Hey all,<br>
<br>
Thanks for coming and making Monday's planning event happen! <br><br>
We decided to focus a series of events on the 24th-26th November. The
full list of these events, along with contact details for the
'ball-roller', is at the end of this email. If you want to help
organise any of the events, drop them an email.<br>
<br>
Before the next meeting, each 'activity group' should start thinking
and planning for their event. Work towards writing a short paragraph
that can explain to the rest of the free-school (that's all of us!)
what your event is - imagine you are trying to persuade other people to
attend. Start thinking about where and when you are going to hold the
event, who it is aimed at, potential 'legal' implications, and any
potential problems that you need the rest of the group to help with. <br>
<br>
This infomation needs to be brought to the next meeting on
Monday 8th November, from 6-8pm. We have yet to get a room but we will
send that out as soon as we have. It's really important at least one
member from each group comes. If no one from your activity group can make it pease drop an email to <a href="mailto:info@reallyopenuniversity.org" target="_blank">info@reallyopenuniversity.org</a> with the infomation you woul be bringing to the meeting.<br>
<br>
The primary aim of the meeting is start sorting the logistics for what is shaping up to be a wicked 3 days.
<div class="im"><br>
If you weren't able to be at the event, then don't worry! Our work in
transforming the university has only just begun - drop an email to one
of the 'ball rollers' if you want to get involved with planning one of
the events. If you think you've got an event you would like to host,
then start planning it now! Bring along a paragraph explaining it to
the next meeting, and tell the rest of the free-school about it.<br>
<br></div>
We also need to think about publisity and funding for publicity. If you
have any graphic skills or want to help out with publisity/money contact
<a href="mailto:info@reallyopenuniversity.org" target="_blank">info@reallyopenuniversity.org</a>
<div class="im"><br>
As always, make sure you get your friends, students, lecturers and
co-workers involved with the planning.<br><br></div>
With a bit of effort this is going to be big!<br><br> <br>
