Report on Meeting at Luton Lives
28a Chapel Street

Discussed with Shohir Mintu.

Luton Lives is a three-year demonstration project funded 
by the Home Office to develop new and innovative ways to 
encourage and promote volunteering.
It is managed by/via Luton Borough Council.

I Described what LanDclub is and how network operates.

They have a cyber-suite and offer fre internet training
for local groups.

Last year they ran a one-month radio station called
Diverse 107.7 fm.  They plan to repeat this again
this year. In this context they were interested to
hear about L&D Hospital Radio and potential feed into
the net.

Mintu thought that LanDclub would be in a better
position to establish a network with local support
if it was properly constituted. He offered some
help in how to go about this (which I may well take
up, if the members agree).

I think there could be many ways we could give their
volunteers experience that may be useful to them.
