The CoTech circle call on 29th May 2019 (which wasn't quorate) agreed to support a formal proposal to be made on Loomio that we support the suggestion that the 2020 Workers Co-op Weekend in Thornbridge (which has capacity for 100+ people) be a joint CoTech / Co-operatives UK event, with CoTech organising it's own parallel sessions.
See also the discourse thread.

Congratulations @harryrobbins on the new lease, that is great news :-)
On the last call we discussed having a Autumn CoTech gathering in Newcastle and hopefully that will happen.
In terms of what next, do we need to first decide, as CoTech, if we are interested in an additional day at Thornbridge at the beginning?
I think having an extra day would be good if we have enough people prepared to help organise and who are prepared to come, so perhaps another poll for this...

CoTech / Workers Co-op Weekend Options Closed Tue 16 Jul 2019 7:02AM
Two people are willing to help organise this and 5 out of 6 people who intend to attend would like an additional CoTech day at the start.
Some questions to gauge the level of support for an additional CoTech day at the start of the weekend and how many people are prepared to help organise things.

I think someone from AC will be up for helping organise, if not me personally. I would suggest arrival on Thursday evening so that the Friday could be CoTech only might work? I don't think we could afford a whole extra day plus the weekend.

I'll be sorting the catering for the worker co-op weekend. I'm assuming that it'll be covering both events too, but will need confirming with John Atherton.

Yes, that is what I intended to express in the poll! Sorry it wasn't clear.

This poll is closing tomorrow, it would be great is some other people would chime in!
I suggest that all the people who have indicated that they would be willing to help organise this have a quick conference call after the poll has closes to discuss what to do next (at the moment it looks like this might just be me and @aaronhirtenstein ).

Sorry voted none of the above whilst trying to figure out how dot vote works - please ignore

No worries, it probably wasn't the right type of poll in the first place, really fantastic to hear that you would be on for catering for an additional day, I was going to suggest us all going to a chippy in Bakewell, but this would be a load better! The food you did this year was really great :-)

Sorry we also failed to vote (I was supposed to). We're in favour of a CoTech presence/strand at Worker Co-op weekend but are keen to still have one or more explicitly CoTech meetups.
We're likely to host at least one in Space4 which has, very excitingly, just secured a 10 year lease on a new building. Perhaps now there's twice as much it should be Space8.
