Dear Colleagues
I am delighted to be able to confirm with you the dates of the 5 regional Neighbourhood & Home Watch Conferences scheduled for January and February 2010, open to the membership across England & Wales, as promised at the July NHWN Consultation Event this year. The conferences will be designed to engage grassroots members in learning and consultation and to highlight to a wider audience the potential role of the Neighbourhood & Home Watch Network (NHWN) movement (including the draft business plan 2010-2015), the findings of the action learning being undertaken by ERS and case study participants, as well as the development of the website and brand by the Design Council. All of which I am sure you will find very interesting and exciting!!!!
The dates and grouped regions are as follows:
January 30 th - Wales & West Midlands - 150 places
6 th February - North East, North West & Yorks & Humber - 200 places
13 th February – South East & London - 150 places
20 th February – East Midland & east of England - 150 places

This email is just to give you as much advance notification as possible to add these date to your diary for 2010 Further information will be sent to you next week from Conference Search who will handle all aspects of the conference arrangements on our behalf. They will also be able to answer any questions you may have in due course.
I am confident that you will ensure that your grassroots members are notified of these forthcoming events and I look forward to meeting you and your members all personally as I will be attending each event. May I take this opportunity to thank each of you for your work and support for the watch movemen and wish you all a very safe, secure and happy Christmas on behalf of the Neighbourhood & Home Watch Network committee.
