>> >> Hi Everyone,
>> >>
>> >> Hope everyone is beginning to recover from the Camp!  I'm really

>> >> with how it went, with only a few small niggles which would be good
>> to
>> >> discuss at our next meeting with a de-brief of how everybody felt the
>> >> camp
>> >> kidspace went.  Does anyone want to suggest a good date and time that
>> it
>> >> would be good for everyone meet?  I am very flexible, so i'll leave
>> it
>> >> open to suggestions.  We need to be thinking about finding a regular
>> >> indoor meeting space I think, as the weather is definitely turning!

>> >> Secondly,  I've been asked to provide some childcare at the LCAP
>> (London
>> >> Coaltion Against Poverty) Annual General Meeting on 12th September
>> >> between
>> >> 12-4pm.  I have said I will do it, does anyone fancy joining me? or
>> know
>> >> of anyone who would want to help, even for some of it if you cant
>> make
>> >> it
>> >> all.  I was going to grab some of the Climate Camp Tat which should
>> now
>> >> be
>> >> back at LARC if that is ok with everyone?
>> >>
>> >> Lastly,  I was approached at the camp by a guy called Richard Howlet
>> who
>> >> is involved in organising the Great Climate Swoop happening on the
>> 18th
>> >> October.  He has just emailed me, and it is as follows;
>> >>
>> >> Hi Anna,
>> >> We spoke about kids at the Great Climate Swoop whilst at the camp
>> over
>> >> the
>> >> last few days. Hope you remember me.
>> >> I
>> >> just thought i'd drop you an email to see if you'd be up for joining
>> >> the Great Climate Swoop e-list. What do you think? It would be great
>> to
>> >> have someone who is really aware of the needs of parents and children
>> >> within the group.
>> >> There is also an organising
>> >> meeting in Nottingham at the Sumac centre on Sat 12th Sept. Creche
>> >> facilities are planned as another parent - Emily James - will be
>> >> coming. Would you or another person from kidspace be able to make it?
>> >> Just
>> >> so you know there was a fair bit of talk about the need for a legal
>> >> march and the possibility of some kind of fixed site at the working
>> >> group rep meeting yesterday.
>> >> Cheers!
>> >> Richard
>> >>
>> >>
>> >> When I spoke to richard at the camp I said i would feed into the
>> group
>> >> and
>> >> see what everyones thoughts were.  However I did express my own
>> personal
>> >> concerns to him at the time.  These were 1.  As a group we are aware
>> and
>> >> concerned that a 'Kids block' leading a march is something which has
>> had
>> >> many problems in the past and carries many media based connotations.
>> >> and
>> >> 2.  The target of the swoop is in Nottingham and is probably going to
>> >> span
>> >> 2 days, so some fixed infrastructure would be quite important for a
>> kids
>> >> prescence.
>> >>
>> >> Anyways, firstly he is asking if i want to be added to the organising
>> >> mailing list as a 'voice for kids and parents'.  I am happy to do
>> this,
>> >> however I would feel more comfortable if we put the group address
>> >> forward
>> >> (Gemma, you mentioned we have one right?) and also I am not a parent.
>> >>
>> >> Secondly he has invited (us) to the organising meeting in Nottingham
>> on
>> >> the 12th September.  As I've said above i've already committed to the
>> >> LCAP
>> >> childcare, but would anyone else fancy going?
>> >>
>> >> I think that's it for now, sorry for such a looooong email,
>> >>
>> >> See you all soon
