Update 17 Oct
1 This page has been revamped.
It's the first of all HCS pages on the source site to go to the same site.
2a The HCS section now includes Carers Rights Day One reason for that is that the
Ross Carer Group includes members with Internet access. That site can no longer cope
with new pages and will soon find its way here, once the go-ahead is given. To save an
email, I'll proceed on Monday 21 Oct at noon. In the meantime, pages might be added.
They won't be intra-linked yet which causes a lot more work if the URL (browser address) is changed.
2b The Madley members were given a song sheet with the address for the Ross site. It was for the Clap
Your Hands song along with the Dem Carers song which they sang. See the foot of the page here.
3 In support of 2, there's a new page here which includes books by Prof Clements.
I borrowed his Rights book via HW within 4.
I've bought his Community book (a true door-stopper) and can bring it if there's interest.
4 HW and I talked in early September and the matter of a local article being published was raised. If it is to emerge in time for the Ross November meeting, time is pressing. It would
be under her name and wouldn't need my name to be attached. It would, of course,
include the Group website URL. ie rcsg.yolasite.com/
5 One reason for the article is to promote the Xmas lunch with mention of turning up in Nov to the group meeting, if that's within policy. However, just turning up for the lunch without
warning must be prevented.
There was animated enthusiasm for a group meeting so that members can tell everyone about their hobbies. The article could include that along with a further welcome for those who like singing.
6 Which appropriately takes us back to the iPad. At the Oct meeting of Ross Carer
Group, ideally soon to be Ross Carer Support Group, members were keen to explore
making a DVD. With plenty of time before the Xmas lunch, I feel a carol coming on.
7 Fairly recently, I heard about a website meeting. It's now over, of course. When I look at the website, it's obvious that something isn't right. I am collecting a list of mishaps which may be of use to those who deal with the site.
8a In the light of the new Ross Carer Group website having emerged, I'm keen to follow all policy relating to such ventures.
8b Eventually, such policy could include control. Many organisations, as is common knowledge, incorporate local websites into their system. Look at the U3A here. Local branches are given a
variety of website formats to use as it sees fit - up to a point. There's a central body which keeps tabs.
8c The local members who make the decisions determine what goes on their website.
Someone takes responsibility for putting it into effect. She/he is given a password.
8d All this might go into the melting pot. There may be little flame under it just now.
Keeping abreast of technology is important.
8e I rest my (brief)-case. The full case will follow according to response. It includes the
pros and cons along with £ considerations.
9 As readership has increased, HCS's Rag-Time Band no longer appears here. (Save it?
Just tell me if other pages ought to be amended or disappear.
Update 15 Oct
This page when revamped and all the songs will find their way to The UK Carers World
Update 15 Oct
Dean Forest Crossroads is now on board.
Update 14 Oct
1 a Thanks to HW, The Hot-water Bottle song had its debut in Madley today. Hymn-sheet.
b That was printed with Clap Your Hands on an A5 sheet.
c HW has copies along with Dem Carers
d You could start singing if you haven't been singing to the webpages
e There's two Word docs via email if it's easier
2 There's "Call You and Yours" on Tuesday 15 Oct at 12:04 on Radio 4. 0370 010 0444
and the programme is, of course, on other week-days at the same time.

Using my respite time yesterday on the motorway to Birmingham to see family, You and Yours was on the radio. It was useful as far as carers are concerned. The page is now here.
