be ratified at the Inaugural meeting. For now though we have to get a decision from the Board asap."
This requires some urgent list discussion I believe?
David

Subject: British Psychological Society Section
Hello all,
Here’s an email on behalf of the small group of us who met at the Plymouth Conference on 1.7.10 to discuss the approval from the British Psychological Society (BPS) to form a Community Psychology section. I agreed to send some information from the meeting to the list once we had a date for a meeting agreed with the BPS. This email is based on Lisa Thorne’s notes from the meeting at Plymouth, so this is from the group, not from me personally. I’ll add my own thoughts to the discussion later.
There are some requirements from the BPS in relation to setting up the section, and it appears that they are also prepared to offer some support.
The requirements are:
• An inaugural meeting to begin the process
• At the first AGM (within 1 year of inaugural meeting) we will need to vote in a committee which includes the traditional roles of Chair, Treasurer and Secretary, in addition to a number of ordinary members.
• We need an interim committee to get things going before the first AGM
• Set up membership arrangements and agree fees
• Organise the initial AGM within the first year, at which time the actual committee will be voted in
• We need a constitution (there is already a draft) and terms of reference
Some potential benefits and support from the BPS are:
• The section would have a seat on the BPS Research Board
• Support from the BPS Network Manager for developing a newsletter
• Can offer training on committee roles
The small group at the Plymouth meeting suggested that we could arrange the AGM to coincide with the European Community Psychology Association conference in York in Sept 2011.
In order to get organised, the group who met in Plymouth propose having an inaugural meeting of a whole day to discuss some of the many potential issues, and to propose an interim committee to start working toward setting up the section and planning the AGM. We suggested at Plymouth that we’ll need to have a think about the relationship between the section and the list. Sally Zlotowitz and Jacqui Akhurst have kindly offered to liaise with the BPS regarding room booking, and organising promotion of the day. We will be meeting in the BPS offices in London for the whole day on 8 October 2010.
This gives us a couple of months to get ourselves organised for the inaugural meeting. Those of us who were involved in initial discussions thought it would be a good idea to use the list to develop the plans for the day. I think there are some preliminary suggestions regarding an agenda for the day, including what the BPS require of our initial meeting. The Plymouth meeting hoped that people from the list would offer help to plan the day. Please respond on the list if you would like to be involved.
Best wishes,
Wendy
