[Sfcupdate] Jan 24th: National meet-up and Delegates Meeting in Leeds!

[Students for Cooperation]

Hello student co-op'ers!

We would like to invite you all to the Students for Cooperation January 
2015*national meet-up and **Delegates Meeting* in *Leeds* University 
Union on *Saturday 24th January*: 
http://www.students.coop/january-2015-delegates-meeting/. /All are welcome!/

Students for Co-operation (www.students.coop <http://www.students.coop>) 
is a national federation of over 30 student co-operatives of all shapes 
and sizes from across the UK - from bike maintenance workshops, to 
volunteer-run veg-bag schemes, right up to a 106-bed housing co-op.

We are having a day to discuss ideas on how student cooperatives can 
better support one another logistically and financially, how we can help 
new co-ops get started, and to form national working groups to achieve 
these goals. This will be a fantastic opportunity to learn from one 
another, make useful contacts across our movement, and to help your 
co-operative prosper. The programme so far includes a Delegates Meeting, 
a facilitation training workshop, working group organising, structured 
group discussions and a social.

The *Delegates Meeting* is the sovereign decision making body of SfC. It 
is made up of two delegates from each member student co-op. So please 
ensure your co-op sends at least two people to ensure SfC is working for 
you! More details are available on the website 
<http://www.students.coop/january-2015-delegates-meeting/>.

There is free accommodation available. This will be allocated on a needs 
basis, inc. for accessibility needs, for delegates representing student 
co-ops, by distance to travel. If there is not sufficient accommodation, 
we may change the itinerary to allow more travelling time. We will also 
be running a subsidised travel pool to help minimise costs for those 
travelling from afar. Please approach your coop or students' union first 
for funding travel costs!

We look forwards to seeing you in Leeds! Please do not hesitate to 
contact us with any questions and add any ideas or general questions to 
the SfC Loomio:

Please do *forward this on* to others in your co-ops or anyone and 
everyone who you think may be interested!
