Hi all
The Worker co-op Council brought our plans for a new Worker Co-ops Federation to the worker co-op weekend and got full buy-in from those present, as well as starting to make plans for how to get the thing off the ground in a participative way.
I think this needs complementing with an online session for people who weren't there to be brought up to speed and be able to get involved.
If there are 3 or 4 people who want that session to happen, I'll set a date - it can be out of hours next week or working hours/out of hours w/b 16th, so do express a preference for how soon you'd like it. Maybe we should run it twice...
If this is something you feel strongly about, please also use that motivation to get your fellow co-operators to come along and to sign up to this Loomio group
Sessions
Monday 25th July - 11-12 - with me & Caleb of Principle 6 and John Atherton (project coordinator)
Tue 26th - 3-4 - with me & Debbie from Unicorn Grocery
Wed 27th - 6-7 - with me & Matt from Bartleby's Brewery
Fri 29th - 1-2 - with me & someone else tbc
They will all take place on meet.coop - if you haven't used it before, it's probably wise to turn up a little bit early to get your audio set up. It is a bit easier to use on a computer than on a phone. I'll be there 10 minutes early to help.

We'll be referencing both this guide/handbook: https://office.workers.coop/s/LybkjyBdop9eC8x and the Heads of Terms between CUK and the Worker Co-op Council.
If you can RSVP beforehand by email to [email protected] that will be very helpful.
Please note also that we're moving discussion of this project away from Loomio and over to the new federation's new forum: forum.workers.coop

Sounds good Cath - I'd be keen to attend as I missed the WCW. Thanks.

You need to click on 'sign in' for the editable version to appear so you can enter your availability. I've heard it's easier to use on a computer than on a phone.
Let's assume we'll get at least one, but possibly two opportunities for an online presentation/q&a out of this

@Cath M in Leeds (Cornerstone Housing/Radical Routes/Platform6) Have dates for these sessions been arranged?

Not yet, there is a worker co-op council meeting on Friday. There is going to be a live session at Congress, so we just need to co-ordinate with that so we are joined up on what we are saying and doing.
