[meersbrook-house] meersbrook park users trust

[liz martinez]

Hi all
its great to see so much enthusiasm for the meersbrook house 
I am chair of the trust and as part of that, I may have a role in the group in terms of adding some skills
things I see that I could offer would be:

Experience of fundraising - we've been fund raising for a variety of projects in the park (mostly play related) and walled garden since 2003

Experience of working with the council both wrt delivering projects and activities in the park.  We meet with council workers to discuss future for park/walled gardens etc.  We also work with the councillors and police when necessary.

Experience of working and contacts within other stake holders in the park inc. bowling, bishops house, heeley development trust, heeley city farm, wed outdoor playgroup , afterschool club, play group, and the two local primary schools.

The trust has an open meeting once every two months where we discuss park business/ongoing projects/activity days etc.

If any of these skills are of use then I'd be glad to offer them!
I probably don't have the time to commit to a reg committee due to other projects we ongoing for the trust. 

I'm happy to make the meeting on the 9th July as I understand Kaktus is away

thanks
liz

 Subject: [meersbrook-house] Agenda for working group meeting 2nd July

 Hi all,  I can see there has been
 plenty of lively discussion going on whilst I have been on
 holiday! For what it’s worth, I think we are getting a
 little ahead of ourselves worrying about the detail of
 subgroups, committees etc. We have got a way to go before we
 are a formally constituted group, so in the interim I think
 it is important that people are able to contribute where and
 how they wish – any smaller group should have no
 decision making power at this point in time, they should be
 there to simply accelerate the process of getting a proposal
 together for the wider group to discuss and agree.   I would suggest that the next
 step *following* the public meeting, should be to
 move quickly towards constituting the group and agreeing
 governance and working groups. However, until the public
 meeting is held, we cannot be sure that we have all of the
 right people (or as many as possible) participating in the
 process, so I think it is important for us to remain as
 relaxed as we can in the meantime.  So, my proposed agenda for
 the working group meeting on Weds is as follows:
 
  Public Meeting
 Working Group, Weds 2nd July, 7:30-9pm in the
 White Lion
  1.      
 Welcome and introductions – find out who
 is in the room and the skills and experience they
 bring.2.      
 Agree the purpose for this working group
 meeting (e.g. put together a proposal for the content of the
 public meeting to be held in September)3.      
 What should the outputs of the
 public meeting be? (What information do we want to gather /
 what decisions need to be made there?)4.      
 How do we want people to
  feel as a result of attending and
 participating in the public meeting?5.      
 What activities should take
 place in order to achieve 3 and 4?6.      
 Agree how to present and feed this back to the
 wider steering group.
  I think the
 working group (which may be the same people or some may opt
 in or opt out according to their skills and interests) will
 need to meet again a couple of times during the run up to
 the public meeting to discuss the practicalities, such as
 hosting, timings, facilitation (in one large group and in
 smaller groups), materials etc.  Does this sound about right
 to everyone? If anyone is unable to attend Wednesday’s
 meeting but has ideas they would like to put forward then
 please do send me an email (laura at b4wd.org.uk)
 and I will make sure your suggestions are discussed.  Cheers,Laura.
