WDM’s 2008 AGM and national campaigner convention will take place on Saturday 14 – Sunday 15 June, at Smallwood Manor, near Uttoxeter (gmap). The event will run from 10.30am to 6.30pm on Saturday, with more activities on Sunday morning and plenty of Saturday evening entertainment!
Come along for the day on Saturday or stay overnight – accommodation is available on the nights of Friday 14 and Saturday 15 and meals will be provided from Friday evening through to Sunday lunchtime. Rooms at Smallwood are fairly basic, youth-hostel style and the majority of beds are in dormitories. If you would like to stay nearby but would prefer a hotel or B&B we can provide you with a list.
Families welcome – Smallwood Manor includes beautiful grounds, a
swimming pool and close location to Alton Towers.

Workshops
Our campaigns & skills based workshops will include:
European trade
Find out more about what the new European trade deals will mean for millions of the world’s poorest people and what WDM will be doing to stop these deals with our new campaign.
Climate change
We can still stop runaway climate change. How to take action at the grassroots – including updates on the battles around airport expansion and new coal-fired power stations.
Media
A two-part workshop on making local media work for your group – from advice on press releases to practice radio interviews and making the best use of new media.
Profile raising & effective outreach
Come along for tips on designing great publicity materials and eye-catching stalls, as well as advice on communication skills.
Travel arrangements
We are aware that the earliest train leaving Uttoxeter on Sunday 15 June is at 3pm. Therefore we will be providing minibus shuttles to Derby railway station on Sunday morning to enable people to catch earlier trains.
