Members meetings are scheduled quarterly but do rely on CLOA members volunteering assistance with venue, programme etc. Following the highly successful members meeting in Wigan in June 2009, which included dialogue with the Secretary of State for Health, Andy Burnham, we are now looking for a meeting in New Year 2010 in East London based on preparations for 2012. Following this we are hoping for a meeting with the AGM in Leeds in June 2010. Finally we are planning an "audience with" Ed Vaizey, again hopefully in the New Year at Arts Council, England's HQ.
