Dear all An extremely warm welcome back to work to everyone! By sending this BEFORE Christmas I hope this to be the first email you delete in this bright new year! However, before you hit that quick delete button, can I take the opportunity presented by this time of renewal and resolution to urge members of this forum to take some time to sign up to the SDF Wiki, as we were urged and encouraged so to do at the Annual Conference in November. This could be of real benefit if we are to see any further ideas and conversations coming out of the Open Space discussions, as these seemed at the time to be of value to many of us. I know a couple of initial posts have been made there. http://www.staffdevelopment.ac.uk/members/profilesdiscussion/ Password is staffdev Once you are in to the discussions homepage, you will need to follow the link on the right hand side of the page called Online Discussion Group, and then the link to the SDF Conference 2007 Brighton Eclectica. Your Open Space topic forum is then revealed - with not much traffic so far, it seems! (If you have any problems please contact Mohamed Kassam: [log in to unmask] and again our thanks to him for his hard work) All the best Stuart Stuart Hunt 35 Borrowdale Road Lancaster LA1 3EU (Office) 01524 388 492 (Mobile) 0793 907 1706 [log in to unmask] No virus found in this outgoing message.
