Midlands Thing on the Horizon
Posted under: 
The great DF roadshow of democracy, discussion and decision comes to Midlands.
Yes indeed! Many of you will have tickets and places already, though if you dont and still fancy coming rock over to this page.
There will be a Midlands Thing Pack coming out very soon, but before we do that we’d like to get as much collective ideas for the agenda as possible.
The theme for the event is Social Gatherings, as chosen by our hosts in the Mindlands who want to focus on why many districts in the Midlands don’t meet up regularly and how we can change this, while partaking in some nice social gathering ourselves, NEAT. Obviously this also means lots of SOCIALISING too, and as always with DF Things, there will be a brilliant mix of important, movement changing, discourse and JOLLY GOOD FUN.
Just as a taster- Midlands have planned some ace stuff – a Pub quiz with out the pub, an Oldschool Sleepover and a Niceness competition!
Your faithful hardworking Committee and Regional Council have been putting together a few bits and bobs that they feel need discussion, many following on from Althing and Old / New, some more recent following feedback from local groups and Action Collectives.
We’ve been collating this using Radical Open Source Networking site CRABGRASS, which you should all check out.
Here’s the first few nuggets we’ve put together for an agenda, do peruse.
Financial update, Huge Ideas Pot update, Costs of things, Regenerating Communications, Re-shuzzzing Projects, Event coordinators / equipment / growth, Winter Wonderlands, DF delegation to CoCamp, Lots of Midlands stuff, Blank Canvas update, “The Affiliations Wall”, Lockerbrook ctte, Midlands Ctte, Posse/cooperatives, Grey area, Cuts protest stuff, DF Buddy system, Ctte get together, Google groups, widening decision making and online communication, Campaigns launch / discussion about how to pitch voting reform, Making STW more accessible, Althing elections re-structure, New DF groups, Regional Span That Worlds.You can throw anything else you fancy into the mix using this neat tool:
Or go into more depth using our DF Discuss Group.
And for those who missed it, here’s the incredible video that Midlands made.
In the words of the Pointer Sisters, I’m so Excited and I just can’t hide it, I’m about to lose control AND I think I like it.
