Hi
I know this seems a tad early but I have to go into hospital on Monday and will be out of circulation until early December (and might not make the meeting) so please accept this notice as your formal invitation for the 9th December 2009 at 1230 at HBJ Gateley Wareing on Edmund Street (location and directions attached)
Steve Wood from Birmingham Library will be our guest speaker
Please let Caroline Moseley whether or not you intend to be there so that we can make the necessary arrangements for catering, etc.
Additionally, those of you who are CILIP members may have seen the latest edition of Open Access which had significant coverage of Web 2.0 including details of CILIP workshops being run in Birmingham during December at the NTI by Phil Bradley
Web 2.0 Workshops
Internet guru Phil Bradley is running two half-day Web 2.0 Workshops at the New Technology Institute in Birmingham on 17 December. Places are still available and you can download the course programme and booking form at: http://bit.ly/sfgHH
We had begun to develop an ALLICE training event for next Spring on this topic (possibly as a joint venture with BIALL) and would have sounded members out on their interest in this later in the year.
Given these imminent CILIP workshops, though, it might be best to 'test the water' now.
Is anyone planning to attend the CILIP Web 2.0 workshop in December?
If not, could you say if you'd be interested in a ALLICE/BIALL workshop on this topic next Spring?
Please send your replies to a committee member (Caroline Mosley, Caroline Covington or Diane Harris)

Subscriptions
The meeting voted in favour of an increase in subscriptions to £25 from 1st September 2009
Future events
The meeting supported the plan to run the company information event as proposed and agreed that the focus should be on ‘free’ company information sources with additional references to business development and marketing.

Next meeting
The next meeting will be held at Anthony Collins on Wednesday 2nd September 2009.
Phil Uttley was asked to contact Steve Wood, Service Manager, Information Services at Birmingham Reference Library to see if he could join us for that meeting

ALLICE meeting - 3rd June 2009 - for comment
Hi
The next ALLICE meeting will take place at 12.30 pm on Wednesday 3rd June at Clarke Willmott, 138 Edmund Street
This will be a business meeting, primarily to discuss Association finances and planned activity over the next 12 months
The treasurer's projections of likely income and expenditure using various subscription levels follow this note. We'd like to be able to formulate a proposal on future subscriptions that can be sent out to all members after the meeting. If you can't make the meeting, please let me have your views so that these can be included in the discussion.
We'd also like to develop ideas about putting on more events like the EIA seminar we ran last year. Details of a proposed event showing course fees that would be necessary to make it self-funding follow the treasurer's report. Again, please let us know at the meeting, or before if you're not attending, what you think of this proposal, from both a content and cost perspective.
Please let me know whether you can attend or not
Regards
Phil
