Getting Organised in the Midlands

Yesterday I attended the PCS Midlands Region 'Organising Conference'. Apart from the usual train journey woes it was a great day. There were a number of guest speakers talking on a variety of topics such as organising, campaigning and engaging young members. The PCS General Secretary Mark Serwotka was also in attendance to give us the latest information on the National Campaign. I did have one small crisis in the morning... my camera batteries let me down! I was feeling quite irritated, then I said to myself 'you are in the middle of Birmingham, there are lots of shops!'. Ten minutes later back in my seat with working batteries ;-)

Some of you might remember my dismay at last minute tasks. This is the result and thankfully it went down well with everyone. Sorry about the poor visual quality, that's You Tube for you!

You will look back on this and have a laugh, the little things that test us give us the best memories :)

Nunyaa - We all do together already. We have lots of fun memories, it makes up for all the hard work that we do!

James - There are some very colourful characters, and I don't mean me wearing pink ;-)

The man on the right has a plant growing on his head...

Glad it went well, cherrypie - but I never had any doubt!

Mutley - If only you could see what was behind the plant and off the top of the photo...

Welshcakes - Thank You for having faith in me xx

You are very proficient at this, Cherie. The effect is reminiscent of using two Carousels and a control box. A lot less clutter.

Great post. I have a hell of a lot of time for Mark Serwotka.

Aileni - Thank You, I suspect that is why I keep getting asked!

Jams - Yes he is a great guy, I always love to hear him speak :-)

And lucky for you, your car was still there when you got back.
