County Camp - Have your say BBC ONE SEEKS FAMILIES TO
STEP BACK IN TIME Would you and your family like to tread in your ancestors' footsteps in a unique living history experience? BBC ONE's hit living history series TURN BACK TIME is back! Last year we sent shopkeepers back in time on the British High Street. This year we're looking at family life through the ages and we're on the hunt for families to travel through time and experience a century of change first hand. We'll take a street of houses back to 1901 and over the course of several weeks we'll fast forward our families through the 20th century. In an exciting new twist, some of our families' journey will even be based on their own family history! Over the course of the century, the street's community will evolve and reflect change in British society - so as well as two parent families we'd love to hear from single parent families and anyone whose family migrated to the UK in the post-war years. If you'd like to find out more, we'd love to hear from you! But please don't do any additional research into your family history - it's helpful if you don't know too much in advance. Filming will be in Spring 2012. For more information please

O'Reilly on 020 7241 9399 Advocacy Seminars at Sangam Two Advocacy seminars coming up at Our Sangam in September and December this year, events are open to 18-35 year olds: http://www.sangamworldcentre.org/en/news/21198 They are guaranteed to be fantastic experiences and you will learn a lot of new skills for bringing about change in your community (which we would love to utilise in ASSK when you return!). You don't need to be selected for this event, you can just apply direct, and you can apply for financial support from the Anglia International Bursary. If you are interested in advocacy, charity work, or youth participation then I really recommend these events - you will make a lot of friends along the way too! If you'd like to talk about this opportunity, then feel free to contact me - I know a little about it, but I know a couple of young women who can probably answer any question you have as well. Pippa Gardner Bedfordshires young people's forum Hi, Following the sessions at county training day the proposal for a young people's forum was taken to county executive and the proposal was agreed. Each Division has been asked to find up to four representatives. The first meeting will be on 17th July at Hetley House (see attached invitation). If you would like to be a member of this forum, or come along to find out more about it then please let me know. In addition if you are interested but cannot make the 17th July, let me know so that I can include you in future communications. The main objective of the first meeting is to agree a name and first projects to work on and confirm committee members and plan autumn weekend.
