Are TWSW» still holding their General Meeting on March 2 in light of this?0
The
ACoRP▸ meeting only just came to my attention today ... so there has been no discussion.
My personal thoughts:
1. TWSW has set the autumn date to AVOID the ACoRP awards, which is an event that's grown to the best part of 500 people attending from across the
UK▸ . The event in this thread is much smaller - around just 10 potential delegates following the "2 per
CRP▸ " of whom (guessing for individuals) less than half would normally attend TWSW, and those are from CRPs who have a broad team, so both meetings could be managed.
2. The ACoRP meeting doesn't really kick off until 2 p.m. (runs through to 9 p.m.) on the Monday, and anyone really concerned to be at both could attend the morning at TWSW and then catch the train up to Bristol (one stop, every 30 minutes).
3. Changing the date would upset plans already in people's diaries.
So - good question, but in my view no reason to change it. I will forward a link to this thread to the TWSW secretary though / and we have a TWSW board meeting this week so will ensure it gets raised; please do not except the date to change.
I do actually regret not meeting the criteria to attend the
DfT» / ACoRP meeting ... in particular I look at the Integrated Transport workshop with Stephen Joseph, in the knowledge that I expect an opportunity to be rearing its head in my area very soon ...
