An update on the current situation of Bristol NW Network was given. Wendy was able to notify people at
the last of the Coordinators meetings (East & Central) of a difficult decision which has been taken, not to
produce a calendar for 2018 as distribution and sales could not be guaranteed this year.
A list of roles within The Network was handed out, with a request for Coordinators to consider if they could
take up one of the tasks. The position of Chair of The Network is critical to its survival when Wendy, the
current Chair, steps down from that role in September.
So far, no volunteers have come forward to take on any of the roles, which is disappointing as each role
takes up so little time. The production, distribution and sale of the calendar being the exception, a far more
time consuming task over several months, hence the difficult decision not to produce a calendar this year.
Bristol NW Network are organising FREE First aid courses for scheme
Coordinators, Deputies or scheme officials. Each course will last around 2 hours,
and according to numbers will probably be held in 3 locations: the Vassall Centre,
the Withywood Centre and the Greenway Centre. Dates and venues cannot
be finally agreed until we have some idea of numbers wishing to attend.
Those attending the Coordinators meetings were able to register their interest in attending the courses and
I would like to open registration on these courses to those people who were unable to attend also.
If you, and / or one of your scheme would like to have the opportunity to attend a course, please email:
bristolnhwnetwork@gmail.com leaving the name/s of those wishing to attend, scheme name, preferred
contact details and preferred location (you will be able to select a different location or
date should you need / prefer to.)
