crowdpac.com is the new organization headed by Old Blue Steve Hilton - possible a new think-tank link for Campaign 1552. Anyone had experience/knowledge on crowdpac? David

Re: PETITION: Is 26% Full-Fee Paying Pupils Too High?

The discussion is becoming well energized on new ideas. And the maps and graphics assembled by Julian are most beneficial. This Campaign 1552 movement is gathering extra steam in the week of the key meeting of the Council of Almoners - on March 17 - to discuss the whole matter of Petition 1552. I ho...

Well we have 22 signatories from Canada according to Graham and BC is where all this started so I wonder via Katharine how this could be addressed? Also a proposed Governance Chart maybe? David

Re: PETITION: Is 26% Full-Fee Paying Pupils Too High?

Dear Julian, Many thanks for your excellent graphics which should be amongst the documents for the thirteen Almoners on St Patrick's Day. I believe that a major breakthrough looms for Petition 1552. This has been to date an extraordinary process. Fraternally David

Katharine has kindly offered to email these very enlightening documents to all those interested but I wonder if the forum moderator could find a way to make these documents widely accessible to the forum readers?

Re: PETITION: Is 26% Full-Fee Paying Pupils Too High?

The meeting seems to have been constructive and there will be a report shortly but the issue is what now happens on March 17 at Council. That will be the proof of the pudding. Campaign 1552 will keep going until its demands are met.
