All welcome!

Do we want Tony to attend?

Had a thought - responses welcome - I know that the Inclusive Communication guys also have a network that they are struggling to keep going for pretty much the same reasons we are.
My idea is to see if they want to join with us - we could head it 'EXOTIC COMMUNICATION'.
I haven't spoken to anyone there as yet, thought I'd see what the response was from this end first.

As David would say - answers on a postcard please.....................

Are we wanting to see if Tony can attend? We'll need to ask him soon if we are to have a hope!!

David passed out some copies of the flyers he had printed to publicise what we are doing. Tina said she would contact alumni of the PFPT training is Sara could give her the email addresses.

Discussion was held around perhaps merging with the Inclusive Comms group - Challenging Behaviour = Exotic Communication after all. Helen to contact Sarah Sherratt

Next two meetings (June & July) Tony will be coming to give us the day. Three line whip to attend and an opportunity to get new faces (esp support workers) on board and part of it.

Tay told us about Us in a Bus (http://www.usinabus.org.uk/) an organisation that works with people who are hard to reach in an Intensive Interaction style. More power to their elbow!

There was quite a lot more - I just can't write and eat biscuits at the same time and my memory isn't what it was so this is just the bare bones.

I would just like to say Thank You to David for having spent the time to do such fabulous, funny and inspiring postcards/posters - they really are great.
It will be ace if lots of people attend for the next two months - those who don't attend are missing a valuable opportunity - the support is needed by all of us practising this - it ain't easy and it's lonely out there - believe me I know!!
So, thanks again David, and thanks for my own personal version (and Tony for suggesting it's content!!)

It would appear that the calendars on a large number of forums have moved events back a day (check the calendar link at the top of the page).

This is *NOT* me cocking it up (again) but some vagary of the software instead.

New calendar events (like next months meet) should be unaffected.
