I see this is an event for professionals... Let's hope they go! This is where the message needs to be heard.
So it is! I hadn't noticed. Yes, let's hope they go!

This is taking place in the Stormont Buildings, which is where the Northern Ireland Assembly meets. The more politicians who attend that meeting to hear James Coyne lay into PACE, the better. Anyone on this board who lives in Northern Ireland should contact all of their MLA's and urge them to attend this meeting (and get friends and family to do the same).
Thanks - I've put all that in the title.
Thank you @Stewart for explaining about Stormont.
I have just created another thread asking for donations to sponsor the information packs we hope to provide for delegates for the Stormont event.

That link has gone dead - do you know anything about that, @Keela Too? Is there a better link somewhere?
Cheers, Keela Too. I'll contact the Irish ME Trust to see if they are interested.
There will be two events it seems, one for professionals and one open session:

I "think" this should now take you to an online version of our flyer for the event!

Edit: Okay think the above link goes to a folder in which the file resides... this link I hope should go directly to the file: http://tiny.cc/k82a8x

Thanks - yes, that works!
Transcription might be a useful resource for those who don't take spoken info in very well, or are short on time (like MLAs!) and don't have time to attend the session or watch a video.
When we transcribed (as a group!) James Coyne's Edinburgh talk, we used this brilliant online thing:

Saved HOURS.
Yes two events. One for professionals (as they tend not to go if they think an event is for patients) and one event for patients and other interested folk.
I'm wondering though if perhaps better than a full transcription (which can make for a very long document) if a report of what was said might be better?
I have some-one in mind already who hopes to report on the event. And I certainly hope to be taking notes if I get to one or both events.
I agree @Sasha that transcribing tool was really useful. And certainly once the presentation goes on You Tube then a transcription would be possible, much like the last one was done.

I'd say they're not mutually exclusive. Coyne was very colourful in what he said in his Edinburgh talk and it was good to hear/read him coming out with very direct and frank things, which I think would get a bit muted in a report. But a report would be good for certain purposes. If you've got a volunteer for a transcript and another for a report, I'd take full advantage!
Yes, don't wear yourself out!
