"Thanks, Sue. Seems clear we need more formal communications, hence more formal organisation, for the steering group. Sorry to hear about Katie's ankle. 6.30 at Arnolfini bar on 4th May is do-able for me, but I think bar is not ideal for…"

Bristol directly elected mayor debate project
Phil Winterton and I have met and discussed this project, with general agreement between us on the parameters of the debate(s) that could be held, and the actors who could usefully be involved - including local party politicians likely to be active in a putative mayoral election, local politics academics (UWE, Bristol Univ), maybe quango/political association/think tank representatives (e.g. the LGA), a local 'great-and-good' business leader (such as Nick Sturge of the IoD etc), some of whom…See More

"These two are Bristol Cafe of Ideas and Bristol Festival of Ideas respectively, David."
Toby Procter commented on RSA Networks's group 'Bristol Network'
