8. Mornings and evening slots
Christian Aid and Wild Goose in one tent. Aradhna and Sanctuary (Brum version with Pall Singh) in Centaur. Local quakers on Sun am. Left other morning tent option open but various suggestions were Johnny Parkes, Geraldine Latty, yoof band and agreed that whoever it is should work with Noel Mouelles as the bible teacher. L'arche are also a possibility for one morning or evening? Evenings - deaf worship and wild goose alternating? depending n who we get in the morning maybe we should keep a slot open for them?
Jonny to co-ordinate this part of programme - liase with alison adam (wild goose), noel, quakers etc...

9. Talks
Jenny Macintosh booked (Spirited exchanges), suggested Brian Walsh, Pete rollins is putting an idea in - was excellent last year, Steve H to chip in a proosed idea, said no to NOStalgia, orthodox idea - picked up by Diane, panle with Matt Redman and others on the cultures of worship? Noel Moulles is good - if he is coming for bible studies should use him in other ways?

10. Other bits and bobs
Survivor (Matt Redman and Tm Hughes and Johnny Parkes) are booked for Sun pm in Centaur. Bands will do the liason.
L'arche will do lunchtime liturgies and three tress service.
Big Sing Sun pm
Goth Mass - unclear where this should be - Stage 2 or New Forms? Dave and Ben both have contacts.
Catholic mass - need one. Unsure where to put it.
North car park stage is available if anyne fancies doing anything there? Catholic mass?
Othona offered stuff but seemed to fit with clasical rather than worship.
Suggestion of choral evensong with choir boys.
Fischy had requested doing stuff - said no as childrens team weren't interested
Video screen - seems to have been toned down in language of trustees. This very frustrating. Same old same old.... Will be 5 minute pieces from groups.
Zoo - agreed it should happen again in bar
Round table - was co-ordinated by Andrew Jones. Again?
Text worship - Ben, Gayle, Jenny, Adam to dream ideas
Actions: Jonny to e-mail l'arche re lunchtime liturgies and copy Sarah in to pick up liason on the other service. Suggested this could be in a tent one morning but would need a 2 hour slot (9-11)

Jenny to co-ordinate zoo
Steve to contact Andrew Jones re round table
Ben, Gayle, Jenny, Adam to plan text worship ideas.
Sarah to say no to Fischy
Sarah to push Othona community offer over to classical
Sarah - ask classical about choral evensong?

11. Make Poverty History
Simon Bateson is GB co-ordinator for the campaign day on the Monday. We looked at his suggestions and agreed an installation could be good but what it is depends on where it goes? Suggested a worship slot on North Car park stage Mon 10am led by Flan. Action fair is a good idea but not at stables. Thought communion needs to not focus on MPH. Flan had ideas of civil disobedience as worship...
Actions: not sure we agreed who would do anything about this? Flan is the obvious person from worship to carry this agenda forward?....
