      Hi Dave – I reckon it’s after the Bank Holiday already – do you mean after the BigRoyalWeddingCamp shindig?

          I think of the 29th as more like a day off sick. Thanks though. I’m obviously monitoring the wrong channels because I didn’t get an alert about the first batch of tickets. C’est la guerre.

    Dead excited about tomorrow! I’d really like to run a session discussing micro-participation (see http://davepress.net/tag/microparticipation/ some background) which will be more of a chat than anything. Also I have a talk introducing digital engagement in government which some find entertaining and which I’m happy to do. See you all tomorrow!

    Delighted to confirm LocalGovCamp will be back, BACK, BAAAAAAACK on 18th June in Birmingham.

    we’re looking into various venues, their availability and cost at the moment – updates later this week hopefully.

    In reply to - James Arthur Cattell posted an update in the group BigLocalGovCamp: Have me looked at venues yet? The council chambers or BT’s offices in Brindley Sqaure would be good starting points. Have used both before. · View

    I’ll just make the point – there *were* 10 minute breaks between sessions at UKGC11 – just that nobody used them! ;-)

    Venue will probably define the date Louise. Working on it this week…

    In reply to - Dave Briggs posted an update in the group BigLocalGovCamp: It has been pointed out to me by someone with a far firmer grip on popular culture than I have that the 25th June is Glasto weekend. Probably best to have it on a different Saturday in June! · View

    You know what to do come session pitching time, then James!

    In reply to - James Arthur Cattell posted an update in the group BigLocalGovCamp: Just one important comment; less talking, more doing. I want interactive session a la Social Media Surgery and a hack day to solve real world #localgov problems. · View

            Over the years I have jumped fences, climbed under them, bribed security and, my favourite, walked straight through the gate looking confident with my hand in the air.

            This year I have a ticket. ’Cos I am old and decrepit an Mr Eavis has to build a wall that would do the Israelis proud to get his license.

            You could hire a hot air balloon, I suppose.

      I think (sorta selfishly and sorta practically) it should be in Birmingham, or at least central-ish, so folks don’t have to travel too far. I thought Fazeley Studios was a great fit at the last one, so if it ain’t broke, why fix it?

      I’d rule out Lincoln for something Big like this, as it’s a bugger to get to. Birmingham worked, but what about somewhere like Nottingham or Sheffield?

      Carl Haggerty · 1 year, 3 months ago

      Birmingham was a good location….i don’t really know the place so am happy to follow others guidance, although as Stuart says Fazeley worked well…what is the capacity

      date: we had it in June before so think a summer date would work well…what about Saturday June 25th

      Louise Kidney · 1 year, 3 months ago

      Agreed with summer and agreed with Birmingham too. Easy for most to get to I think – well except for Cornish or Scottish people ;O)

      Summer in Brum sounds perfect – but we don’t want to exclude anyone – are you happy with that Andrew?

        Hey, I’m cool! :) I only suggested the others for a change of scene but Brums nice enough; fairly straightforward for me to get to.

          from the southwest of England – Birmingham is easier and cheaper to get to than anywhere else pass Bristol….

              Exactly – from this end looking out – after Bristol – it’s practically international

        I thought you were calling it TeaCamp? Anyway, count me in… Birmingham’s fine I’ll just assume you’ve discounted super-rail-tastic Stoke already (less disappointment that way) but maybe for one in the future :)

          TeaCamp follows on from UKGC and is not sector specific as such…We are looking at a Local Gov specific Camp

  • Dave Briggs posted a new activity comment:   1 year, 3 months ago · View

    no!! merely ’big’ in the sense that it isn’t locality-specific!
