Dear Colleague

Please find your invitation and booking form for the NCMA North East Annual Regional and Policy Forum Meeting here. The event has been organised by local registered childminders just like you and is your chance to put your point across, make suggestions or generally talk about things which concern you. What an opportunity! Here’s a chance to meet with colleagues from across our region, to chat andsocialiseplus share ideas and experiences with one another.

The Forum discussion topic around the subject of NCMA Groups and Associations will no doubt be lively and give ample opportunity for us all to share our thoughts on the subject – do we need them, what are the benefits – are there any benefits? Well this is your chance to share your point of view. Issues raised during the Forum Discussion will be taken forward to NCMA’s board via the regions National Policy Forum Representatives, making the Regional forum the ideal place to get your voice heard.

There will be an opportunity to vote in new committee members and officers (Treasurer, Secretary and Chair) and a new NPF member. If you are interested in joining the committee please complete the nomination form attached to the invitation. Should you like more information regarding any of the roles please feel free to contact the present NE Secretary, Sylvia Marshall.

The afternoon workshops are Religious Festivals and Safety on the Internet.

If you have not attended a regional event before we really do hope that you will consider coming along this time. As well as all the above there will be stall, selling a wide range of early years resources.

We are sure you will not be disappointed and we guarantee you a very warm welcome.

Not going as i'm not renewing my membership to the NCMA until i come back of maternity. Can't justify paying £60 now when not back working until July and that's if i have any mindees lined up. Think there's a few from my area going though.
