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.

Note that the date of the Workers Co-op Weekend 2020 has changed to 15th-17th May 2020. Also see the attached flip charts that were discussed at the CoTech Gathering in Newcastle in December 2019, where we agreed to proceed with at parallel CoTech gathering at the Workers Co-op Weekend and to see if we can have an extra day at the start.
Run a CoTech gathering in parallel with the Workers Co-op Weekend at Thornbridge 8-10th May 2020.

This sounds like a good idea to us.

I've failed to ever make it to either so this would be a great way to potentially make it along to both! (especially if family friendly as I've seen proposed elsewhere)

Personally it always feels like there's never enough time to cover everything at our Co-tech gatherings as it is. If we were to add in the Worker Co-op Weekend are we going to make it even harder for ourselves?
I think if this was to work, we'd need to be having more regular Co-tech catch-ups. Which, if that is the case, I'm 100% behind both!

Autonomic is in favour of this proposal as long as Workers Co-op Weekend are up for it.

Agile Collective is up for this, although conscious that it will need more organisation to make the most out of it. Also would prefer a date change so it's not on a bank holiday weekend.
