[SSC] Stuff.

[Joss Winn]

I like this. I don't think it's necessary to say 'the centre is managed on democratic, non-hierarchical principles with all students'. I'd drop 'non-hirearchical' for the Press Release and make it 'the centre is managed on democratic principles with all students...' for simplicity and clarity. We can talk about the non-hirearchical nature of the SSC at the Open Day.

I think The Collection is an excellent venue. The Angle coffee house is too small, if we're hoping to attract 20+ students, although I wasn't at the last meeting when this was discussed, so you probably have good reason for proposing it.

Thanks for moving this forward, David.

Run as a 'not-for-profit' co-operative, the centre is managed on democratic, non-hierarchical principles with all students and staff having an equal involvement in how the venture operates All SSC courses are taught and assessed at the same level as similar courses in mainstream universities in the UK and are taught by experienced academics, including professors and lecturers with national and international reputations.

A social will be held in the evening (starting 8 pm) at the Angel Coffee Café, Free School Lane, Lincoln LN2 1. For more information contact:
