CoFHE & UC&R Extraordinary Special Meeting 21st September cancelled.
This meeting has been cancelled.
Due to insufficient members being available for the meeting on Wednesday, Amanda Poulton from UC&R and I have decided to cancel the meeting.
Further information regarding next steps, with regards to the proposed merger will follow soon.
In the meantime, responses to the short survey are still very welcome. Equally any questions or comments you might have can be emailed directly to me. Please respond to the survey by 30th September, after which time we will collate the replies.
The responses we have had to the survey so far have been very useful, and we will endeavour to respond to the comments with further detail in due course.
With apologies for any inconvenience.

Joint statement on behalf of CoFHE & UC&R
Those of you who were able to attend either the CoFHE or UC&R AGM will be aware that preliminary discussions regarding a proposed merger of the two groups, to create a new group reflecting our common interests have been taking place. This has been discussed at both committees and committee members have agreed to proceed with the proposal. CILIP are providing advice and support through this process and it is hoped that the proposal to create the new group will be presented to council by 19th November. Members of both groups will be kept informed as discussions proceed.
If anyone has any comments or questions, please contact Amanda Poulton, Acting Chair of UC&R or Anne Rowlands, Chair of CoFHE.
