<p class="ecxwestern" style="">On Friday we will take
forward the ideas that came out of last year's conference to continue
discussions about what we want SfC to be and how it is going to work.
It's time to sort the basics so let's pool our ideas and start
getting proposals together for the next General Meeting; we're
talking governance, communication, staff, events, etc. <span style="background-color:white;"><span dir="ltr">In the afternoon everyone is invited to
the launch party for the Birmingham Student Housing Co-operative

<p class="ecxwestern" style="">On Saturday it's Co-ops
Congress where co-operators from across the country get together to
set the agenda for the co-operative movement. We have ten <i><b>free</b></i>
places to attend this year's Congress so let's get our voices heard.
