Like everyone else, we had to suspend our activities during the pandemic. We have now resumed meetings at our new venue in Creekmoor. Our meetings can take a variety of formats, including:
Roundtables: Format is to have a speaker to explain a topic or issue. We then discuss it in relation to our local community, plus maybe a ‘hot’ news topic. This usually generates comments that we can use for our projects, for publicity, or to show us what we need to do next.
19.30 – 19.45 Guest introductions and scene setting
19.45 – 20.15 Speaker slot
20.15 – 21.15 *Roundtable debate
21.15 – 21.30 Close
*The opinion/findings from the debate will be written up and distributed via email after the event.
Club development: This is where we bring forth activities and opportunities which we as a club can develop. These could include, for example, a training session regarding how to use twitter to a talk about recruitment and retention. We follow the speaker/training session with debate or workshop activities.

20.45 – 21.00 Review of what we’ve learned and suggestions

SI business: We mix fun and frivolity with the serious business of our campaign area updates. This is a review of where we are with our projects and where we want to take them. We voice our objectives for the next few months and any concerns, asking for help if needed. The speaker on these nights is a purely fun/interest only speaker.
