After speaking to Chris, I've been mulling over the time thing once again....and there is another alternative to think about.
I think we all agreed at present that the most important facet of the project for now is our own AL Set; having the time to develop it, practice our own facilitation skills and grow as Set members etc etc. But I am also aware that there is an obligation to report back, develop better links within CLP etc - and that myself (in the project management/co-ordination role) and Chris (as director of the lead organisation) maybe could take that part of it outside of our time together as a whole group - at least until we are really confident and ready to go further with it. Usually, I prefer to work more holistically, but in these circumstances I actually think it makes alot more sense if the more functional aspects of this project DON'T intefere with the more important creative process. If this were the case, at the next two meetings, Chris and I could meet on the Weds afternoon/evening. Then when other people arrive (with Wednesday evening still being optional and open to everyone) on Thursday, we can move seemlessly into AL and take the whole day - and evening too, if needs be.
Is anyone reading these blogs?????????
