Side representatives plus…..

In an attempt to attract a wider participation as we did in 2009 we are combining the important business element of the weekend with instructionals on the Saturday - not with the intention of showing how things ought to be done but to give participants the opportunity to see and learn one side or individual’s interpretation.  .

1.       Rapper Workshop

2.     North West Workshop – tutored by Earlsdon MM

3.     Adderbury  - according to the Janet Blunt manuscripts. (To be confirmed)

We unashamedly want to lure more people to attend the event to both introduce them to our democratic processes and to help keep the costs down as economies of scale work with this as with any other meeting. As with 2009 men can attend only for the instructional elements and attend the ARM if they so wish, or attend only the ARM joining the instructional element if they so wish. All in all we hope that the combined event will remain the pleasant sociable weekend surrounding the ARM as has become the recent tradition.

 The programme for the 2010 ARM weekend looks like this:

Friday evening: In addition to the usual mixture of informal conversation, with opportunities for dancing, singing and drinking, we are negotiating a special showing of Morris – a life with bells on.  This is being opened to any and all of the local sides, partners, etc. by prior booking, for a nominal charge.
