Ibliners,

I was wondering whether you, acting as representatives of your Provincial Assembly, would be interested in attending a Secteur Français Conference in which to discuss any plans that you may have for Secteur Français inter-provincial cooperation. Or indeed if you had any issues that you may feel that our sector needs to discuss or raise nationally.

I would suggest that it took place after the Elections and that it lasted for a 3 or 4 day period - other than that we can reach a consensus on a good time.

If it is a successful experience we could repeat, but it would be hosted by a different province of the Secteur Français.

Let me know what you think,

I will put it to a vote in the Assembly.

That is fine. If it is rejected as a whole, individuals will still be welcome.

And when you say representation, well, the more the merrier!

I think it is an absolutely wonderful idea. I look forward to future co-operation and cultural unity with the french sector.

Thankyou Nicholas!

Guys,

I would just like to say that this idea hasn't become dead in the water. We are currently in the process of structuring our provincial executive committee and, following the submission of my report to the First Minister, this idea is back on the agenda.

I think that a date in early June may be good, but I'm willing to compromise. Any ideas?

Regards,

I think that sounds fine for now.

Good stuff. We're going through the motions in Valenciennes at the moment, so I'll give you a definite date soon.
