Leadership of OurField

We need 4 people from the collective to step forward to be part of the core leadership team, driving the direction for OurFieldWeston for the next year. Basic things like deciding dates of events and assigning someone to organise. Working with Graham to inform people when important discussions/decisions are coming up and working with John to ensure he is happy with the OurField setup. As well as looking at the accounts from Grahame and discussing on behalf of the collective.
Initially it will be selected by those who are keen, and then if we have too many we will pick from a hat. But in future years this could be voted for.
DEADLINE: PLEASE PUT YOURSELF FORWARD FOR THIS BY TUESDAY JULY 10th 10PM.

Hi @rosybenson that's great, good work and big thanks to you and to Ben. Problem for me is I can't do any of the dates you propose. Sorry. I really, really want to meet up with the group and to do so soon but I have all remaining July and August weekends booked. Could we look at early September.....?
If not and a lot of people find it better to do the next meeting before September then maybe we can have a second meeting in the autumn. And if so then perhaps we can start to look at dates fairly soon.

I'd also be keen for a gathering to catch up with the collective - but also can't make the dates in August unfortunately. I like @stevenjacobs idea of trying to arrange an autumn gathering soon, so that we can have a date for that far enough in advance for the most people to come along

Rosy this is amazing - great work :) Sadly I too can't make either of those weekends :(... let's see what the leadership team come up with in terms of dates!

Hey @harrygreenfield1 @abbyrose @stevenjacobs no problem I shall cancel the doodle and await for the leadership group to contact me so we can get some dates in the diary to use e5, hopefully a few spread throughout the year so everyone has chance to book it in well in advance.

Dear Rosy
Many thanks for standing by with Doodle. We shall get back

Dear Rosy,
Assuming that we could use E5 as a venue could you list the weekends that could be available.
One is beginning to sense that we shall have to use skype which does not work for many people living in areas with weak signals.
Best TonyA

Hi John, before I list loads of dates, which month are we thinking? Then I shall check the calendar. Thanks

Dear Rosy
I judge we should meet or skype as soon as possible.
Any date from 20 July until the end of August should be in the frame.
We are encountering some revelations. For example my assumption that the weekend liaison would be easier than during the working week is not valid.
Many thanks for trying to find a date.
Best

Dear Rosy
Just confirming that I am on my way to E5 for 2.00 pm.
I trust it is still convenient.
Best. TonyA

Morning all, I'd be happy to host you all at the bakery one weekend evening (I thought this easiest for non londoners to get to) this August, thinking from 7pm when the mill house is closed to the public. I had a meeting with Ben yesterday to ask if I could use the space and he's kindly offered it free of charge to support the group. Here is a doodle to see which date suits the most amount of people. https://doodle.com/poll/rbb8stfcyhdb4ntk Also sorry to not put myself up for a leadership role, theres the possibility I might be away for large portions of next year on baking/grain travels, so best to have some one who's around. But very keen to help where possible in the meantime.
