Important to get priorities right this week! We were the second family in our road to get a new fangled TV in 1958, and I remember watching Newsreel of the Munich air crash, following which MU ‘s “Busby Babes” got into the FA Cup Final that year against all the odds, but losing to Bolton – header by Nat Lofthouse at the end was the undoing. I cried- I was 9! So Fergie’s retirement this week is an important event for some of us!
Obviously I have got the full fixture list for the Rugby World Cup in England in summer 2015, and the atmosphere is building already….
Oh yes- work!
Well a quiet week following the Bank Holiday. Surrey Community Action had their annual conference on Tuesday morning – first day back, so it felt a bit odd. I fear too many speakers, ran late, and I think many of us wanted to hear more about the RAISE survey findings. Pity. Then had to rush to meeting at 2.00 pm at the social enterprise (also in Leatherhead), which is coming on- funds in bank, now need to sign off 3 year lease and get staff.
Otherwise dominated by completing the Business Plan for 2013/14, and starting to write the Annual Report for 2012-13. Also finished a business case for the Consortium to bid to GMTs for funds for mental health training for youth workers that will be discussed at the Consortium Board next Friday.
Bidders for Surrey CC’s Local Prevention Framework grants are waiting to hear if they are required at the next stage - 2 mini-competitions (ie dragons den type presentations) the first of which is Elmbridge next Tuesday, and then Epsom on Wed…….just in time??
Strategically important discussion with colleagues in Sussex this afternoon- more later, and also we have got financial backing and sponsorship from a major bank for our COMMUNILAB idea, so maybe not so quiet this week after all!
