SUMMARY:Signpost Event: Funding public services: postcode lotteries or local responsibilities?
DESCRIPTION:Where should decisions on our taxes and public services be taken? Should services be funded on a comparable basis nationally from national taxes? Or should councils and other local public sector organisations have responsibility for funding services in their area\, and discretion over what to spend and how to raise their revenues? Is more local responsibility a good thing that will empower communities to improve and tailor services? Or does it simply risk worsening ‘postcode lotteries’ in access to services and the taxes we pay? Would it address concerns\, implicated in the Brexit vote\, that decisions are made by a distant and out-of-touch elite? Or would it widen inequalities\, breeding further political divisions? \nThese questions and more will be discussed at a presentation and debate hosted by the Institute for Fiscal Studies and Birmingham University. \nTo find out more about this event and sign up follow this link.

SUMMARY:Blue Plaque to Bertha Ryland to be unveiled
DESCRIPTION:The Trustees of the Birmingham Civic Society and Birmingham Museums warmly invite you to the unveiling of a Commemorative Blue Plaque to Bertha Ryland on Friday 16 November\, at 12.00pm. \nIn the centenary year of the Representation of the People Act\, we are proud to unveil a new plaque to suffragette Bertha Ryland in Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.  On 9 June 1914 Bertha Ryland entered the museum and attacked a painting as part of the militant campaign for women’s rights. The attack took place as protests escalated across the UK with suffragettes fighting to have their voices heard. This event does not condone Bertha’s actions but honours her principles and the fight for women’s rights.  This event will give a greater insight into Birmingham’s role in the suffrage movement. Taking place in the Round Room the plaque will be revealed as part of a ceremony that features a short presentation by researcher and author Dr Nicola Gauld and dramatic performance by actress Francesca Millican-Slater.  An optional tour of a new exhibition “Women\, Power\, Protest” will follow with curator Emalee Beddoes-Davis. \nThe Blue Plaque unveiling forms part of a weekend of thought-provoking events and performances from Friday 16 to Sunday 18 November – including a women in parliament discussion with local female MPs – and is part of the programme for Women Power Protest\, an Arts Council Collection National Partnership exhibition. In the anniversary year for women’s suffrage the weekend of events reflects on the progress made for women’s rights and asks just how much has changed for women today? \nWhen: Friday 16th November 2018\, 12.00pm-1.30pm\nWhere: The Round Room\, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery\, Chamberlain Square\, Birmingham\, B3 3DH\nRSVP: by Wednesday 14th November 2018 to Penny Colbourne
