sounds like a good idea.
if it is national perhaps it could be in somewhere relatively central like manchester or birmingham?
if its just for london, ignore me and good luck :)

I agree, but...

New groups/networks/committees etc. are springing up all the time, but I don't necessarily agree that that's a good thing. I'm for building on existing relationships and trying to finish something, rather than constantly coming up with something new. But hey, that's only my opinion and I'm definately not against change, so I suppose a national gathering would be a good opportunity to discuss strategies and all the different networks etc. that already exist, and what people think of it all.

meetings in Chiapas organised by the Zapatistas
which also inspired the PGA network forming a
few years later. Don't assume that the conference
"Taking Aim" and the PGA support work happening
in this country or other countries are two different
things. The conference idea actual came out of a few
of us which were in Leiden for the 2nd European PGA
conference.
