Oblong Assembly and Working Group meetings - get involved!
Posted March 17th, 2008 by duncanAt the end of March Oblong will lose around 80% of our funding. We want to keep the centre open as much as we can but will be relying on volunteers to make it happen. The response so far has been amazing but we still need more people to help us. Get in touch or come to a meeting if you would like to get involved in any of the areas below, or if you would like more information. All meetings are at Oblong.
Oblong Assembly
The main meeting where important decisions are made and all the working groups get together.
Next meeting 8th April 7pm.
