Hi

The Co-operatives Yorkshire and Humberside Futures North event:

  Saturday 23rd June 2012 
  Sheffield Hallam University
  http://futures-north.coop/

Will feature a workshop on what we can do with sheffield.coop and what
other cities could do with a .coop domain for their city:

  A .coop for your City delivered by Web Architects
  This workshop will explain the new sheffield.coop website and how other
  cities could develop web sites to promote co-operatives in their
  locality.

Hopefully we will have a first version of a sheffield.coop web site up
by then - if anyone has any suggestions or thoughts about this please
email this list.

All the best

Chris

*Clean Energy Revolution*

The Co-operative Group is calling for a clean energy revolution. The UK can  
no longer afford to rely on increasingly expensive, and environmentally  
damaging, dirty fossil fuels. Instead we need to accelerate the development  
of a clean energy future. By harnessing our vast natural resources of wind,  
water and solar power, the UK will be greener and our energy future more  
secure.
