Hello Everybody
The West Midlands Group met on Friday and gave approval to hosting an event in March/April. There were some conditions attached to this approval, namely: that the event be financially viable; that a suitable venue be identified; that an appropriate "global" issue be identified (as well as a clearly defined product or outcome for the day); and that a suitable speaker(s) be identified and available.
The West Midlands Group will begin making enquiries regarding the practical issues of venue and cost.
Here are some enquiries for the list under the following headings.
Specific Theme for the Meeting
We ask that the list help us identify an issue to be addressed. The general theme of "war" has been suggested. If people could begin to consider a more specific community psychology element with regard to "war", and then share these thoughts on the list, that would be helpful to us.
Issue to be addressed in the Meeting
We would like to be able to have a clear idea of what the list wants to address in the meeting. That will help us to see which individuals or agencies might contribute to the actions of the day, so that we can ask them to come.
Planned outcome of the meeting
It will help to have an idea of what outcome or product people are looking for from the meeting. This will help us plan the process of the day, as well as make sure that we have involved any agencies who might be interested in such an outcome.
Please feel free to make suggestions
We have picked up from the discussion at the end of the Great Yarmouth Conference that there is a movement to take action and to have influence with others as well as amongst ourselves. If anybody on the list has experience/ideas about how to do that effectively and can contribute to the design/approach to the day, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
You can do this electronically, of course, or phone me on 0121 243 2036.
Cheers
Carl

Hello Everybody
The West Midlands Critical and Community Psychology Interest Group are due to meet on Friday. This will be our first opportunity to discuss the proposed meeting in six months time. We will be able to give a clearer picture from our point of view after that meeting.
We will be working from the same planned round of meetings that Annie summarised, ie
"1) a meeting arranged by Carl et al in 6 months around issues of war
(and possibly subsequently other ad hoc meetings elsewhere on other
topics)
2) a conference next year September/ October organised by Jacqui in York
with help from a few of us
3) possibly an east Midlands conference either one year or 18 months
after the York one"
The only departure from this summary is that I have "global issues" rather than "war" as the focus of the meeting in six months.
Please let me know if you think there are other matters to take into account in planning the meeting.
Cheers
Carl

Dear all,
The arrangements for the conference in York for 13-14 September 2007 seem to be on track. I have made a booking with our conference office, and the terms are very reasonable, with the costs likely to be similar to this year's (viz. about £80). There is also reasonably priced B&B accommodation available on campus at £27.50 for the 13th, and at that time York shouldn't be too crowded with tourists, so other accommodation will also be possible. Overall, it looks like the pragmatics will be relatively unproblematic. Thanks to those folk who've offered assistance - I'm sure we'll be able to go ahead, and will be in touch 'off list' in the next week or so.
I'm also supportive of the meetings as outlined by Annie below.
All the best,
Jacqui

That's what I think/ hope we are doing;
1) a meeting arranged by Carl et al in 6 months around issues of war
(and possibly subsequently other ad hoc meetings elsewhere on other
topics)
2) a conference next year September/ October organised by Jacqui in York
with help from a few of us

I'd like to check with everyone what the latest understanding is about
future conferences and meetings. As there haven't been any further
postings recently on the list, are we agreed on the following: the next
conference will be in York next September and Jacqui will facilitate
with support from others.
Would it be helpful to clarify whether or not there should be a one day
meeting between now and the conference. It was suggested that this could
be in Birmingham in Spring and Carl had offered to book a venue.
In keeping with our open, inviting at times rambling ways in the
network, I'm not sure how we now make a decision.
Bob
