Hi Anna,
The web link takes me to a page where I can register my support for the campaign, but I can't see anything about the project workshops and signing up for information relating to these.
Can you help?
Thanks in advance
Tracy

Subject: Volunteer Project to Record Condition of War Memorials
Dear all,
You may like to know about a new project that has just got under way to mobilise a network of volunteers across England to carry out condition surveys of their local war memorials. The War Memorial Project is part of a wider First World War project funded by DCMS and is a partnership between English Heritage, the Imperial War Museum, the War Memorials Trust and Civic Voice.
My strand of the project is to work closely with the War Memorials Trust to encourage volunteers from civic societies, local history and archaeology groups, parish councils and anyone else who is interested to get involved, in carrying out condition surveys with a view, if necessary, to then apply for grants for conservation work. Volunteers will also receive training and be encouraged to apply to have their memorials listed, carry out more research and perhaps apply for HLF grants for public engagement projects.
Workshops have so far been organised in Birmingham (January 17th), Winchester (January 24th), Leeds (February 10th), Gateshead (March 4th), Liverpool (March 26th) and Harrow (March 28th). Anyone who would like to attend one of these workshops or others being organised for later in 2015 should register their interest in the project by visiting:
http://www.civicvoice.org.uk/campaigns/war-memorials-/
They will then be contacted directly about workshops taking place in their area. I would be grateful if you could forward this email to any local groups in your area that you think may be interested in taking part.
Thank you in anticipation of your help and if you have any queries about the project please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
Anna
