Thank you to everyone who has registered and said what you want to cover at

2. Conversation to finalise topics for small group discussions
3. Small group discussions. So far these include:

   - Links with anti-cuts campaigns
   - Fighting commissioning: experiences and methods
   - Resourcing independent action: lessons from current experience and
   activities
   - The role of second tier organisations

4. Break
5. Feed back key messages from small group discussions
6. Next steps - for people to take away and for NCIA to follow up

 There are still some places left so just let us know if you want to come
along -  have a look at the attached booking form and tell what you'd like

Please forward this invite to people or groups who you think might be
interested in coming along.

*Hot off the press!*
Read NCIA's two new papers about privatisation and 'big society'. You can
download them from our website here:
www.independentaction.net/2011/05/06/8514<http://t.ymlp150.net/ueubavahqsakamuyagauuqb/click.php>
They're short, to the point and were written to help NCIA activists analyse
the evidence. Let us know what you think.


If you can't make the meeting but want to keep in touch with NCIA, please
sign up to our mailing list here:

National Coalition for Independent Action (NCIA) is an alliance of
individuals and organisations who believe that now, more than ever, we need
to unite in independent voluntary and community action.
 Hope to see you on 12 May.

Rachael and Melaina (NCIA co-ordinators)
