Hi everybody,
The next meeting of the Winnipeg General Strike Conference Committee is this Saturday at 1:30 in our regular place (2B23 Bryce Hall, University of Winnipeg).
I'll send out an agenda before the meeting, but let me know if you have anything to put on it.
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to make a formal proposal to the committee about a Friday
night event.
Fight for 15 Manitoba (FF15MB) will be organizing a social at X-cues (551
Sargent ave) on the night of May 10th. It will be a casual event meant for
socializing and a networking opportunity for FF15MB. We'll have a 50\50 to
raise money for FF15MB. We might organize a pool tournament depending if
people are interested.
In terms of advertising and arrangements for event FF15MB will be handling
that.
The only requests are if the event could be placed in the conference
schedule and if the committee could cover the cost of the space booking
($200).
Thank you for the consideration.
Scott Price
Decisions need to be made regarding room choices (see below). Please add this to the agenda for our next meeting.
Thank you.
Janis

Good Afternoon Janis,
The classrooms have been released and I was able to book your additional breakout spaces.
For the duration of the conference you already have Manitoba Theatres 4M31 and 4M47 booked. In addition to those I have the following options for you:
Thursday, May 9 (Booked 8:00- 3:45 p.m.) :
3C01 (120 capacity)
3M59 (39 capacity)
3M64 (36 capacity)
3M67 (35 capacity)
Friday, May 10 (Booked 8:00- 3:45 p.m.):
3C01 (120 capacity)
3M59 (39 capacity)
3M64 (36 capacity)
3M67 (35 capacity)

Saturday, May 11 (Booked 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.) :

For childcare I have 1 room available at 8:00 a.m. Thursday until 1:00 p.m. Saturday on the second floor of Manitoba I think might be best, it is 2M73. It does seat 77 so if you would prefer to use it for the conference and a smaller room on the 3rd floor let me know, I just thought it was more central to Convocation Hall and the book fair and has the washrooms close by.
Please let me know your preferences and if you have any questions!
Best,

Hi Everyone,
A very easy Friday night opportunity has presented itself that will serve to reduce the Friday night workload for us (ie, the need to compile a list of suggested places for folks to go since planning an official event is looking like a no-go). I had a chance to talk to the manager at the Good Will on Portage (http://thegoodwill.ca/), and he said they would be very pleased to welcome us for an official pub night there (5-9-ish). It’s an easy walk from UW and, I believe, fully accessible. The have food and drink that would accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements. Our conference sessions end at five, and we could direct folks there then.
They will have some bands going on at 9, and our folks would either have to pay the $10 cover to stay for that (so the bands can be paid) or head out. Interestingly, the gig they had planned for that night seems to have fallen through, and it sounds (but this is not confirmed) that they might be looking to do one of their “Bands as Bands” events. For those of you who don’t know, this is where they get a few local bands to interpret the music of well-known artists. This is definitely not confirmed, but when I raised it, the manager said it might be possible for them to try to shape this Bands as Bands around labour-flavoured acts like Springsteen or, GASP, Billy Bragg!
I gave Jason a heads-up on this possibility, since he was holding the WECC for us that night, and it looks like there’s a possibility that the WECC could cosponsor this with the GW. I guess they’ve done things like this before. So that would be a nice bonus, which we’ll still need to explore.
I’m waiting to hear back from the GW with more info on all this (but mostly that they can definitely accommodate us from 5-9 for the pub night portion). Before this went any further with this, though, I wanted to bring this to y’all to make sure I should proceed.

Hello everyone,
The entertainment sub-committee explored many options and reached the
following decision:
The 1919 committee will co-sponsor the CCPA Boots Riley event on Saturday
evening. Registrants will have time to attend both the Riley event and the
Labour Temple social.
For Friday night, the conference schedule will provide a list of local
events, venues, and restaurants people can go to on their own. We decided
this based on the lack of time to organize something worthwhile and with
the conference schedule already packed as it is we decided to give people
the chance to do whatever it is they want to do.
*Unless a **majority of the committee objects **before Friday 4:00 PM, *we
will proceed with contacting the CCPA so that our conference logo can be
included on the ads for the event that are going out on Monday.
We will also ask the CCPA to set aside a number of reduced-price tickets
for conference attendees, and contact registrants to act quickly to get a
ticket.
Scott Price
Here is the response from Bragg. We were aware that his American tour ended a couple of weeks before our date. I guess he wasn't willing to stay or come back. We will proceed with Plan B, at the WECC.

Hi everyone,
I didn't have the numbers to give a report on registrations. Here's what we've got:
Full fee ($100): 79 (33 on line; 45 by cheque; 1 by phone)
Discounted ($50): 6 (6 on line)
Free (Themed Roundtables): 10
For a total of 95 registrations so far.
I should note two things: The registrations by cheque have been bulk registrations by two unions. And, there were several attempts at registration that failed. I have emailed all of these individuals with an apology, and instructions for phone and mail registration.
