[Lorna45]

What are these community events about? obviously not the same as the Regional Forums?
I have read the announcement but it does not specify

Looking at that announcement makes me think it is something to do with NCMA Local which does fit as we (Welsh members) have not been invited. I have noticed though that some regional forums are being held at the same?????

Does anyone know which hilton in Leeds it's at?

The North East one is at Durham County Hall on the 11th of May at 9.30. Not sure if it is full yet.

I am embarrassed to admit that as volunteer I should know and I asked the question!!!...my mind on other things I'm afraid!!!
I believe the community events have been out on and were supposed to run at the same time as the regional forums ...so we were asked to combine into one if we wanted...anyone correct me if wrong...I think they maybe mini conferences???

In London they are on the 20th April at the Plaza Hotel...only 100 spaces available for well over 6,000+ cms...so many many disappointed ones now on the reserve list...the aim is the launch of PACEY !!!

Thank you for your help xx

Well I have been told Granary Wharf - post codes are very similar tho - checking out with pacey if there are two close together or if they are in fact the same one with two different entrances

Have you noticed that it is only the London and one other event which has more great childcare on the agenda.

[Simona]

Yes London and Buckinghamshire have but not Leeds and Birmingham...wonder why...are those two immune from Truss' reforms??

I wonder if the NPF reps know the reason..puzzling

[manjay]

The reason is that there are two separate events here. There are the four 'Community events' in Leeds, London, Birmingham and Bucks and then there are the usual regional forums which take place in each of the 10 regions across England and Wales three times a year. MGC is being discussed/debated on the regional forum agenda which as already mentioned is being combined with the community events in two areas. The two events that are including regional forums finish much later than the other two.

That is the reason that MGC is not listed on the agenda of all events.

Thank you manjay...that explains it very well and sounds like everyone will have the option to put their questions whatever meeting they attend
