Conference Campaign: 6 Days to go
Still no word from Caroline or Andy as to whether or not they support banning students or any other groups from certain events. Don't be shy guys - leave a message in the comments or email me.I was reminded that Zoe Aylward (who proposed me last year) organised an event on a party boat on the Thames. This required, as all social events do, a lot of time and effort. Anyway, Zoe headed off on holiday only to return to find that the event had been cancelled because there was some confusion over whether the event was Student Life or Working Life.
Student Life or Working Life? What's wrong with getting the boat, filling it with CF members of all shapes and sizes, adding alcohol and setting sail?
Zoe took the news with tremendous good humour and patience, but it was a shabby way to deal with someone else's work.
Getting hung up on the student question is counterproductive - providing good events smartly targetted is the way to attract Working Life members.

I don't think I'll be attending an event with a 17 yr.old in a Tweed jacket when I'm 29 and currently involved in the trading business.
I'm sure you can see my point.....
Handy hint: when spamming an opponents campaign website don't do it from your home computer.

In answer to your question, if any student wants to pay £140 for an event that's fair enough. Few will, but banning them just because is a poor way to run an organisation (and a surprisingly socialist idea).
I have run regular training days for the copywriters where the ages have varied between 29 and 16 - It's not a problem unless you want to make it one.
