Hi Anaelle<br><br>Thanks for getting back, it would be great to see you at the next meeting so we can get going on this. I've forwarded this to the list if this is ok, so we can get more prep done going into the meeting. <br><br>Anna<br><br>x<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2009 23:43:36 +0000<br>From: anaelleb@yahoo.co.uk<br>Subject: Fw: climate camp - Radical Childcare<br>To: annmaridav@hotmail.com<br><br>

All your ideas sound great, all very much wanted & needed !! I especially like those that seek to increase children's participation. </div><div>On my part i can definitely confirm a kidspace marquee - still working on exact shape/size but it won't be smaller than 20 x 20 ft.</div><div>The budget for the rest is still not totally clear, but definitely very tight. </div><div><br></div><div>Like you, i'm not keen on the idea of a full-on creche for many reasons. I like the idea of mutual childcare through trust & self-organizing a lot better and i find your suggestion of a notice board to facilitate this along with other kids-related communications very interesting. </div><div>I've also been thinking that i would like to get
non-parents more involved this year, perhaps by getting them to lead children workshops or just to hang out in the kidspace for an hour or two. I'll work on this bit to try and get some commitments at the next gathering.</div><div>A little children/family action on the streets of london during the camp could also be an idea to explore...</div><div><br></div><div>To enable us to take this forward together, i could come along to your next meeting on sun 12th - in fact i'd love to do so as i've been wanting to since i saw the announcement for your first meeting on a blog, but timings & other commitments have prevented me from doing so.</div><div>Look forward to hearing back from you,</div><div>anaelle</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div style="font-family: tahoma,new york,times,serif; font-size: 10pt;"><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma">----- Forwarded Message

Hi Anaelle<br><br>The Radical Childcare group (as a very new collective) have now discussed what we feel we can, and would like to contribute to the 'kids' part of the camp. <br><br>Rather than providing the static 24hour creche at the camp, we would like to do one or two kids days.
