Recently, DrugScope have recruited a Membership Development Officer – Carlita McKnight – who will be line managed by Martin Barnes (Chief Executive at DrugScope), and is due to start this month. Carlita will undertake the following secretarial tasks for the NNEF:
ACTION: Helen and Pauline will write to DrugScope on behalf of the NNEF to thank them – and especially Chris Hooker – for their continued support and assistance. It was noted that, without the support of DrugScope, the NNEF would have ceased to function.
ACTION: Helen to contact existing Planning Group members again to establish those who can play an active role, and to add those who have expressed an interest in becoming Planning Group members.
The following individuals have expressed interest in remaining on, or joining the planning group:
Martin Chandler*, Susan Waldron*, Terry Shields*, Andrew Preston*, Vicky Fenwick* Alison Hughes, Jim Kearne, Raychel Peters, Richard Humphrey, Cat Dare, Lidia Woods
NB This list is not inclusive of elected officers, who are listed separately in item 3 of these minutes.

ACTION: Planning Group to start organising the next NNEF meeting in the summer.
For spring 2009, Martin Chandler has explored the possibility of hosting an all-day meeting at Liverpool John Moore University. Potentially, the venue and catering costs would be covered by the University, as well as accommodation for those who need to come up the night before.
ACTION: Martin to explore this further and seek a date in the University’s Easter break but, ideally, not in the Easter school holidays.
