[Radical_childcare] Help needed with Childcare

Sun Sep 6 12:02:12 BST 2009

If Monday the 21st is ok with everyone (not many responses)  I will get onto finding us a suitable venue (free of charge).  Shall we say a lunchtime meet of 1pm, to start getting back to our time and day rotation?

Also Gemma could you send me the email address you are talking about as i wasn't aware this existed and I will get onto Richard so we can keep updated should we wish at any point to be involved with this.  

Anna
