<br>
All,<br>
<br>
I'm happy to wish you a great year 2011 and announce our first BCB of<br>
the year, with BarCampBankLondon4 happening on Jan 31st, the day<br>
before the first Finovate Europe. A formidable opportunity for fi-<br>
innovators to douple-dip.<br>
<br>
Below, an extract from Dave's post - <a href="http://bit.ly/e5Hinm" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/e5Hinm</a> - will give<br>
you a bit of context.<br>
<br>
I'm really excited by this opportunity of discussing so many of the<br>
regular BarCampBank's subjects that could contribute to the "Big<br>
Society" project.<br>
<br>
Registration happen at <a href="http://www.meetup.com/BarCampBankLondon/calendar/15847264/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/BarCampBankLondon/calendar/15847264/</a><br>
<br>
Hurry up, the registration rate has been incredibly high!<br>
<br>
See you at #BCBL4,<br>
<br>

This year, there will be a special focus on the role of financial<br>
services and institutions and their potential to help local<br>
communities unlock currently underutilised capacity to meet currently<br>
unmet needs. Why? Well, the new coalition government in the UK has an<br>
initiative called "The Big Society": The Big Society is about helping<br>
people to come together to improve their own lives and putting more<br>
power in peoples hands. There is real interest - both within and<br>
outside of government - around the potential of 'people helping<br>
people' models such as complementary currencies and timebanking. The<br>
recent "giving" green paper consultation - <a href="http://bit.ly/gH26Pn" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/gH26Pn</a> -<br>
launched by the Cabinet Office makes particular reference to the<br>
potential of complementary currencies and raises questions around<br>
scaling local timebanks on a national scale.<br>
