Hi

 

WSSN have now arranged a meeting for Thursday 27th October. Would you be able to attend at 1pm so we could continue our discussions re. the Men’s Network?

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Best wishes

Hi Lisa,

I have attached our position statement for you to look through before the meeting on Monday.  Jackie and Hannah will be attending and I have copied them into this email as I will be away from the internet after this eveninguntil Tuesday.  Could you let them knwo where the meeting will be held?

Many thanks again for agreeing to meet with us to discuss this.

Best wishes

Laura

Hi Laura

 

Thanks for your email. I think it would probably make sense for us to meet to discuss the issues you raise as BWC and the wider women's voluntary sector (WSSN) are very much aware of the Men's Network and the agenda they support. You may well like to attend the next meeting of WSSN to highlight the concerns of your group. If you would be interested in attending, I will forward your request to the network.

 

best wishes

Hi Lisa,

 

Feminist brighton is a small activist group in brighton - you may remember coming to and speaking at our event last November?  I'm emailing because the group has recently started discussing the Brighton and Hove Men's Network, particularly some of the comments and pages on their website which members of the group felt misrepresented equalities legislation and the case for women's rights and the role of feminism in this and the under acheivement of boys and men. 

 

We wanted to draft a response to the group, along the lines that whilst we think they are doing important work, their message undermines work done by women's services in the city, and the specific needs of women who use them.  We wondered if you had come across or had any contact with the group and whether this might fit in with any work that you have been doing?  Any information you have would be really useful, the group is undertaking some initial investigations to see whether this is worth researching and what type of response would be appropriate. 

 

Best wishes

 

Laura Sterry

I should be able to, depending on what time it is.

 

I will ask my boss if I can take the time in lieu, if I can make it can someone refresh me on our main points?

It's at 1pm, which is a difficult time for me.  If it's difficult for you as well perhaps I could ask them to make it later?

I can make 1pm, but if you’d like to come (probably best to have both of us present) I am happy for you to move it around.

Lisa isn't able to move the time as that's the only time that fits in with the other members, so I wont be able to attend unfortunately.  If anyone else is free at that time to go as well that would be great, but also maybe the best thing to do would be to meet next week sometime to go through where we are.  I can meet after work everyday next week, so let me know what's best and we can meet somewhere to recap.
