LBS Consultation Questions

The minutes of the last meeting, held at Crammond Boat Club on the 26th November, are available in the right hand column, along with a range of links and information which we hope you will find useful. Please do share any other information or ideas for inclusion on this site with Ben Wilcox or Simon Strain

Please bear in mind for future meetings that your organisation doesn't need to be represented by a senior staff member or office bearer, as long as the representative you do send has the best interests of your organisation at heart. It is important to make sure that your organisation takes its place at this table so you can ensure the work done and the resources accessed are relevant to your organisation as well as the others.

The next meeting will take place on the 6th March, venue TBC. If there is anything that you would like to be raised please e-mail Neil Couch on neil.couch@gmail.com
