Cultural STOMP Planning Meeting
Hi All,
So what do you think, shall we get this party started?
Please come along to the Pod next Wednesday November 19 from 6 pm to talk about next years event on June 6 (to coincide with World Environment Day June 5)
With the theme of "Be the Change" there is a lot of scope to make a special event in 2009.
Of course we need people to commit their time, ideas and energies to the process of creating the STOMP and to changing the social and cultural face of Newcastle.
I will send out my report of this years event later in the week so that you can come to the meeting with great ideas to refine and enhance the organisation of the event.
