Hi All
 
To follow-up on previous housekeeping correspondence:
1 . Topics for 2013 
A few responses to topics below were received by email and at last Tuesday's meeting. Additions to the list are in blueBlack BOLDED are those that more than one member felt should be prioritised for 2013. Please note, ease of getting a presenter and logistics also factor into the choices for the year. Remember, you can always send suggestions (preferably with speakers!) at any time. And, if you want to address a topic that might be too narrow in focus for a whole session, use the listserve. Anyone can post.

1. Sharing our successes - select a success story from your work and come and share. Others may learn from your experiences or help them spark some ideas!
2. Something on doing/using oral history
3. Using personal experiences in programmes
4. Top resources/props - show and tell
5. Staff training resources
6. Using technology in museums/programming
7. Outreach - taking the museum programmes out of the museum
10. Holiday Programmes
11. Libraries within museums - access and use
12. Using films in edu programmes - pros and cons
13. Display techniques
14. SAMA - who they are and what they do
15. Changes to the curriculum
16. Volunteers - getting and using them effectively
17. Getting and using meaningful feedback from learners and teachers
18. Human Rights education
 
2. Chair 2013 
No takers on the Chair and so I will continue another year. I am still looking for anyone interested in helping me find speakers/plan meetings where needed. This can be done over email and in minimal time. I feel we need others' networks and fresh ideas.
 
3. Dates for 2013
I would like to propose the following dates for next year's meetings: Thurs 31 Jan, Tues 23 April, Thurs 25 July, Tues 24 Oct.
Please let me know ASAP if you see any clashes that would affect lots of people - obviously, it is hard to please everyone. Once we have the dates, I will attach topics to them and ask for hosts so watch this space. 
Helen
